Oakham Town Council Councillors Questions for next meeting.

Councillors Questions for next meeting.


1. Will the chairman of Oakham Town Council return all or part of the allowance paid in full at the start of her term?

2. Is it acceptable for the chairman to keep her allowance when she has not been carrying out any official duties or attending meetings?

3. At the last councillor questions the town Clerk stated the chairman was mentally capable to work over the phone, why is this acceptable?

4. The Town Clerk informs me it is against the rules for the council to pay into a private pension fund. Oakham Town Council can only pay money in the local authority pension fund. So why is Oakham Town Council giving the Town Clerk payments in lieu?

5. the cash sums paid to the Town Clerk are considerable when is the Town Clerk going to return these payments to the local taxpayer?

6. The schedule of payments a public document, clearly show the pay rise paid to the Town Clerk this year is disgustingly high. Why was the town clerk awarded such a large pay rise?

7. How much is the Town Clerk paid?
