David Buck the former manager at Hartham Pool who diverted more than £320,000 into fake bank accounts and then went on the run only to be caught selling dodgy number plates on a Manchester market has been convicted of running a drug factory. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/newshome/Drugs-factory-duo-jailed.5069300.jp It surprised me at the time that it could be possible to divert unnoticed, tens of thousands of pounds a year from a single local amenity that subsequently has been sold off because it was a loss making drain on council funds. What was it that Mr Buck could do that EHDC could not?
