5 January - Nice work if you can get it
The
gravy train which is Local Government salaries never fails to arrive ahead of time and deliver the goods for its passengers. In Birmingham where year old rubbish litters
the streets the Government appointed Commissioners are travelling First Class.
Among the lucky recipients of £1,100 a day you will see the name Jackie Belton.
Ms. Belton went to Birmingham from Bexley where she was Chief Executive having arrived here
via Newham and Lambeth and earning
various Golden Goodbyes along the way.
In her defence one can only say that she was not the worst of Bexley’s Chief Executives one of whom deceived the Borough and was rewarded with a massive pension for an imagined health problem.
