During his first stint as Leader, Green commissioned a report into claims of whistleblower Martin Morton, a former social services employee, who was bullied out of his job after revealing systematic financial abuse of vulnerable people in council care.[12] The report discovered that a “corrosive culture” existed within the authority in which the “abnormal has become commonplace.”[1]
In 2016, a £17,000 inquiry revealed that ex-Labour council leader Steve Foulkes had broken the council code of conduct and brought the council into disrepute over a leaked telephone conversation he had had with four whistleblowers.[13] Foulkes denied ever using the recording to “smear” Green. Personal lifeGreen lives in Irby with his wife Carol, a local head teacher.[6][5] The couple have two daughters.
