Oakham Town Council Complaints

I wish to make the following complaints:


1. Cllr Jan Fillingham
Failed to declare a prejudicial interest, when she made a decision relating to the council's rent as the Chairman whilst of sick but mentally capable to does so according to the town clerk. Cllr Fillingham stopped attending any meetings once I was elected and runs the council from her home.
Cllr Fillingham is a trustee for the Landlords Victoria Hall.




2. Cllr Jan Fillingham, Cllr Sharon Spencer, Town Clerk Richard White.
For making a decision effecting the rental agreement with out the full councils consent or knowledge.
I fear this is common practice.



3. Cllr Jan Fillingham, Cllr Sharon Spencer, Town Clerk Richard White.
For renewing the toilet cleaning contract and agreeing to a increese of the fee, without the consent or knowledge of the full council.

Council members only became aware of this decision two days before a full council meeting. The members were told the council could make a permanent decision at a later date. Council members could have decided at the full meeting.
This is unacceptable, public money has been spent without the full council approval.
I think this highlights my concerns, Oakham Town Council is run by a elite group and I hope Rutland County Council and the Standards Committee support my request for a full audit of Oakham Town Council to be carrried out by The Governments audit commission.

Cllr Martin Brookes
