Oakham Town Partnership, Refuse to Run, Live@museum, Cinema, Theatre and shows, Roger Begy says They want to be paid
Rutland County Council decided to close the loss making Live@museum
Former Tory Councillor Peter Jones put up a good fight in the form of a public deputation
to save the project from the axe.
The Council has invested heavily in this project and it all appears to be wasted.
There were calls for volunteers to run it
Cllr Gale proposed the council set aside £10,000
Tory Leader Roger Begy said no one would work for that amount of money.
I would it is a lot more than JSA. I wrote to him and his fellow Councillor and
explained those of us in the real world would happily work for a sum much greater
than JSA
Deputy Tory Leader Terry King spoke claiming the project was a Oakham
project not a county one. Mr Jones and Beech repeatedly rubbish to what
he was saying and I agree.
Mr Begy mentioned the young peoples Saturday morning cinema might be saved
He said he was knowledgeable when it came to Arts as he was on the Arts Council
(no comment)
He went on to say he did not know what a cover band was until Mr Jones told him
(I think he means tribute)
To cut a long story the Council now does nothing for the Arts Culture
They can not afford £10,000 for this, but they can afford £8,000 for
a worthless Bevan Brittan report
Roger Begy added Oakham Town Partnership where asked if they could run it
and he said they refused but would consider ir if they were paid
