Two Bury council officers deliberately delayed investigating pedophilia allegations against Labour politician ahead of election, independent inquiry concludes

Two Bury council officers deliberately delayed investigating pedophilia allegations against a Labour politician, an independent inquiry has concluded - in order to help the party’s chances in 2015’s knife-edge general election.

An explosive internal report seen by the M.E.N. concludes two top officials put off child protection procedures so that the claims about Simon Carter did not surface ahead of the poll.

Carter, at the time Labour councillor for Tottington, was eventually convicted of downloading sexual images of children five months after the election. But - as reported previously - the council had initially failed to fully ensure children with whom he might have contact would be protected.

Bent bastards.

They should have started investigations between 24 to 48 hours.....not left it weeks.
On local radio a spokesperson said.."No child was harmed because of this delay".....idiots.

Agreed Syl, this is appalling.

Former chief executive Mike Owen is alleged to have admitted delaying procedures to do Labour ‘a favour’, a claim he has strenuously denied.

Both he and the council’s director of children’s services Mark Carriline resigned last month. Mr Owen quit before a disciplinary investigation was complete and Mr Carriline resigned after being found guilty of serious misconduct.

They care more about the image of Labour, than the protection of children.

They are pure scum

Thats leftys for you...
