Oakham Town Council Unlawful Co-option of Mr Vincent Howard Town Council Letters procedures were flawed.
I must point out even though these letters are signed on behalf of Cllr Jayne Woodcock
the Mayor she was not present at the meeting in which the law was broken this fell
to her deputy Cllr Alf Dewis. Who permitted the law to be broken and permitted
Mr Vincent Howard to sign his papers after the council broke the law.
The council claims that it has had advice basically telling them because they corrected
what they described as flawed procedure Mr Howard is lawfully co-opted.
If Leicestershire Police do bring this before a Judge I don't believe he or she would
agree with that advice. It is very clear the law was broken and Mr Vincent signed his papers
at this point making his co-option unlawful.
The Council letter sent to me show a poor attempt by Cllr Dewis to cover up the
fact as Deputy Mayor he led the council to break the law.
The lies he is telling people and his demands that an untrue record is recorded in
the minutes tonight proves he is unfit for public office.
The first letter I received apparently is a mistake, the council states the "final decision was
procedurally flawed" I agree with that and their Video recording of events shows that to
be the case, In the second letter the council says that is a mistake and only the first part
is flawed. They are wrong because of this, their own standing order:
12 Rescission of Previous Resolutions
a. A resolution (whether affirmative or negative) of the Council shall not be
reversed within 6 months except either by a special motion, the written notice
whereof bears the names of at least half of the members of the Council, or by a
motion moved in pursuance of the report or recommendation of a committee.
b. When a special motion or any other motion moved pursuant to Standing Order
12 (a) above has been disposed of, no similar motion may be moved within a
further 6 months.

The problem with dishonest people like Cllr Dewis is they can never get their story
straight. As shown in these letters.
Oakham Town Council have today told be they have another on the same subject
for me which I will collect later.
