At each meeting Councillor Haley presents all members with these single sided
printed report which contain little substance as to what is going on with the
Oakham Neighbourhood Plan.
Looking at the reports I can see the working group is heading for a huge budget overspend.
of at least £4330,00 this fiscal year.
We are told the working group is hoping Rutland County Council will not invoice
for services ordered this year until the start of the next fiscal year.
Fingers crossed they won't. or the budget over spend may be 100% or more
the reports do not show all the working groups expenditure.
I would like to know why Cllr Michael Haley and the group is permitted to place an order
with Rutland County Council when the group does not have the money in their
budget and why he thinks it is acceptable to gamble that the group may receive
the invoice and the money to pay from next years money?
I also believe that paying Rutland County Council for Consultancy
is a serious conflict of interest, Due to them constantly and incorrectly
stating that Neighbourhood Plans should mirror their own local plans.
Uppingham Town Councils high court judgment proved this comment is not true.
