Oakham Town Council Clerk to Spend £2,500 on play area Cllr Lucas suffers senior moment "waste of money"

Oakham Town Council Clerk to Spend £2,500 on park Cllr Lucas suffers senior moment "waste of money"

Oakham Town Councils Clerk conducted an audit of Royce Recreation Ground
and despite there being 5 benches facing the play area the Clerk decided that
the play area requires another two benches, welcome signs and new dog poo bins.

There are two new benches also included in the new toddlers play area.

Cllr Lucas and Lockett voted against the expenditure. After the vote Cllr Lucas suffered one of her
more frequent senior moments. She rather angrily said "waste of money" now I cant understand why
the other members did not vote to exclude her from the meeting at this point?

I think the Clerk has a thing going with the suppliers of these benches he was stopped earlier this
year from ripping out perfectly good benches from Cutts Close. Although this could all change
as he is proposing an audit of Cutts Close very soon.
