Oakham Town Councillors Surgery

Oakham Town Councillors Surgery

This weeks Rutland Times had an article which stated Oakham Town Councillors
Adam Lowe and Joyce Lucas were to hold another of their public surgeries.
They ask all resident from all wards to come along and raise concerns.
They constantly fail to report anything to other Councillors.
Some members including myself doubted the numbers they claimed attended,
mainly because after many request for a report of the residents concerns were
ignored. So we decided we wanted to attend their next surgery and make it a joint
event. This was agreed and despite this agreement the two Councillors or the
press made the mistake of producing the article stating only they would be
holding another successful surgery. A number of Cllrs turned out for the 9.00am
start finishing at noon. Not one member of the public attended. I am not sure
if that was due to the advertising frame outside Victoria Hall advertising the
January surgery.
