Oakham Town Council, Financial matters


At Oakham Town Council's next meeting Financial matters are on the agenda.

I find the item 12 interesting the mob at Oakham Town Council will often publicly say I am wrong when I point out issues and they attempt to implement changes as if it was due to their own findings.

The Finances at Oakham Town Council have been a issue for a long time. Recently this was exposed by the Clerks terrible presentation of the accounts and the issue of the withdrawal of accounts because of his failure to disclose council reserves. Instead of setting up a working group the Council needs to recognise it over pays the Clerk to produce accounts he is not qualified to produce.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
WORKING GROUP
(i) To agree the formation of a new Finance Working Group and to agree on its
membership and terms of reference. (Appendix E)
(ii) To approve the Financial Reserves Policy (Appendix F)

I wonder if the following changes will prompt the local police to change their minds?
I doubt it..

iii) To approve the revised Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures (Appendix G)

The Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures is what Inspector Mystry wrongly refers to 
when dealing with the grant application placed before the council by Cllr John  Nowell
the council has no powers to discipline a councillor.
