Oakham Town Council Budget 2014 - 2015

Oakham Town Council have still not finalised their budget.

Cllrs Stan Stubbs and Rob Guthrie are against any increase of the council precept.

Cllr Alf Dewis would like to see a 1% increase which would not equate to much
for the tax payer.

The Mayor Cllr Adam Lowe said he agreed they should make a small increase
as the town council is likely to take on more responsibilities and be more respected
by the community???

Cllr Lockett and Cllr Dodds would like to see a increase as it would be nice to
bump up the councils reserves.

There were no further details given at the meeting this was blamed on a computer
glitch.
