Bandstand Oakham

I approached the bandstand this morning one of the Contractors was very rude towards me.




I asked the question what is going to happen to the wooden hoarding? whilst a worker told me it is going back to the yard the another was rude and suggest I go and buy some from B&Q £8 a Sheet.



I have the following Cllr's questions for the next meeting.



1. Why did the council pay £4000 for this hoarding rather than hire metal wire fencing that is commonly used on most building sites?



2. The contractor said the Town Council can keep the wood, can we keep some to place along the fence near the skate park so the skate park graffiti artists can use them with the young people this summer?



3. Why should the tax payer be expected to pay this sum of money only for the contractor to resell the perfectly good timber?
