After much delay, the Town Council has finally posted the 2011 annual report. So how did they solve the conundrum of the missing figures in 2010? by simply leaving out last year's figures completely!
Having exhausted the Town Council's processes, I wish to refer this case to yourselves.
A supporting document was omitted from a Council Meeting Agenda Pack lodged in the local library (and was not available for members of the public at the meeting).
I requested a copy and was advised that I could see it during the accounts inspection window at a later date. I considered this to be unsatisfactory as the inspection opportunity commenced on a date later than the response deadline and it would of course involve considerable inconvienience to myself, including loss of annual leave time.
I referred the matter for internal review and was advised that the review panel considered the document as draft and therefore not for public circulation (despite being presented at a full open Council meeting without exclusion of the public).
I attach your standard form and a screen scrape of the correspondence- it can also be found at http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/missing_agm_document_in_library#incoming-195035
Thank you,
Ian Grey
