Following Lobby Day, Essex ALC spoke with MP’s about the issues around banking for local councils and the difficulties in regards to changes with bank mandates under the system, which does not account for the changes in Clerk or Councillor position. MP John Baron understood our frustration and wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak on behalf of the Essex Association, and all local councils across the country.
Please see the attached letter to the Chancellor and subsequent response from HM Treasury to MP John Baron.
