Cllr Lucy Stephenson (Con) Uppingham Appointed to The Tory Cabinet at Rutland Council

Cllr Lucy Stephenson (Con) Uppingham Appointed to The Tory Cabinet at Rutland Council

After kicking off former Tory Plews, Council leader Roger Begy claimed the change was to
streamline and cut cabinet costs.

Now Cllr Lucy Stephenson has been appointed the cost to the tax payers in reinstated.
Of course she may have listened to MP Alan Duncan on Rutland Radio at New Year
when he said we should all be grateful for our Councillors at the council who volunteer
their time. I am not sure where you can find voluntary work that pays?

Cllr Plews ranted at the last meeting in December about the lack of representation
for  Oakham and Uppingham within the cabinet Cllr Begy responded with some normal
dribble about if a councillor at county level was concerned about Town issues they should
become a town Councillor or join the town partnership.


Cllr Gene Plews are Tory in Exile

Cllr Plews responded by suggesting the council was run by a  Military junta.


Roger Begy Left

The Tory Leader "dictator" whatever he is must have listened.

I wonder if Cllr Plews is
planning a coups d'état

Could be an interesting year for Rutland Politics, I think  not!
