A question to the Town Meeting on Investors in People.

In 2008/09 Forward Plan there was a commitment to the employees of the Town Council over training and obtaining the Investors in People status.

I therefore asked the following question:

Did the Council achieve "Investors in People" in 2009?

The answer the Town Council gave was:

"To the best of my knowledge, the council has not yet applied for "Investors in People".

So the Town Council didn't even seek to achieve this status. Can we trust what the Town Council says? I feel this must be NO!
