Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
"Help stop council waste on £3.3 million new IT"
I have received an email from Haringey LibDems about this and thought some members may be interested:
"This month Labour councillors decided to spend £3.3million on new computers and laptops for the Town Hall. This is during a time when the Council has made numerous decisions to cut frontline services like closing older people’s drop-in centres, cutting youth service budgets by 75% and reducing Council support for the police in Haringey.
"I think the council have got their priorities wrong.
"LibDems on the Council have taken swift action and an official review of the decision is due to be heard this week. But they also need your help to demonstrate that local residents’ do not support this spending and to shame the Council into reversing its decision.
"Please help to get the Council to prioritise spending on frontline services rather than buying £3.3 million worth of Town Hall computers, by signing this petition today. Your support could really help to change the Council’s mind on this issue. Please add your name to the petition at http://campaigns.libdems.org.uk/StopHaringey'sITSpending"

There is insufficient information provided in your post to determine whether this is waste or not (and this is a different point made to the same topic in another thread), can you provide more information to enable us to judge please? Many organisations run invest to save programs where upfront outlay reduces longer term costs – without knowing what the purpose of this spend is it’s impossible to say – there should be a supporting business case? Is this IT spend to support the execution of frontline services?
You may prefer that this money is spent on other services, but that is another issue.
