Can we trust any of these Conservative Rutland County Councillors?
My Councillor Conservative Gene Plews wrote to the Rutland Times in his letter he says:
"As one of the Conservative councillors for the Oakham South East town centre ward, I also voted in favour of the Sainsbury’s supermarket planning application when it came to a full council meeting, as did my Conservative ward colleague Jonathon Munton".
The issue here for me is Jonathon Munton was not a councillor at the time of the vote and probably at that time he had not even thought of becoming one.
I remember meeting Mr Munton durring the election campaign and he appeared to know as much or less than I did about being a Councillor. Seemed a nice chap for a Rutland Conservative. Although he is the County Councillor for the ward I am a town councillor and live, our paths have never crossed since.
Conservative Councillor Gene Plews is one of the more traditional Rutland Conservatives who clearly can't get his stories straight, I expect we will see him again in our ward at the next elections.
