All that glitters with our gold

Isn’t it great to see Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, supporting local consultants to the tune of well over £800,000 in August alone?

From big companies to small digital marketing experts, Mayor Parker continues to spread our money far and wide.

He even paid £27,500 to the Trades Union Congress for its advice on adult education not to mention £72,500 for Oxford Innovation to dispense business advice to small companies.

Then there’s August’s £297,000 spent on agency staff not to mention the £38,800 which went to our very own LinkedIn for staff recruitment costs.

Oh and he’s just paid £253,000 to Wolverhampton Council to meet its Mayoral election costs which is obviously a bargain.

Probably the most exciting payment was the £650 spent marketing ‘cycling for everyone’ with Amanda’s Face Painting, Glitter and Gems. I’m sure everyone looked lovely.
