Exeter High Schools PFI

I know that this is an unusual request but may I suggest that readers, who know my stance over the Exeter High Schools PFI read the Construction News for Thursday the 20th July in particular page 5. On this page a whistleblower who published lists of allegedly blacklisted electricians will face his former employer at an employment tribunal in November.This person, Mr Wainwright claims he was dismissed for making protected disclosures about widespread fraud on Mowlem's Exeter Schools PFI project, where Haden Young was the M&E subcontractor.Bearing in mind the disputes over delivery and acceptance of these schools my opinion is that Devon County Council must immediately order a full investigation into these allegations. They cannot just accept the schools particularily if there is shown to be concerns over the quality of the standard and performance of the electrical wiring in any of the schools.Please remember that the council have already admitted that contaminated cement was used in the construction of the schools. When will they order a full independent report into what has gone on in the building of our expensive, £315 million, schools.
