A floodlight will soon be fitted at Oakham Skate park.
In return the young people have promised to refrain from using the store front of Tesco late night.
Oakham Town Council is funding the installation and asked the young people to raise £100 towards the cost.
Cllr Lucas was disappointed with the way in which they raised the funds and felt PC Lloyd had incorrectly influenced this.
Cllr Alf Dewis was also disappointed I felt he would had preferred it if the young people had cleaned out Oakham sewers.
Cllr Adam Lowe does not agree, he said the young people have only done what they would have done and applied for a grant.
I suppose they could have opened a few gardens and raised around £80
Instead they were awarded a grant of £100 from the local police BCU Fund.
The purpose of the police BCU Fund:
· Tackling anti-social behaviour and disorder.
· Reducing volume, street, drugs related, violent and gun crime in line with local and national targets.
· Combating serious and organised crime operating across force boundaries.
· Increasing the number of offences brought to justice.
