The Old School Oakham

If you are a member of the old school here in Oakham you can do as you please!


If your not then don't complain, about how they treat you.

Once again Rutland County Council are complaining about the cost incurred to investigate complaints.

Rutland Radio News promotes the councils case.

Last year complaints cost around £7,000 to investigate.

What are Rutland County Council suggesting? don't complain?

I know four complaint against me are to be investigated.

I don't know the nature of the complaints.

It appears to cost Rutland County Council so much not to inform me.

I do know the public have a right to complain.

Forget the cost, if we need to consider this then we should be looking at the overpaid officers at Rutland County Council.

We could surely cut costs there.




Also if you are also a member of Oakham's old school you can park where you like in Oakham.

It can be on a grave, all day in a one hour bay or you could abuse a blue badge or residents permit the choice is yours.

I received a complaint from a member of the public concerning a local business man who is well known friend of Rutland County Council members. (Estate Agent)

The complainant asked why is this man allowed to park his cars in a one hour space all day?

I approached a traffic officer outside the post office, he had just walked past a smart looking car with a private plate, parked in the pedestrian zone!

I gave him details of all the Estate agents cars and asked him to pass on the details of the complaint to his manager.

He replied I am the manager and to my surprise he said he knew about the cars and it was being dealt with.

Last week the member of the public contacted and thanked me and let me know one of the cars had been issued with a ticket in Mill Street.

I wonder if this ticket was just for show and the offender will be refunded in due course.

I question why they were ignored for over a year before.

I think it is only fair to treat all motorist the same.

Cllr Fillingham used to abuse a blue badge until I photographed her car parked illiegaly. She now uses a residents permit to park in residents spaces outside Wilkinson. Why does she need the resident permit when she owns a garage and off street parking?

Rutland County Council said they will investigate. I guess she will be given another type of permit to abuse very soon!
