who d you complain to about the town councils clerk.

Question

If you can prove that the Town Clerk is not doing her job properly and going against town councillors wishes who do you complain to.

Answer 1

The Town Clerk is an employee of the Town Council and any concerns relating to her efficiency or competence are matters for her employer, having due regard to any contract of employment and other employment rules and regs.
