Pleased to see Oakham Town Council is now complying with the law and once again publishing its agendas. The Clerk is incapable of doing basic online tasks so a member of the council is now updating the website. When will the town council employ a clerk who is honest and capable of completing such basic tasks a clerk is paid to do?
I wonder why item 16 has to be exempt when the Trustees of Victoria hall have been told and made this public. Has Oakham Town Council forgotten it is meant to serve the residents of Oakham and it is spending our money on this costly project.
