Oakham Town Council Planning Sub Committee Report 10th February 2015
Video to follow:
Cllr Stan Stubbs created this appalling committee, He claims to know what he is
doing and often says he is trained in planning. This is the way we did it down
south, Yes down south we only have to read the press and the county standards
reports to see how he did things down south.
If all he says is true he would know each planning applications are decided on their
own merit. If a planning application is approved or rejected it can not and
does not set a precedence, as he suggested at this meeting. One of the applications
was rejected because it would set a precedence.
The committee is run like a dictatorship. No other councillor can contribute
towards any application that might effect their ward, unless they are one of the
lucky four who run this committee, Councillors who are not members of the
committee have to attend, join in with a three minute public deputation,
At Oakham Town Council people are only permitted three minutes in total so that
becomes a serious issue if a councillor or resident wants to speak about
more than one item. At Rutland County Council it is five minutes for each item.
Cllr Stubbs mentioned previously down south no members of the public
ever attended parish meetings and expressed irritation that members
of the public do attend at times here in Oakham.
This annoyance was very clear before this meeting I was talking to Councillor
Walters and the Obnoxious Cllr Stubbs interrupted and said "don't tell us what
to do" Cllr Stubbs has no understanding of a role of a Councillor, they are not
meant to dictate instruction upon their community they are meant to serve it.
A councillor who is not a member of this committee can not call applications
to full council for consideration.
At this meeting the committee made up of Cllrs Stubbs, Howard, Walters and Nowell
had to appoint a new chairman since the resignation of Cllr Leanne Martin.
Cllr Stan Stubbs had clearly broken all the rules and codes of conduct that
cover canvassing and predetermination.
He arrived for the meeting and placed his name card at the chairman's seat.
This was spotted by the assistant clerk Alison Greaves who suggested he
was being little premature, his name was removed and he slimed his way
back to a members chair.
This committee has no fixed timetable or time to hold meetings and
occur at a time and date to suit the membership and not the public.
Yesterday's meeting was held at the convenient time of 2pm.
The meeting also lasted at lot longer than normal due mainly to the long periods of
silence.
