"OUTRAGED residents heard last night’s audit committee meeting slam Barnet Council, after it employed unlicensed security firm MetPro for five years, without a formal contract.
"A damning in-house report, written by assistant director of finance, Maryellen Salter, says the failure has exposed the council to 'significant' risks. She revealed there had been no checks on the now bankrupt firm’s financial status, its insurance, or criminal records of staff.
"However, Chair of the meeting Cllr Monrow Palmer made it clear he would not be naming names. He said:
"What I have been told in law is that if I start mentioning people in name, I am harming any disciplinary measures that could take place."
