Oakham Town Council vote to appoint an accountant to check the council accounts after public money goes missing. Clerk refuses access to council laptop.

Oakham Town Council  vote to appoint an accountant to check the council accounts after public money goes missing. 

Oakham Town Council have admitted petty cash may be missing and the matter was reported to the police.

The councillor who reported the loss to the police, is now being reported for breaching standing orders, that does not make the council look good.

The town council has a serious staffing issue with the clerk, details of that have been leaked.

Some not leaked, Issues with the annual return figures not being correct and refusing to answer auditors questions is reported.

A councillor has told me when the accountant visits the council in the new year they hope the clerk will let them look at the laptop, currently the assistant clerk and any member of the council is refused access to the council laptop.
