Cllr Matthew Taylor is asked to resign by local artist Jo Goodliffe

Local Artist Jo Goodliffe, is calling for the resignation of Oakham Town Councillor Matthew Taylor.

Matthew Taylor is a former Rutland County Council Planning Officer who is now a partner working at SSR Planning Northampton.

Ms Goodliffe says 'Mathew Taylor gave reckless and incompetent advice, behind her back to Inclusive Design ltd Nottigham after she had dismissed their services'

Ms Goodliffe say she has been subject to bullying and discrimination as a result of his incompetent actions.

The whole episode has caused her such heart ache and suffering. If Cllr Matthew Taylor had not been incompetent she would not be have had to pay over £35,000 for plans she did not want and which are not permissible.

Ms Goodliffe is horrified to find this man has been co-opted onto Oakham Town Council for her ward.

She is currently asking him to resign, she has not yet received a reply.

Subject: 110120.Public Meeting 19th January RCC
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 21:26:03 +0000

Hi Joscelyne,

 

I was intending to attend the meeting last night as a member of the audience.  Everybody was invited to hear the Cabinet explain and take questions on  their budget proposals.

 

As Chairman of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee I chaired a scrutiny panel which reviewed the budget proposals at a meeting last week and debated the proposals with Roger Begy and officers.  Our comments and debate were recorded for the public.

 

Unfortunately I was working in London yesterday and I was unavoidably detained.  I didn’t get back to Oakham until well after 10pm.

 

I am sorry that I was not available to comment at the meeting, but in truth, all questions should be directed to Roger Begy and the Cabinet,  and they  in turn should invite the drafting Officers to answer in the event that he was unable to.  After all, the budget was prepared by the Cabinet in conjunction with senior officers, not by the Scrutiny Committees, we are merely given the opportunity to review the proposals and can take no credit for the content.

 

Kind regards

 

Nick Wainwright
