It appears that the York Council has spent £18,000 on a consultant’s review of its transformation project.

John Tizard Ltd apparently completed the review 4 months ago and submitted a bill for £18,000.

The results of the review have not been revealed in any Council papers.

Opposition Councillors are likely to press for the documents to be published on the Councils web site.

The transformation review is related to the Councils ludicrously mis-titled “rewiring” project.

The money would have been better spent on improving the customer contact interface which is limping along pending the implementation “of a software upgrade“.
