MORE QUESTIONS TO THE AUDIT COMMISSION

Dear Ms Painter,

I do not understand your reply. You have not responded to any of the evidence against Mr Watkinson.
You are also silent on whether Mr Watkinson has received tickets from Mr Halsall to attend the Summer Pops. Am I to attribute this silence as confirmation?
The allegations were made against Mr Watkinson by Counc Warren Bradley and Counc Mike Storey. I am not clear whether you have contacted either of these councillors concerning their allegations? Do you plan to do so?
You say the Commission will consider any information received as a result of disclosures which are made to it. When will you be doing this and how? What information and which disclosures will you be considering specifically?
You say that the allegations of impropriety have been subject to internal investigation and review by the city council. How do you know this? Can you provide me with any evidence of this, to support your contention?
I can provide you with tape recorded testimony from elected members which supports some of the allegations made. Can you tell me what you will do with this evidence if it is provided to you?
More recent allegations were also made on the blog about the activities of Jason Harborow in relation to the Summer Pops and CMP Entertainment. Are you considering these and if so, how?
You say that "Mr Watkinson will continue to consider any information that you send and take this into account during the course of his audit". Can you tell me which information will he be considering specifically?
