Council Fuel Card System Exposes Plymouth to "Fraud and Financial Loss" Risk
Twelve high-priority actions needed after auditors discover Plymouth's fuel card system lacks basic controls to prevent misuse and financial loss.
PlymLeaks is dedicated to scrutinising Plymouth City Council and highlighting where things go wrong.
Ran by independent journalists, we focus on issues that matter to residents: wasted spending, projects that fall short of expectations, delays in repairing and maintaining our city, staff misconduct cases, and instances where official actions raise serious concerns.
Our reporting is fact-driven. We look at the outcomes of council decisions, how public money is managed, and the real impact on the people of Plymouth.
PlymLeaks isn’t about party politics or spin. It’s about transparency, accountability, and making sure the public has access to clear information on how their city is being run.
We believe Plymouth deserves better — and that starts with open, honest reporting.
