Dear Andover Town Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Andover Town Council's handling of my FOI request 'Interim Town Clerk'.
I do not accept that the salary range can be withheld under Section 40. A clerk, interim or otherwise is a public official, and as such their salary banding (note, not their exact salary) is an entirely justified request. Furthermore the terms of their appointment, i.e. length of employment, etc etc are also related a public official, and I would argue that it is in the public interest that such arrangements are known and should be made available in the interests of transparency.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i...
Yours faithfully,
Magnus Ponsonby-Talbot

My apologies for the delay in coming back to you. Your request has been investigated and I can give you the following information:
The scale which equates to the Locum Clerk's rate of pay which is within the scale of LC4 (55-62)
There is no contract, the appointment was by resolution of Council and is ongoing until the Council decides they no longer need the services of a Locum Clerk.
