Rutland County Council, BBC Inside Out, East Midlands

Three UKIP Rutland County Councillors have been working with BBC Inside to produce a
programme about Rutland County Council.

The programme makers started filming when the three councillors were members of Rutland's
Anti Corruption Group.

No date is yet available for the broadcast, I was told it is likely to be this month.

As soon as details are available I will publish.

I understand its not going to be the best publicity for the authority.

Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland Air Ambulance, Charity, Cllr John Nowell, BBC Inside Out

Oakham Town Councillor John Nowell, Area Organiser For Oakham
Still almost  one year on under police investigation.

It was interesting to  watch Inside out and  see what people are locally
complaining about. They say we give our money to run the Air Ambulance.

The Boss of the charity is paid over £100,000 a year. He also uses
a company that employs his wife.

Staff are paid thousands in bonuses.

New shops are being opened costing thousands to fit out and managers
are paid high wages. In Oakham the Charity took over one of Oakham's
most expensive retail properties.

Nottingham and Lincolnshire are complaining about the charity intruding
into their area.

I was told the is going to open a store in London this year. So I imagine
this will result in complaints from fundraisers in London.

My view is this charity is no different from any other big charity who pay
to much for there staff and entertainment fund raising,

It is no surprise smaller charities spring up who actually pass on all the
money raised for their cause.
