Dear Jane Clayton,

Thank you for your letter dated 11th April 2011, What CAB can do for Councillors.

I witnessed Oakham Town Council agree £5,000 funding and Exton Parish Council agree £50 funding for Rutland CAB based in Oakham. Both highly significant sums of money and neither recognised in your published accounts.

I question the need for you too provide lunch for Councillors on June 7th. Quite frankly I am fed up seeing fat councillors getting fatter on free lunches paid for by the hard working local tax payers.

Oakham town councillors gave the CAB £5,000 for the valuable service you give those who desperately need your service, not to fatten up councillors.

What does it cost to feed upto 26 Councillors? If you have this money spare please donate to a worthy charity instead.

yours sincerely

Martin Brookes
