Mr. John McCarthy:
Ultimately, the issues in relation to the governance aspects of the project were subject to audit and raised by the local government audit service. While the decision rests with the four CEOs, there is oversight by councillors of the actual spend of the money to ensure it is spent appropriately and accounted for. Ultimately, the budget of the local authority is the responsibility of the elected members.
