Oakham Town Council Dedication and Commitment

Oakham Town Council Dedication and Commitment



Since the last full Oakham Town Council meeting, I have
been attempting to get Oakham Town Council to comply
with new local government law that states there should
be no hidden documents at meetings. Everything should
be made available to the public.

At the last meeting the chairman referred to a pink pack
which contained application letters from co-option
candidates and undisclosed other information.

The Town Clerk has written to me stating no documents
were distributed at the meeting. So they can not provide
me with anything.

The Video evidence is very clear, the chairman refers
to the distributed pack and asks members to refer to
the content when making up their mind who to vote
for.

I raised the issue with a councillor and received the
text shown above. I admire their commitment to 
the role of Councillor! 

I think this confirms what I have said for a long
time Town Councillor are only rubber stamping
and don't really care about our town.
