A MEETING OF OAKHAM TOWN COUNCIL’S PLANNING AND PARKS COMMITTEE 7.30PM WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 26th 2012 VICTORIA HALL, 39, HIGH STREET, OAKHAM

The next meeting of the Town Councils meeting is Wednesday
I was stopped yesterday and asked if these meetings were public
All Town Council Meetings are open to the public although very few
people attend, something the council enjoys and does its best to stop
me reporting.

Of course there are times when the council is deciding how to spend
large sums of your money they will make that an exempt item and kick
out public and press.

believe it or not this bunch of unelected people are serving and representing
the residents of Oakham, the public pay for this organisation that the Clerk
once put into a written report "we don't do much, but what we do, we do well"

The public overpay for very little if any service from the Town Council.
