When I was a Councillor I was asked not to blog this but now I can.
It shows a total lack of team work and support from members of the corporate body known as Oakham Town Council.
Cllr Swiffin has been ill and it is public knowledge his suffers from mobility issues.
Cllr Swiffin has not been able to attend any the last two council meetings because he can not afford the taxi fare from his home to and from the meetings.
His absence is recorded as sickness.
Why can't any of the councillors who drive by his home from their short distances not give the man a lift to meetings.
One Cllr told me I don't wan't that in my car.
Cllr Dewis speeds up and down that road, yes! Cllr Dewis, Cold Overton Road is 20 mph
Cllr Lucas could fit him in her van.
Why not?
Of course Cllr Swiffin could save cash by buying his bread in bulk instead of sending a taxi out for each loaf purchased from Croft Bakery
