The Royal Oak Uppingham Rutland County Council Exempt Document, Pub To Close, Criterion Management. The Wellington Pub Company PLC

The Royal Oak Uppingham Rutland County Council Exempt Document.

Rutland County Council's Development Control Committee met this
evening.

One of the agenda items was from the planning department to seek
an enforcement order against the tenants who run the pub.

I filmed the meeting.

There was an additional Addendum put out for the public on
the press table with agendas.

I was surprised by the content and photographed it.

A very clear breach of confidentiality and evidence that Rutland
County Council has been talking to the property owner as part
of their vendetta against the tenants.

Minutes before the meeting started a council employee came
over and took away the document saying "it had been withdrawn"

During the consideration of the enforcement action Cllr Edward
Baines told Cllrs the document contained exempt material and
they should not publicly refer to it.

During the presentation the case officer, had difficulty describing
a bog standard garden fence panel as a gate.

The council decided it would seek an order for the removal
of barbed wire not the fence panel or gate?

At the end of the meeting some Councillors made comments
and Cllr Edward Baines suggested that the conversations
should be continued at the pub, preferable not The Royal Oak.

Then I was approached by a member of staff , who asked
me if I still had a copy of the document shown below
I said no, but I had photographed it.

By now the dishonest legal officer had joined the conversation.
She said the document had not been withdrawn, I assume
this was a dishonest attempt of damage limitation.
She backed down when I asked why is the council employee
asking for copies and stating it has been withdrawn?

We then discussed the privacy breaches and the alleged
vendetta between the council and tenant of the pub.

Rutland County Council is a utter disgrace, when will
these Tories stop abusing the planning process for their
own continual vendettas?
