Oakham Town Council Agenda for the Planning Committee scheduled Thursday 20th October 2016

Please don't turn up early because it only causes friction.

Cllr Vince Howard chaiman of the committee is now refusing to open the council chamber before the start of the meeting.
He told us at last weeks full council meeting it is so he can read letter and prepare for the meeting.

Forgetting that NALC's guidance states a council meeting chairman should be in the chamber
in plenty of time before the meeting to welcome the public and members and to answer questions.

In my opinion it is just another power crazed trip, at the last planning subcommittee other councillor
were permitted access via the office. When Cllr Howard did decide to open the door 7 minutes before
2pm I spoke to him and told him it was a chamber for all the silly obnoxious councillor Stubbs asked him to exclude me and he correctly responded the meeting had not started.

If we are lucky we might get three councillor attend to make decisions on behalf of all the council.

Even though the full council voted for a opportunity for other councillors to speak as councillors
at these meetings instead of being called a member of the public and speaking at public deputations the change also included the tree warden and Rutland County Councillors, it appears the change
has not been introduced, I did attempt to raise this issue with Cllr Vince Howard but he seemed
uninterested.
