A FORMER council employee has alleged that Oldham council wasted a "large amount" of money on electronic tablets to tackle fly-tipping.
According to the ex-employee council officers were issued with electronic devices to speed up day to day service requests and document fly-tipping incidents.
The former member of the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team, who does not wish to be named, told The Oldham Times that a "large amount of money,” which they believed to be in excess of tens of thousands, had been spent on the doomed project.
The former staff member said the system was “very quickly found to be unfit for purpose,” claiming the devices “have never been used” and calling the debacle a “waste” of public funds.
