“Northallerton Mysteries”

Questions arising include:

1. Why have four of the senior councillors all resigned within the last year?
2. Why have there been no published minutes of the Town Council’s meetings displayed for public view since December of last year?
3. Why are committee meetings being advertised on both the Council’s own website and its Facebook page – but again with no minutes to view?
4. Why are there links to attend e-meetings of the Council – that do not allow public access?
5. Where can residents view details of last year’s NATC finances?
6. Where is the Clerk? (I have been led to believe that she is currently suspended – and has been for the majority of the last year? Is this a reason for the lack of transparency currently being displayed by the Council?)
7. How much is the Clerk’s suspension costing the tax payers of Northallerton if it really is the case that she is currently suspended?
8. Where are the other office staff who, according to the website, would include the Deputy Clerk and the Admin Assistant? (Neither of whom, like the Clerk, would appear to be currently at work, either?)

Sincerely,
