The CPC Councillors should have been told....

I hope that John Vickery has been informing the Councillors of what is going on. As CPC Financial Regulations say:

2.10. The RFO shall, without undue delay, bring to the attention of all councillors any correspondence or report from internal or external auditors. 

I wrote to the External Auditors on Monday 10th July 2017 about the council breaking the law.

I received the following reply:

Thank you for your email. From the information that you have provided, the Council has not complied with the statutory requirement to approve and publish Sections 1 and 2 of the Annual Return before 3 July. It has further failed to make proper provision during the year 2017/18 for the exercise of public rights. These points will both be reported in our external auditor report on the Annual Return.

We will be contacting the Council to inform them of these issues. Your name will not be used in the correspondence.

CPC got the Annual Return up on the afternoon of 10th July 2017. Therefore the External Auditors contacted the Council. As it says the RFO shall, without undue delay, bring to the attention of all councillors any correspondence....

I hope John Vickery has informed all Councillors what has gone on.
