Oakhham town council refuse to support Oakham citizens advice bureau

Even some of rutlanda smallest parish councils  grant money to an essential service such as the rutland citizens advice bureau.
Oakham town council turned  down this years grant application from the citizens advice bureau.
The reason given was insufficient funds were available.
Perhaps if they had not given  out the bulk of the funds to  orgnaizations run by councillors and friends. They might have had some remaining to fund this very important public service.
Of course the recent benefit changes and housing changes don't affect the elite who made  those decisions and they clearly won't be requiring the services of the citizens advice bureau.
So once again oakham town council show how out of touch it is with the community as is splashes out on hundreds of hanging baskets 4 oakham in bloom and other non essential activities.
