Review of Oakham Town Council

Review of Oakham Town Council




Last night along with 3 other councillors I was elected to a new working group to review internal Audit and Policy and procedure



I was given a model copy of Standing orders for local councils



I flicked through the pages and one mandatory requirement stuck out.



The recent staffing committee meeting, notice of meeting failed to comply with regulations. They notice was not published with 3 clear working days before the meeting.



I raised this in writing at the time I also pointed this out to the monitoring officer at RCC.



This was ignored. I suggest this is another example of how rules don’t apply to Oakham Town Council when it suits them.
