Complaint Against Oakham Town Council

A member of the public has lodged a complaint against Oakham Town Council.

As normal, this complaint will be swept under the carpet behind closed doors.

The Councillors are highly likely to exclude the public from 3 items on the agenda.

I don't see the need for this lack of openness, but then this is typical of Oakham Town Council.

I wonder which friend of the Clerk or Councillors, will be awarded the contract for the baskets this time around. Now that the former Assistant Clerk is selling her garden centre?
