Agenda - Employment Committee Meeting for Wednesday, 25 June, 6.30pm at the Village Hall

Date: 7 days ago

Yet another secret employment committee meeting at the council. Who are the councillors on this employment committee anyway? Will the clerk tell us?

Date: 6 days ago

Contact the clerk and ask who the councillors are for the meeting, or wait for the minutes.

Employment committee meetings are usually confidential says Google.

I’m surprised Spooner Row council still has a clerk and chairman. The abuse is disgusting. Shame on you.

But the clerk posted the agenda and is active on this website so why would she not answer the earlier request?

(Dear Poster,

Just to clarify, the Clerk doesn't directly post agendas on here and I am not sure how often she visits this site. The agendas are forwarded to the Webstation and posted on the message board on behalf of the Community Council. Posting on here helps disseminate the Council's information and this has been the case since the Community Council was formed in 2019.

The Clerk manages the recently set-up SRCC's website.

This looks like a smoke screen to me, especially after the heated meeting last week !

I don't understand why the webmaster is getting involved on this thread and splitting hairs. ....(edited).....

For a “ community council” who are surposed to be working for our communities there are a lot of things going on in a negative way. Lots of un answered questions, nothing happening regarding spending the 100k pot that is available, a woodland area that has cost lots of money and can’t be used as it’s unsafe ( this has been going on for 4 years ), an increase in our council tax that a percentage goes to the council with nothing to show apart from an over paid clerk! This list goes on.
And before anyone says “ you should attend the meetings“ it is not a pleasant experience! It usually ends up with a slanging match between councillors ( there is very really all councillors in attendance anyway )

Another 2 years of this debacle before the elections!

From what I understand there has for a long time been friction between individuals on the community council. Many good councillors have resigned because of one individual which is evident by previous postings on this web site and reports in the local press. I think the clerk does an excellent job in the circumstances and has taken on more responsibilities because of the situation on the council. There had previously been several clerks who had resigned, what were the reasons why?

The increase in community council tax was minimal compared to the larger increases for the district and county councils.

There are more than one individual on the community council who are quite capable of throwping her toys out of the pram !!
