Oakham Town Council appointed three representatives to the Town Partnership
I was grateful to the council for appointing me.
Sadly five members of the partnership don't agree with my appointment
and after disagreement among other members they partnership decided
to hold some sort of farcical interview of the town Councillors.
The partnership constitution does not permit this.
This morning the chairman of the partnership told me I would not be
accepted onto the partnership something which they cant do. She said
if I was to join the partnership then five members would resign and the
partnership would collapse an strange comment to make and suggests
the majority remaining members are not competent to take on the
running of the partnership.
