Cllr Maureen Dodds one of the oldest Council Member present
newly elected Mayor Sharon Spencer with the Chain of Office.
Assistant Clerk Alison, Chairman Sharon Spencer, and
the new Deputy Cllr Mark Woodcock
At the AGM Cllr Sharon Spencer was elected to serve as a new Mayor and Chairman.
We both met privately last night and agreed to start afresh to try and sort the mess the Town Council is at the moment. Cllr Mark Woodcock was elected Deputy Mark is a very hard working family man and has always treated me fairly and with respect. I am looking forward to working with them both.
It was a very special moment for Sharon and her mother Mrs Spencer. Sharon recalled her father was a former deputy and he had always hoped to serve the town as the Mayor/chairman. Sadly ill health prevented this. I am sure he would have been very proud of Sharon.
As normal the meeting was tarnished by the bullies Cllr Charles Haworth and especially Cllr Alf Dewis who constantly goads me.
He found it amusing to ask a member of the public to prop open a fire door with a fire extinguisher. Only to say I was joking. Mr Dewis who is a employment consultant for Rutland County Council finds the Health and Safety of Oakham Town Council funny? The Fire and Health and Safety at Work act is No joke Mr Dewis!
At the end of the meeting Mr Dewis succeeded in provoking a angry reaction from me.
He quietly stated letters I photo copied earlier in the day to leave with the Assistant Clerk was an act of theft.
The Police officer present asked us both to behave because he would rather be assisting a fellow officer who was involved in a fight along Cold Overton Road.
Mr Dewis has a history of bullying he of course bullied a sick member of staff at Rutland County Council and was forced to resign after the Council lost a lot of money which was awarded by the tribunal to the former member of staff. It beggars belief this thugs services are employed by the very same council now.
