Levelling up fund

[Aylestone Voice]

The Council have secured a total of some £25m from various sources but they need someone to deliver it. So this is what they do:-

"To award a contract to AECOM Limited to provide professional services support for the design and delivery of the LUF programme at a forecast cost of £765,539 and to assign £154,000 of the LUF Programme Contingency and Risk allowance to this contract."

AECOM is an American multinational infrastructure consulting firm.

Should be good for lil' old Hereford then. It does beg the question as to what so many in Plough Lane actually do, when so much is passed to expensive outside facilitators. It should be one or the other surely? Does anyone have a grip on costs in Plough Lane? I suspect no one wants to rock the boat, it's all too cosy, and the 'interim' directors come and go so fast that they can never see anything through.
