District Auditor
There is a comment on the entry about Powys in which a call is made for an examination of the matter by the District Auditor
The District Auditor is the ultimate sanction available to residents who believe their council has not acted in a proper manner with public funds and over the provision of public service.
I would support the call for a District Audit of the affair of proposed library closures in Powys and add that I believe the same should take place in Lancashire, Buckinghamshire, Calderdale, Devon and Dorset. I would also like to see an Ombudsman examine the affairs of the MLA, the DCMS and the Minister of State with respect to their various responsibilities over public libraries.
