Oakham Town Council Parks and Planning Committee 25th February 2015, Video
Oakham Town Council meeting Oakham Mayor and Deputy Mayor Cllrs Woodcock
and Dewis both absent.
Cllr Alan Walters was late.
The Clerk has decided to go off sick on full pay once again.
Cllr Stubbs suggest if a planning application was approved the value of Cllr Adam
Lowes house would go up.
Cllr Joyce Lucas revealed a secret she does not want anyone to know until she is
dead. That is one of the benches behind the library was given by her when she
was Mayor, she said it does not have a plaque because she did not want anyone
to know she gave it?
Benches featured twice on the agenda, Cllr Lucas said there is nothing wrong
with the benches in town, despite this she gained approval to replace a number of
benches over the next five years, such wanton waste! Just because she feels
all the benches in the town should be uniformed. Which is rather a daft thing for
her to say because she pointed out the benches outside the library belong to
Rutland County Council. These are different from any of the other benches
as is the one she donated and the Oakham in Bloom memorial bench will
she also dispose of them?
The replacements will include the removal a disposal of the 1977 Queens Silver Jubilee bench
outside the CAB, Cllr Lucas said the plaque should be be removed and put on
the new bench. Daft!
Talking about daft, the newly co-opted Cllr David Blanksby put on a poor show and
caused Councillors to smile. Rather bizarrely the new councillor referred to as
Dave does not know where Flores House is in Oakham. It is one of the
town oldest buildings just a few steps across the road from the Council office.
He did try to get of to a fine start. As normal Cllr Stan Stubbs attempted to impose
Oakham Town Council opt out of consultation policy whenever the Town Council
is consulted by Rutland County Council and asked for comments on anything that
is more than one page long, they always say they will comment as individual members
although they never do.
At one point in the meeting the councillors laughed uncontrollably at a application
from the owner of the Admiral Hornblower.
