This article points the finger almost exclusively at Liam Kavanagh and almost ignores Sean Clark, Thurrock’s Finance Director.

A bit of digging turned up this much longer article published a year ago and while Liam Kavanagh and his companies feature in it there's also quite a bit more about Sean Clark's role in all this.
