‘Organisational dysfunction at the most senior level’ of Croydon LBC has been laid bare in a long-buried report leaked to The MJ.

The February 2021 report by independent investigator Richard Penn was commissioned by the Local Government Association in an attempt to understand how the council sunk so low.

Croydon’s leadership had suggested the Penn report would be published once disciplinary processes had concluded but it has yet to surface officially.

However, it can now be revealed that Mr Penn blamed the council’s dysfunction on ‘poor governance by the former political leadership of the council and by correspondingly poor managerial leadership from the council’s most senior officers’.
