I am not one to leap up and down demanding that heads roll and resignations must follow each bowt of bad news. However I did, with a lot of media coverage, demand that somebody within the ruling Labour adminsitration take responsibility for the dreadful 0-Star (yes, zero star) rating for Housing. Of course, the weak LibDem opposition are happy to allow Labour to bumble along constantly promising jam tomorrow because they know the state they left the City in was little better.
Interesting that despite Steve Morphew saying that resignations would achieve nothing, today a letter was published in the Evening News (sadly not on-line) from a staunch life-long Labour member in Norwich demanding that Morphew personally should resign to prevent meltdown at the elections and to restore confidence in the council.
When your political enemies slam you, that's the game, when your own members do it ...

The reoganisation within the housing department that lies at the core of this mess was created by the Lib dems.Although i fail to se tham admitting that their reorganisation was a mistake and accepting that labour was left to sort out the mess.
Who was it from Antony??
A gentleman from Trafford Road of all places!!! No influence from me, I promise you!
The problem IMO has been the scale of the housing stock problem, resources required along with the variable calibre of officer/s to deal with it.
The public are more concerned with "quality" officers getting stuck in, not going off on sickies, taking housing by the scruff of the neck and getting ratings up, than Morphs head to roll. The public has a few elections ahead to determine who might sit on the front seats in the council chamber.
