Dear Mustafa

 

Please accept my apologies for the slight delay in responding.

 

The council has a corporate contract with Matrix SCM to manage the supply
of temporary staff to the council.

 

No money has been paid directly to Mike England as both Interim Managers
and Consultants are required to be paid through the Matrix system via CDL
(Clients Direct Ltd) which is a payroll arm of Matrix.

 

To date £115,186 has been paid to Mike England via Matrix since his 
appointment on the 3rd March 2016.

 

Regards, SBC FOI Officer

King Mustafa,

Slough Witch's handsome husband explained to me the culprits answer is not the information you need.

"To date £115,186 has been paid to Mike England via Matrix since his appointment on the 3rd March 2016."

Rather, how much did the culprits pay to Matrix for the services of Mike England? They never said if £115k was net of tax and national insurance. If so, the real pay figure will be greater. Add-on the Matrix commission and the sum grows again.

You and your family must pop down to the lake for a cooling swim one evening. Investigating these culprits is hot work.

With kind regards,

Odette.

Come on SBC, tell us what we need to know.

King Mustafa is a great and patient man, but your delay in telling us how much the tenants and residents are paying for Mr England's 'services' is causing great concern.

The public deserve to know why an interim has been so generously rewarded out of council taxes and the housing revenue account without having made any service improvements.

It is a scandal.
