Royce Recreation Ground, Oakham Town Council to dip into reserves?

The Clerk is asking members of the Town Council to consider spending £10,000 of the Council's limited reserves.

Royce Recreation Ground had £50,000 spent on it last year and on piece of equipment was vandalised twice
the Council can not afford to have it repaired or replace the loss is around £20,000

Councillors are being asked to consider spending more money on replacing the whole Toddlers play area

He says we underspent £22,000 last year. Earlier this year I said that sum should be returned to the tax payer.
At a meeting we were not it was not really a underspend so what is it?

He has decided considerable effort has been put into find a way to solve the issue with the large vandalised nest swing. Former Mayor Sharon Spencer said that's what he's telling you... meaning?

I don't believe there is no company in this country that can not supply a rope to fix to the existing substantial fittings.

He now indicates the large arched frame, fondly referred to locally as Oakham's Olympic Dome has become redundant. Who is going to pay for its removal, the tax payer of course. Who will benefit from all that lovely new scrap metal that cost the tax payer around £20,000 ??

The Clerk is proposing we also spend around £25,000 on a Multi use games area.

He is requesting we consider budgeting a total of £50,000 for the Royce Recreation Project.

I am sorry to they users vandalised the equipment why should they get new equipment so soon, when residents in my ward have not had a slice of any cake for years. They can not remember the last time the play equipment saw a lick of paint

I also think is to risky to be taking 25% of Council reserve in this present financial climate.
