"A former Worcestershire council leader has pleaded guilty to stealing tens of thousands of pounds from a charity.
Ex-leader of Redditch Borough Council David Roy Cartwright, 52, admitted stealing at least £24,695 from local homeless charity Step Out Drop In.
He also admitted making false claims for the charity totalling £63,467 between June 1997 and April 2001.
Cartwright, of Donnington Close, Redditch, will return to Hereford Crown Court for sentencing on 27 February.
The Step Out Drop In charity has since collapsed.
The court heard how Cartwright, who served as a councillor on three separate occasions between 1986 and 2007, had made false claims to the borough council, a charitable foundation and a government department."
Although the BBC report this with no mention that he was in fact a Labour Clr. Just a minor oversight I am sure.
Maybe Mr Cartwright should have set up a policy forum in the style of one Peter "pitch ripper" Hain. He could always argue that it is all the fault of the South African security forces as that excuse also worked for Peter Hain as well...
