Somerset County Council has completed an enquiry requested by Cllr David Huxtable, Chair of Somerset County Council's Audit and Resources Scrutiny Sub-Committee, to examine alleged irregularities in Cllr Alan Gloak's expenses. All aspects of the complaint have now been examined by senior Council Officers and no evidence of impropriety or any irregularities by Cllr Gloak have been found.
Cllr David Huxtable said, "The examination into Cllr Gloak's expenses has found no evidence of irregularities. Specifically, in relation to the issue of the parking ticket, Cllr Gloak was not involved in any way in the decision to pay the fine by officers but has decided to reimburse the Council."
Cllr Huxtable added: "The examination of the alleged misconduct has been helpful in highlighting some useful points to further improve the Council's internal processes and officer procedures".
