Oakham Town Council Co-option
Cllr Alf Dewis proposed there be no co-option due to the process of advertising and selection, this would only give the new Cllr three months before election in May.
Cllr Lucas suggested if anyone wanted to be a councillor they can jolly well stand and be elected and not co-opted.
I am sure that went down well with the majority of the co-opted member that includes the Mayor?
There has been a lack of interest in both Oakham Town Council and Rutland County Council long before I moved here.
I love the way RCC members legally get nominated in more than one ward and then withdraw at the last moment from contested seats or gamble on a seat they feel sure they will win. Is that real loyalty to your voters?
