It Ain’t Woking…
// Woking council has declared it is effectively bankrupt after admitting a risky investment spree involving hotels and skyscrapers overseen by its former Conservative administration had left it facing a deficit of £1.2bn.
The Surrey council, the most heavily indebted local authority in England, said it had issued a section 114 notice on Wednesday in response to “unprecedented financial challenges” facing the town.
A section 114 notice is effectively an admission that a council does not have the resources to meet current expenditure. //
Oh burgher!

OK, so I am still not sure of your point.
For me this is unacceptable, councils should not be permitted to risk council funds like this. They need somehow ringfencing.
Of course you are posting a Conservative Council here but Croydon under labour did the same.
If we are to get change we need to stop the politiking and force change.
