SBC CEO: First Class to Sofia?
by NIGEL WARD

Further to recent articles (here, and here) reporting on payments made using a Scarborough Borough Council corporate credit cards, readers will (perhaps) be unsurprised to learn that an inspection of the July 2018 Procurement Card transactions assigned to the Chief Executive Office reveals another jolly jaunt to a foreign capital – this time, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Whether these excursions were necessitated by the demands of an official position (perhaps to secure for Scarborough twinning status with another EU capital while a visa is not yet necessary), or to follow the fortunes of some Jock ‘footie’ club in European competition is not (at this time) entirely clear.
What is clear is the opulence of Sofia’s Five-Star Grand Hotel. It may not be as much fun to stay at as the YMCA – but it beats the old Air B&B. And it gives new meaning to the expression “servants’ quarters”.
