===== I therefore respectfully request that the Council: =====
# Clarify whether the 2022–2023 AGAR was properly approved, and by whom.
# Publish or republish the AGAR, internal audit report, and public rights notice for 2022–2023.
# Write to the external auditor (BDO LLP) requesting guidance on how to regularise any procedural errors.
# Consider carrying out a simple internal review of financial reporting and record-keeping for 2022–2023.
# Issue a public explanation, so residents understand what happened and what steps are being taken to resolve any gaps in lawful governance.

This is a non-partisan concern, and an opportunity for the new Council to show it is committed to transparency, lawful process, and public accountability. I welcome your response and would be happy to assist in any way that supports resolution and trust.

Yours sincerely,
Ed Surridge
Shalfleet Parish Resident
