Moore Stephens, the external auditor, has sent a Statement of Facts to the council to determine under what terms the hall has been run since its purchase which will determine how the income and expenditure will be accounted for. All the items had been extracted from council documents. The council were asked to comment on the Statement.
There were two queries:
Did Mr Spooner have a continuous Chairmanship since May 1990?
Mr Spooner told Cllr Davies in August 2008 and not May 2008 that the hall lease had not been signed. Once the queries were answered, the clerk was asked to reply to Moore Stephens.
