Doncaster……………….

Not the races but the Council, again.
Oh look, Doncaster under special measures: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8629342.stm
CC also has a take: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/04/19/114325/Doncaster-Council-faces-government-intervention.htm
This is however particularly damming as it identifies major political as well as professional failings, starting with the Mayor. So expect to see some high pay-off pay outs to get rid of a few dorks – what was it Gordon Brown said, “do not reward failure” or something like that? Mind you, after the debacle with Shoesmith the Ministers head must be spinning - what best to do?
There is one saving grace, it is the Audit Commission this time who put the boot in and who have a little better reputation than Ofsted. However, most organisations have a better reputation than Ofsted – not difficult under its current twat of a leader.
