Oakham Town Council, Approves Wetherspoon Pub, Oakham Town Partnership Dislikes Name

It will improve that end of town.

Cllt Dewis raised concerns about the pubs proposed opening hours this includes a 7am start
he felt Wetherspoon had a national reputation and they would not want to spoil that by upsetting
Oakham. He went on to say the Oakham Town Partnership was not happy with the pubs name
The Town Partnership had written to Wetherspoon who have ignored their letter. I say good who
do this undemocratic organisation he heads think they are?

The Town Council approved the application but seemed to indicate that they would have preferred
it if it was not going to be a pub. Previously the property was used by Royal British Legion members
to drink, so I see little difference.
