Stephen Burrell, former Conservative cabinet member for Education, said today that the £92,000 spent on a head of children’s’ services was a waste of money. He said after four years on Conservative control Telford had a falling number of children in care, the lowest youth unemployment in the borough’s history, and improving GCSE results. All of this was achieved without a dedicated director of children’s’ services, and the cost to the tax payer that goes with it.
