Rather oddly a Cllrs wife recently commented on Facebook that I was wrong and there was no issue with the current Clerk. I would suggest she is wrong and she should keep up to date with the agendas like I do. This one for the next meeting clearly shows there is an issue.
It is reported in the external audit report that the clerk refused to answer auditors questions and presented incorrect figures to councillors who rather stupidly just accepted them.
The councillors are all still fighting each other, Rutland County Council is currently dealing with a number of conduct complaints. Details of those complaints can't be published until after investigations are completed.
