Ms Jo Goodliffe wrote to Cllr Matthew Taylor ask him to resign for various reason via e-mail on the Saturday On the Monday Cllr Matthew Taylor resigned from Oakham Town Council.
The public were not informed of his immediate resignation until late Thursday.
Why?
Was the council it has been suggested members of the council were attempting to persuade him to retract his resignation, surely the council has failed the local government act once once again.

As you say, Mr Taylor resigned in an e-mail to the Chairman of the Council on the evening of Monday 24th January. I came into work the following day and picked up the e-mail forwarded from the Chairman.
Members were informed of the resignation in an e-mail sent out by me at 8.34am on the Tuesday morning.
The Monitoring Officer was then informed in a letter sent out that same day.
I generally update the website once a week and put news of Mr Taylor's resignation on the website on the Thursday.

I guess a special time was created when I resigned as all the above was completed within less than 24hrs
