Dismore challenges Coleman over “One Barnet”
Andrew Dismore, Labour’s candidate for the London Assembly for Barnet and Camden has today challenged Brian Coleman over speculation that Mr Coleman is no longer wholeheartedly behind the Council’s “One Barnet” plan to contract out the Council’s services ( text of Mr Dismore’s email to Mr Coleman below).
Mr Dismore said:
“there has been considerable speculation that Mr Coleman is frightened of the electoral consequences of the “One Barnet” privatisation programme and now has cold feet about backing it.
The suggestion is that he is working to have it quietly dropped.
It is time for him to come clean: does he support One Barnet or not?
Is he really prepared to take the risks to services that residents will face if this crazy scheme goes ahead? And if so why has he been so quiet about the plan?
With the London elections now approaching, people are entitled to know just where he stands.
So I now challenge him publically to withdraw his support for One Barnet or accept the consequences if it goes ahead”
