I was listening to an executive council session, when councillors mentions they had an interest in Optalis and would not vote. I did some research and found Optalis Holdings Ltd is a company owned by WBC and RBWM councils who's directors are councillors, and these directors from time to time resign and are replaced.
1. I would like to know which councillors have benefited from a directorship in a wholly or partly owned company of Wokingham Borough Council, and
The information in relation to the Non-Executive Directors and their terms of office can be found by looking up the relevant company and clicking on the “People” tab, using the following link: https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company
The list of relevant companies is as follows:
Optalis Holdings Ltd
WBC (Holdings) Ltd
Wokingham Housing Ltd
Loddon Homes Ltd
Berry Brook Homes Ltd
2. How much remuneration was paid?
The remuneration that has been paid to each Councillor in their role as a Non-Executive Director can be found for each year using the following link: https://wokingham.moderngov.co.uk/ecCatDisplay.aspx?sch=doc&cat=13406
Please note that there are some years where no payments are shown and this is due to the fact that in those years Councillors did not take any payment for their roles as Non-Executive Directors.
