Cottesmore Hunt Request To Use Cutts Close Oakham To Be Considered by Oakham Town Council

Cottesmore Hunt Request To Use Cutts Close Oakham To Be Considered by Oakham Town Council






































Block approval wishful thinking?

The request has always been considered annually perhaps because
Councillors come and go and due to the political nature of this
event white washed with the name of charity fund raising.

It is quite a spectacle mainly pompous Tories on horseback down
a few drinks, smoking the odd fag whilst their hounds peeing and pooping
all over the area designated for family recreation.

Their supporters cars often parked and damaging our grass verges,
once prominently displayed stickers "Bollocks to Blair"

Some people try to tell me the event is not political I disagree because the
huntmaster often gives a short speech which is highly political.

I will vote against permission being granted.

In the past the Marketplace has been suggested as an alternative. I am
told the owners refused to consider any request.
