The reason for messages like keep your nose out our business and the constant stream of hate is becoming clearer.
Some people connect to Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council and Town Group(s) have a lot to hide.
I have been asked by someone in the know not to blog they have told me this so I will leave their name out of it.
The person explained to me the town council paid for half the cost of of new lighting in Cutts Close, Oakham. The other half was to be paid by a grant received from The Welland Partnership and via Rutland County Council this money was received by Oakham Town Council. The August payment appears to be assigned to Oakham Town Council, bank records show this was not received. The explanation I received was it is likely the money has been paid to a Oakham Organisation and a member of staff has put it under the wrong heading in error and mistakes are made. If this is the case my question was the full amount was claimed from the Welland Partnership or has Rutland County Council paid this organisation money they are not due. If so why. If the full amount was granted then it should have been paid in full to Oakham Town Council the authority who paid the invoice. I can not understand how this other organisation has been able to claim this payment.
This is another example of how clearly there is something wrong with Rutland County Council finances and those who control it.
Of course its not as much money as the one million that appeared from unexplained source with in hours of the councils budget being presented to full council. £5000+ is still a lot to most of us
I now await another insulting email from the Conservative Deputy Leader Terry King. He is meant to be in charge of finance....
When I have dealt with this I will seek a FOI to find out why Melton Town Partnership was paid £27,000 under the heading capital projects.
And what the gentleman did for the council under the heading Chief Executive to receive a nice rounded sum of money.
Oakham Town Council Missing Receipt from Rutland County Council
There is something wrong with Rutland County Council and its accounting systems or Oakham Town Councils accounting
Public records show Rutland County Council paid Oakham Town Council 2 payments total £10,564
I have asked the Clerk Richard White at Oakham Town Council if we received both of these payments.
The clerk said no, we only received the first payment and it was late.
It is publicly published the second payment was made August 2010
I have now requested an auditor is called in to track this payment. Or is this a matter for the police?
