If this leaflet is required then it should be produced by the clerk or the admin assistant
or the Clerk. Not Cllr Joyce Lucas.
No one asked the Councillor to produce the leaflet, if she had asked the councils consent
she would not need to keep moaning that she had to pay for it.
There are plenty of leaflet templates available to the office so agree with Cllr Lucas
it is something that could be produced in house.
We recently obtained a very expensive printer.
The leaflet that Cllr Lucas produce is a jumble and has information that is not
required included.
All the required information about council members is posted less than a couple
metres away in a notice board from where councillor Lucas wishes to display
the leaflets.

Report Author(s): Joyce Lucas BEM Title Councillor
Subject: Know Your Councillor leaflets
Applicable Strategies:
Provide development for Councillors to enable them to skillfully and effectively fulfil their role.
Aim
To bring more openness and transparency for OTC Members and the General Public.
Background
For many years (circa 2005) I have formatted and produced, at my own expense a trifold-leaflet
as per sample.
The last eighteen months have been turbulent times for OTC and the leaflet was out of date
before I even printed the next one. However, I produced one May/June 2017. This was promptly
taken from the shelves in the foyer and I was told I must submit a report.
It has been suggested that it is printed professionally by Quoin Print. I deem this as a total
waste of public money as it can be achieved ‘in house’ by OTC staff. Only ten/twenty copies
need to be printed at any one time before they become out of date.
For consideration
That Cllr Lucas will give the format to OTC for reproducing as and when they are needed.
That all email addresses are included.
That each subsequent leaflet is dated and printed on different colour paper each time to signify
a‘re-print’
