Marble Arch Mound: call to review ‘culture of complacency’ at council

Labour councillors urge further scrutiny of failings that led to 3m overspend at Tory-run Westminster

Councillors have called for an independent review of a culture of complacency" at a flagship Tory-run council that ran up a 3m overspend on a much-derided new visitor attraction in London's West End labelled Teletubby hill".

An internal Westminster council report, discussed at a council scrutiny meeting on Wednesday evening, admitted the Marble Arch Mound had been badly mismanaged by officials including unacceptable errors of judgment caused by the desire to rush it through at speed.
