Thanet Bloggers are demanding actual answers as KCC attempt to blame the law as to the nature of around Ł600,000 in bonus for people who quit.

BIGNEWS MARGATE: Kent explains big bonus bit are things any clearer?

Quite what aspect of the law it was that managed to trip up KCC is unclear as they are basically refusing to say. Local opinion appears to be that HR cocked up and that perhaps an investigation needs to be carried out.

In short people are calling for blood with a local desire to see head roll - that is a bunch P45s handed to the top bods who let this happen.

Adam Wilkinson, now chief executive of Derby City Council, was KCCs former director of regeneration and transport but quit after just a year in the post.
