Preston Town Hall in Lancaster Road Pic: Blog Preston Preston City Council could be sued by a local authority in Essex for more than £2m. It comes amid
What Prestonians have made of the Friargate South revamp plansIt comes amid a legal wrangle over botched solar farm investments that cost Thurrock Council an estimated £200m – and effectively bankrupted it in the process. The southern authority incurred the eye-watering loss after ploughing money into more than 50 energy-generating sites that turned out to be worth far less than it believed.
Thurrock says it has selected the near two dozen councils on its legal hit list because of their “consistent involvement as active members of APSE throughout the period when the valuations were given”, TBIJ has reported. “APSE is extremely disappointed that in the midst of a pathway to resolving a complex and costly dispute – one that risks embroiling over 250 local councils in a legal matter – Thurrock Council has chosen to issue a press release which risks undermining sensitive discussions with our member local councils. This is even more regrettable because Thurrock are fully aware that APSE’s governance board is to meet to discuss next steps Friday 8th November in an emergency meeting.
“While our primary focus is on recovering money from those who sought to line their own pockets from the public purse, we have a duty to consider all lines of recovery. This includes pursuing those organisations whose incorrect advice also contributed to the council’s decision to make the poor investments.
