Burrell, of Eastcote Grove, Southend had been working as a private sector housing manager for Southend Council.
He diverted taxpayers’ money to developers but insisted his only motivation was to try and get people off the housing waiting list.
On Friday Basildon Crown Court heard he had a breakdown after becoming overwhelmed by Southend’s housing crisis and decided to cut corners.Another sterling effort by the council to safeguard public money!
I expect he'll just do his day job in prison.
