Rutland County Council Responds To Private Eye Article


Rutland County Council Responds To Private Eye Article

A number of residents have contacted the council following the recent publication of an article in Private Eye magazine.

The article covers a number of issues, but enquiries received by the council this week focus on a decision taken by Full Council in October 2012.

At this meeting, 21 Councillors* voted unanimously to “organise an independent report on the actions of the Rutland Anti-Corruption Party”.  The three members of this political group are Councillors Richard Gale, David Richardson and Nick Wainwright.
All 21 Councillors* also voted to support the following statement: “That the Chief Executive and senior officers be congratulated on the professional way in which they conduct Rutland County Council business and that the Council has every confidence in them.”
