Carolyn Cartwright Conservative Uppingham By-Election

Carolyn Cartwright Conservative certainly would not get my vote.

I am not saying she is not a nice woman.

In fact it shocks me to find, she is a Rutland Tory.

Carolyn Cartwright was until recently employed by Rutland County Council as a senior planning officer.

She made a pigs ear of the Jeakins Weir appeal and one of her staff cracked under cross examination.

I assume this means Conservatives Roger Begy and Terry King felt if she was to be elected they will be able to comfortably control her.

Would this not also be a cosy relationship? for one Rutland County Councils worst performing departments Planning?

Most of the other only perform well because they are contracted out to other councils such as Peterborough City Council, Northampton, Corby and Leicester to name a few.
