07/03/12 Planning Fee Rutland County Council £85.00
07/03/12 Stationery Viking £128.96
despite its tempting plastic cheap gifts Viking is a expensive company to use for all the stationery. I once worked at a place and found a local company who also delivered half the price Southgate Stationery I think it was called.
07/03/12 Bank charges HSBC £26.35
08/03/12 Green Flag Application Keep Britain Tidy £220.00
If the council does not win this year then the money spent on planning and the flag pole would be wasted.
Of course if you pay to enter you have a good chance of winning?
Rather like Bog of The Year that charges to enter and charges for you to collect you prize and if your not happy with the grade they just change it?
08/03/12 deleted Record
08/03/12 Clerks and Councils direct CommuniCorp £12.00
CommuniCorp. Independently serving LOCAL COUNCILS in ENGLAND & WALES since 1997. CLERKS & COUNCILS DIRECT is a bi-monthly newspaper
09/03/12 Stationery Colemans £4.70
Now here is a thought and very green why does the council not open a account with Colemans, they won't need to use their van they can chuck anything over the road all very carbon neutral.
13/03/12 In Bloom Plaque Civic Pride £42.00
Now its very handy when Oakham in Blooms Chairman is a Councillor 99.9% guarantee you will get your annual community grant the tax payer they will top it up with the odd purchase here and there for the Organisations Civic Pride?
14/03/12 Chain for Giant Swing Kompan Ltd. £1179.98
15/03/13
Acas says Men and women doing equal work and work rated as of equal value are entitled to equal pay. Employers may wish to carry out a pay. Poor Alison often covering for the Clerks absence is paid far less than him. Not wishing to increase the burden on the tax payer I think its time his wage was brought down to the same level. One Rutland County Councillor said he does as much if not more work for another parish council and is paid £120 a week. I would do it for that also
15/03/12 Tax and NI HM Revenue and Customs £1067.30
15/03/13 Salary - Clerk Oakham Town Council £2104.29
19/03/12 Chairmans Allowance £250
Oakham Town Council is currently complying with a Freedom of Information request to provide a full break
down of this rounded up payments. On Wednesday The Town Council will be approving new financial regulations relating to this payments i can only assume until I receive the list this is rounded up by cash donations placed in a church collection plate that don't require a receipt.
As we approach the end of the year I see there are two payment I wonder if this is a case of a must use or lose as the internal auditor has said this can not be carried over into the next year anymore?

27/03/12 Building survey costing Mitchell & Hudson Ltd £60.00

28/03/12 Tree fpr Barmstedt Oakham Town Council <<< I think this should have a name of the Councillor who went on a trip to give the tree as a gift to celebrate 25 year of twinning. They paid for their own trip Councillor decided this was best because no many residents apart from a few old Councillor know anything about the Twinning. The tree cost £80
28/03/12 Chairmans Allowance Oakham Town Council Joyce Lucas £250
30/03/12 Annual Anti Virus Subscription Millennium Computer Services £104.62
Judging by the computers poor performance at the last planning meeting the council would be better of popping down to Currys and buy a £30 pack.
