Whilst most other councils in the area have spent government money preparing their high streets for the safe return of shoppers, you might have thought Oakham town council would have met to plan for this, perhaps providing hand sanitisers signage and suspension of parking bays etc. None of this has been done. They have decided to put the bunting up.
Since the beginning of this difficult time the town council has done nothing for the community. They have continued to fight each other whilst the Mayor and the Clerk decided how they spend our money on whatever they want.
This has included the costly move to new premises in Long Row, when the suggestion of a move was first considered it was to save us all money. In true Oakham town council fashion the move is costing us all much more, hugely increased rent, business rates, service charges and rent.
The biggest joke is, I am told they are considering using money given to improve and make the high street a safe place for shoppers etc on a free bus service.
I am hoping Oakham Town Council will also open the Public Loos from Monday.
I read on social media how a man was seen crouched down using a bush for a loo one day last week.
