flag Hertfordshire Council approved £18.4M in secret funding for special needs school projects, sparking transparency concerns.

flag Hertfordshire County Council is under scrutiny for approving an £18.4 million funding boost for four special needs education projects without public disclosure, citing commercial sensitivity. flag The projects include school relocations and expansions, with the total budget now at £72.2 million. flag While two contracts have since been published and the Breakspeare School’s revised budget is in the capital monitor, Labour councillor Ian Albert criticized the lack of transparency, arguing the decision should have been shared with broader cabinet panels due to its financial impact. flag The council maintains that initial confidentiality was necessary but now provides updated information through official channels.
