"Brent taxpayers will be landed with a shocking unexpected bill of £609,000 to bail out the West London Waste Authority, which is dealing with a multi-million hole in its budget.
"Liberal Democrats are angry that the scale of the problem – the equivalent of an extra £6 levied on each council tax-paying household – has been kept from councillors. The need for emergency funding to plug the financial black hole was revealed by Councillor Barry Cheese at Monday’s Brent Council meeting, following research by Liberal Democrat councillors.
"The looming bill was not mentioned by leading Labour councillors or council officers at the budget and finance scrutiny committee earlier this month, despite the fact that the waste authority agreed to write to the council in July 2012 warning that more money would be needed."
