Oakham Town Meeting 2018 Clerk Hides in Council Office

Oakham Town Meeting 2018 Clerk Hides in Council Office

It is normal for the Clerk to take the minutes at the Town Meeting. This year the Clerk Allison Greaves chose not to face the public.

Her dishonest partner in crime Cllr Michael Haley had sort legal advice from NALC and he said they
advised no one could raise any issue relating to the town clerk. Because it was an internal council matter.

Cllr Michael Haley make up your mind please. One minute the clerk lying to Leicestershire Police about me is not a council matter and can not be discussed in a council meeting during an exempt item; and the next minute it is a council matter and can not be discussed in public.

The Clerk has lied about one of the management team and according to her contract of employment
that is gross misconduct.

Also the Clerk has lied to the Council, she gave the police exempt documents and claimed they came from my blog which is a blatant lie to save her from another charge of gross misconduct.

I have never been given or published exempt staffing committee minutes.

Personally I don't hate the Clerk, I hate the fact she has fallen foul of the game the old guard plays to seek my exclusion from the council.

Although I did not discuss the Clerk at the public meeting I had handed out a statement at the public meeting prior to Cllr Michael Haley sharing what he claimed was legal advice.

I was pleased the Chairman of the Rutland Conservatives Mrs Clifton spoke about the Clerks incompetence and her inability to do the job.

Cllr Haley mentioned the external and internal audits these reports have not been presented to council
so we have to take his dishonest word that everything was fine.

It is a fact he lied at this evenings meeting because he said the external auditor was happy with the governance and procedures of Oakham Town Council.

The last published report stated there was a significant failure of governance.

Hopefully this year we will get to see all parts of the annual return so the clerk does not repeat such a serious failing.
