Oakham Town Council Meeting Agenda 9th February 2022 (No supporting documents)
I received a communication from Oakham Town Council they state it is not currently their policy to publish recordings of meetings on their website. Oakham Town Council stopped complying with the law to do so in 2019.
I assume it is no longer within their policy to publish past agenda and minutes as they have also failed to comply with that law since 2019.

Recordings up to 2019 can be found on the contact page of the website?

The agenda for the last meeting was not published, this weeks has been published without the supporting documents.
