An internal Audit by Labour run Wigan council has identified numerous failings in its 'Wigan South Gateway scheme', costing Wigan taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The scheme which included various road changes to Frog Lane lane and saddle junction, original should have cost £694,000 but the final cost came to over £1.04 million.
Errors highlighted in the report included;
Compensation claims paid by the council due to delays with the project.
Constant alterations and variations to the contract from the initial specification by Wigan Council.
A failure in the councils contract administration adding to an escalation of costs.
