Salford council has been criticised over the loan to Swinton Lions
The town hall paid Swinton Lions £100,000 in March after being made aware that the club was in danger of having "cash flow" problems. But Salford Conservative Group said it was not told about the payment, and notice of the decision was not made public.
He added: "We were not notified of the first loan and we should have been in my opinion. Why was it being hidden? There was no decision notice. The normal protocol is that there is a decision notice even if technically it is not needed. Salford Conservatives could 'call in' the council's second £100,000 loan to the club, meaning it would face further scrutiny before being agreed.
"A further loan of a similar amount with guarantees has subsequently been discussed, as well as a revised repayment plan which would cover both tranches.
