CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
To decide whether to agree to additional expenditure within the budget for a “switch on” of the
Town’s Christmas illuminations.
Oakham Town Council a “switch on” of the Town’s Christmas illuminations.
This was approved by Councillors
No details or plans for activities surrounding this appeared to prepared.
Members agreed to spend £500 for the switch on.
The two members of the promotion of Oakham Group objected to the expenditure.
Cllr Lucas rather more aggressively stating it was a complete waste of tax payers
money for the council to spend £500 for a 30 second event. An extraordinary outburst,
I can only assume she has not been asked to join the choir or be involved in any of the
planning.
Cllr Lucas and Cllr Lowe over the years have wasted more than £500 of tax payers
money on booze at their past events.
I personally have attended Stamford Christmas light switch on and this has always
been fun and attracts hundred of people into the town.
Surely if planned correctly £500 is not a lot of money to spend.
Its a great shame they don't look a little more carefully at the larger expenses that could be
cut, Hanging baskets and Staff just to point out a couple of very wasteful things.
