Drury refers Greenwich Time to District Auditor

September 13, 2011 By Rob Powell

COUNCILLOR Spencer Drury has referred the council's newspaper, Greenwich Time, to the District Auditor.

Drury, leader of Greenwich Conservatives, sent his letter to the auditor after the council decided to keep on publishing the weekly newspaper despite a new Code of Conduct from the government stating councils shouldn't publish their own newsletters more than four times a year.

Two weeks ago, the councillor had his attempt to refer the decision back to the council for re-examination blocked by a scrutinee committee.

His letter to the District Auditor, whose job is to make sure that local government finance is run as it should be according to law, outlines the ways he believes the decision to carry on publishing breaches the new Code of Conduct.

"I do not believe that GT [Greenwich Time] represents value for money for the people of Greenwich and I consider it to be a huge waste of money," writes Cllr Drury.
