Rutland High Sheriff's Certificate of Service to the Community
Nominations for Rutland High Sheriff's Certificate of Service to the Community.
The above matter was due to be discussed at tonight's Oakham Town Council meeting.
I am told, this has now been deferred to a meeting later this month.
I have just been informed, a public petition has been handed into Oakham Town Council this morning and two others are circulating.
We, the undersigned, should like to nominate Martin Brookes for his services to the community of Oakham and Rutland. His pictures of places of local interest, coverage of current affairs at local Council meetings, his commitment to transparency and accountability in matters of local government and his coverage of events in the area, like the last flight of the Harriers and the Oakham Festival, even the litter problem, have helped to bring Oakham and Rutland into the public eye and ensured that a more professional ethos exists in local government.
I personally don't approve of this certificate, what gives a councillor the right to judge any member of the community?
How do they decide who is better,
Town Councillor Joyce Lucas opens here garden for good causes and raised £50 and is likely to hold a book sale to raise fund for the Mayors charity as she has been to busy supporting those who bully and intimidate me to raise much this year.
The previous mayor only raised the same amount as her allowance
Volunteers daily drive the sick to hospital, a service provided by Voluntary Action Rutland.
Support Workers,
Samaritans befriending service,
the CAB,
People Wash up and Cook at the drop in centre,
People who shop for elderly, the list could goes on.
Oakham Town Council can not be trusted to decide after Cllr Dodds woke up at the last meeting and asked can I nominate a friend.
Most people do a lot of good in our community and dont want to be seen in the local paper each week.
Of course in most towns people would rely on the local press to help decide something like this.
But we don't have a free press here in Oakham.
I hope the Rutland Times will remember election rules during the months up to the election, when editing the columns they have recently given to Town County Councillors desperate to hold on to power.
