Do you think this is a disappointing way of measuring a Councillor’s worth?

Response by

Until such time the charity is formed, do I take it that the Council is paying the bills or how is this working at the moment?

Response

To the best of my knowledge, the Council is paying the London Sports Group monies to run the sports ground as this needs to keep running.  We are not handing over the full amount until the Charities Commission has formed the charity.  We do have oversight of the bills and costs.
