Rutland County Councils Gluttire

While local councillors and Senior executives at the council make hard working people redundant, the extensive cuts don't seem to have any impact on their lifestyle.

If you pop into to Tesco Oakham on a Sunday the store is awash with district councillors and town councillors.

The photograph below shows one councillors second trolley.


I would like to point out this was not Cllr Peter Jones or Oakham Mayor Cllr Sharon Spencer shopping.

I will point out Cllr Sharon Spencer nearly let slip a smile, but very quickly changed it to a look of oh! dear! I have just stood in two piles of shit!

While on the subject of cuts a special note for the three council officers who monitor my blog.

Why is a keen cyclist and chief executive Helen Briggs paid £9,000 car allowance? when she only lives in walking distance of her office. Can I suggest it is taken away and the money used to save a job cut! Mrs Briggs could use the pool car, I know its ugly but it is practical. Is £119,000 a year not enough to buy her own car?

(for the Oakham Town Councillor who may not understand Gluttire its Latin, The English word is gluttany)
