The bigger mischief has happened with the abandoned development at Dean Gardens, where the developer Henry Construction went into liquidation a couple of years ago. Strsngeky itvpaid a dividend of £10million to the mother of the chief executive not long before, then went bust with debts of £30million.
The geniuses at Ealing council had committed £40million of our money to Henry for this project, which will now see the half built homes demolished further cost to Ealing taxpayers.
A bit of due diligence would have shown that Henry’s management team had a history of such defaults, yet still creamed off money for themselves. |
