Cllr Charles Haworth, Failing to Represent Oakham Residents, Fails to declare Disclosable Pecuniary Interest.

Oakham Town Councillor Charles Haworth lives near to a proposed development, he said he has a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest relating to plans submitted by Bellway Homes.

Cllr Haworth was once again  told he could remain in the meeting to represent the residents of his ward. He chose not to. Once again letting down the residents of his ward.

The Town Clerk Richard White asked Cllr Haworth to provide his required reason, reason replied "because I live nearby"

That is not a disclosable pecuniary reason.

A member of the public has informed me of their Freedom of Information request asking if
Cllr Haworth is receiving any financial gain from the developer, which would be a Disclosable Pecuniary
Interest.
