Oakham Fun Day What a load of Rubbish Rutland Times and Cllr Alf Dewis

Reading today's report in the Rutland Times about  Sundays Fun Day here in Oakham, you would
think the paper was writing about another town.

Once again we are treated to a page of non journalistic propaganda provided by Cllr Alf Dewis, Chairman of Oakham Town Partnership and Oakham Mayor.

Cllr Dewis would have trouble giving the correct time if you were to ask him such a simple question.

Rutland Times: A range of activities were held at Cutts Close and about 20 shops in Oakham extended their opening hours as part of a trial scheme to attract more people to the town on Sundays.

There were 9 additional shop openings.

You don't have to look far from the Rutland Times to find the truth about the day.

The traders have their own Facebook page and here is an example of their view of the day.and Twitter was not much better.

There were only 3 shops open along the high street and the two in Gaol Street closed at 1.00pm

So come of it Rutland Times and Cllr Dewis who are you trying to fool?

The Quoin Print Co Ltd, Oakham, Rutland

How was trading yesterday? Who opened up?
