Harrow Labour's Wasted Millions

Harrow Labour's Wasted Millions

Despite constantly complaining of ‘underfunding’ and 'cuts' by central government, Harrow’s Labour Council has wasted over £84 million of taxpayers’ money.

Harrow Conservatives can reveal that the Labour Council have wasted local peoples’ money on the following aborted or failed projects:

  • £46.4 million on flawed regeneration projects
  • £3.7 million on aborted IT projects
  • £342,639 on ill-conceived Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and ‘ghost’ Cycle Lanes
  • £300,000 on inflating the Council’s communications and PR department
  • £140,00 on back-office HR and bureaucracy
  • £25 million on Kings House offices (pictured) which remains virtually empty

The Labour Council has also wasted nearly £8 million on other aborted and failed schemes. Harrow needs a Conservative Council which will treat residents’ taxes with respect and invest in frontline services rather than back-office HR, communications, and needless vanity projects.
