Oakham Mayor Adam Lowe No Change For 2017

Although the rules clearly state the chairman has no more powers than any other member of the council and it is also a rule that no member can tell a Clerk what to do the clerk tells me he is
following the Mayors decision not to provide me with a copy of a letter read out at last nights meeting I wonder why the clerk has decided to follow the Mayors instructions. The only thing silly about this is the refusal of the council to issue a copy of a letter that had a significant impact upon a
councils decision. My request is not silly Mr Plum




Dear Adam

This morning I made a simple request of OTC, the acting clerk has described this as a "silly request"

I am told you have given instructions that I can not receive a copy or the reference number of the FOI that
was read out at last nights meeting.

The document played a significant part in a the outcome of a council agenda item.

The document is a public document and I request again that you provide me with a copy of the FOI read out
at the meeting or the reference number so I can find it on the RCC website.

I am frankly sick and tired of your conduct you have not legal powers to instruct the clerk or the assistant clerk
in the way you continue to do.

I also request the acting Clerk does not tell me that my requests are silly and then hang up on me.

The reason I ask is because even when I review the video I can not understand all that Cllr Michael Haley has
said.

The acting Clerk also told me the document was handed to the council by a member of the public
please can you tell me who that was?


From

Martin Brookes (Cllr)
