Oakham Town Council Election Nominations No Election for Oakham Voters

Oakham Town Council Election Nominations No Election for Oakham Voters

12 seats 7 nominations, Two for me. Is this a sign of what the residents really think about Oakham Town Council?

Many people I speak to say what is the point of Oakham Town Council.

It cost so much of their money. I will do my best to reduce the extravagant spending and try and get future council tax bills cut.

Is it time for this council to be dissolved?

Councillor Dewis says its no longer the old boys club, so what is its purpose?

I am concerned the council won't be able to function with 6 councillor, no disrespect to those who have failing health due to age or other issues, what will happen when there is not a quorum due to their ill health.

Councillor Haworth has not been well recently he has been seen staggering around Tesco unshaved, filling his basket with pot noodles and benefiting from Coca Cola's buy 2 get free 2 offer.

I suspect some people may be waiting to be co-opted preferring to take the easier route into the council. Like ex Councillor Paul Beech I don't support co-opting. I will vote against any co-option.

I am disappointed there is no election. I  will do my best to stop a few people squandering public money.
