Photographic Display Victoria Hall Foyer Organised by Cllr Enid Joyce Lucas BEM Rutland 20 Years

Photographic Display Victoria Hall Foyer Organised by Cllr Enid Joyce Lucas BEM

Mrs Lucas will be presenting an exhibition of photographs of the last 20 years.

The exhibition will be open all day 1st April 2017 at Victoria Hall Oakham High Street.





Saturday 1st April 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of Rutland regaining its status as an independent county and the formation of Rutland County Council as a unitary authority. Rutland was a district of Leicestershire from 1974 until 1997, regaining its independent status only after a long-running campaign by local councillors, residents and communities.


Cllr Lucas is quite old and is one of three people who are still alive who formed part of
the original new Rutland County Council 20 years ago.
