Welcome to Lincoln Harry!
South Kesteven District Council paid £5,500 for its leader to go on a training course which included a trip to America.
The council paid a total of £6,600, of which it will get £1,100 VAT back. The programme’s remaining cost was paid for by a bursary. Councillor Phil Dilks criticised the spending, saying: “At the height of a cost of living crisis, a local government funding crisis, and the closure of the Deepings Leisure Centre, the Conservative leader has chosen to send himself on expensive training courses.”
Councillor Kelham Cooke defended the trip, saying: “This trip is the only overseas trip I have taken since being elected leader. It is part of the leadership programme that I am currently undertaking which is called Future Vision which is run by the national Leadership Centre and supported by the Local Government Association and ultimately run through the University of Birmingham.
“As part of the extensive 16 whole days of the course, four full days are held in Boston, USA, where I and other leaders from various councils of different political parties, were part of the delegation. I personally paid for my flights and personal expenses.” “It was also recommended in our recent peer review that we continue to invest further in all areas of political leadership which supports cross organisational working and a focus on the future.”
