Oakham Town Council has squandered £10,000 welcome back grant due to spending time constraint, Spending included £2500 Jet Washing Victoria Hall and other items including bunting for the Jubilee
Oakham town council received a £10,000 welcome back grant.
They spent £2500 simply jet washing the front of Victoria Hall in the high street. £2500 seem a lot of money just to spray a building with water.
I asked a member of the council what the rest of the money had been spent on and they said bunting for the Jubilee and did not know how the rest of the money has been spent.
Bunting is something the council often buys and includes in its fictional budgets. It often costs more to put up and take down. around £1000 a year.
The finger of blame has been pointed at former councillor Andy Burton, who apparently was tasked with sorting out how the money could have been spent. He apparently did not get on with the task and the council nearly run out of time and would have lost the grant.
Why does Oakham Town Council not consult with the residents it is meant to represent?
Other council have spent the money on events enjoyed by residents and visitors a true welcome back to some sort of normality.

A wonderful afternoon out and helping to raise funds for a good cause. If I forget I fell over hurt my knees and ripped my trousers.
The only thing that annoyed me was some people who had enjoyed the sunflower picking and a ice cream. Felt it was perfectly acceptable to dispose of the plastic container, in the farmers field.
