Gravy train arrives again in Blackpool as Education bosses jet to USA for conference.
Coun Don Clapham, cabinet member for children's services went on the five-day Seattle trip with director of children's services David Lund, and BSF director Robert Brophy, said it had been so useful town hall officials would return to America later this year. Not if the electorate can help it.
Three officials from the council's children's services department spent more than £2,500 on hotels and flights to attend Microsoft's Building Schools for the Future (BSF) conference in Seattle, just for information they could have got by attending a conference at Microsoft's UK headquarters in Berkshire. Had they the brains they could have gotten the same information on their own PC at home by using the computers provided for them by the taxpayer.
They could have went to Berkshire on First class train travel and had breakfast with Counc Fowler, whilst having a giggle at the council tax payers who have no choice but to fund their extravagances.
