Cllr Alf Dewis Oakham Mayor Resigns Due to unlawful conduct revealed in Grant Thornton Audit Report

The Mayor of Oakham today resigned with immediate effect.

Cllr Alf Dewis refers to unlawful conduct as a mistake and has reimbursed the council
a token sum of money minus VAT and auditing costs.

The unlawful expenditure occurred during the 2014 - 2015 financial year.

There are other similar financial anomalies for the current financial year.

The auditors are aware of these irregularities but I feel it would not be in the public
interest to object to these anomalous transactions bearing in mind thousands of pounds
that have already been spent on auditors and accountants fees.


I am pleased Mr Dewis has finally done the honorable thing and resigned and admitted
the error of his way in the face of incontrovertible evidence.

I shall not miss his destructive and controlling behaviour which both I and the town have
suffered since 2009
