Dudley Council facing questions over £35k in lost IT kit

The authority pointed out £35,000 was the replacement market value of the equipment, not the residual value which it believed would be much lower.

Phil Atkins, council cabinet member for corporate strategy, said: “The council has a clear process in place for equipment to be returned once employment ends. In the vast majority of cases this happens.

“In the instances where it doesn’t, we rigorously follow up with individuals to work to get the property back.

“Our debtor’s team continues to pursue those with any outstanding items.”

The spokesperson said the authority “fully acknowledged the significance of averting preventable losses”.

“We are dedicated to enhancing our inventory management systems and implementing tighter controls over equipment issuance and returns,” they added.
