Oakham Town Council, Planning, Parks, committee meeting, 24th October 2012
At various points of the meeting and when they departed a
member of the public interrupted the meeting. No members grunted or groaned or
demand his removal and no suggestion of calling the police, a gross example of
the councils unfair conduct towards me.
The sencond point of interest to me is no member of the public turned up for the Sainsbury planning application, I can only assume they did not find Cllr Lucas's performance chairing the meeting at the time of the last last application as funny as I did. Stupidy and farce would be the kindest way to describe that meeting, which was well attended by the public.
Cllr Lockett reported to members about the recent Rutland Access Group survey
and the issues found.
Such as car parking in front of dropped kerbs.
Many of the dropped curbs throughout Oakham were not low enough for wheel chair users.
I had to ask for the month as only said the Festival will be held for the 21st - 30th leaving put June form her non informative report.
Cottesmore Hunt
Requested to use Cutts Close on Boxing Day. This was approved
with conditions to clean up.
Cllr Lucas said the main reason she objected was not due to
the horse mess and blamed spectators with dogs who did not clean up dog mess.
The Cottemsmore Hunt rejected the market place as a
alternative venue, stating it was to small. Clearly not an issue in Uppingham
which also has a small market square used for their meetings.
Oakham Town Council rejected Sainsbury's planning application. Cllr Lucas was very keen to point out it was not for personal reasons and those of her residents. Most of her reason remained the
Cllr Lockett called for a long term project to place a rail
bridge instead of the crossing, but recognised costs might be an issue.
