Council deputy clears off

So, it looks like it's farewell to that copper from Sheffield who doesn't know where Easton is.
News is coming in that that accident prone copper turned Bristol City Council Deputy Chief Exec, Jon House, is leaving his £140k a year post to take up a £175k a year post in Cardiff.

House has been in post barely 2 years, has creamed over £300k out of the council taxpayer and developed a reputation at the Counts Louse for being a lazy sod who got a combination of CONsultants and graduate trainees to do his job for him.

However, it comes as no surprise that he's clearing off. Here's what the Blogger said last May:

"Today we hear that this copper from Sheffield who doesn’t know where Easton is who’s been put in charge of marketing the city for no coherent reason doesn’t actually bother to live here!

Apparently his family’s still living up north and he’s not bothering to buy a house in Bristol and actually live here as the game plan is obviously to spend a couple of years in Bristol as a staging post to a chief executive’s post somewhere else.

This might explain his desperate desire for a personal CONsultant ‘reputation manager’ mightn’t it? Are we forking out our council tax to help him get a better job by any chance?"

Looks like the answer was yes.

But did he go or was he pushed?
