Oakham Town Council Christmas Lights 2013 Post Office
The lights are on at the post office the high street have not yet been switched
on.
I did some quick searches on the internet and I am was able to find the quantity
of lights used at the post office at a retail price less than £100. Imagine what the
cost or trade price is for these lights, I am sure it would be correct to say that
the company providing the lights is making a huge profit out of the people of
Oakham.
On Sunday I spoke to the subcontractors and asked why Stamford Town Council gets a
better deal from the same company for the same costs.
I am told that is the councils fault, I agree the clerk is trained or capable of getting
a god deal for anything the Town Council purchases, or is just the case he can't be bothered?
after all he did once say its the councils job to collect the taxes and spend it as they please!
I think people will notice a slight improvement along the high street this year as the council
has purchased some feature lights for lamp posts.
