Daniel Stephen Bottomley (The Conservative Party candidate) a former Town Councillor A good candidate, although I think the party might be a stumbling block. Daniel is ex forces and born here in Oakham.
No Lib Dem Candidate, rather odd you would have thought the would have been tempted to cashing on their latest success and take another seat on the Council.
This is seat is very important to the Conservatives because they now only have a fragile majority.
The surprise is there is a Labour candidate, just when I thought the Rutland and Melton Labour Party had forgotten Rutland. They have not stood candidates in Oakham for years.
Leah Toseland (Labour Party)
