Whilst the BBC was filming last year one of the hard working Oakham Volunteers pointed out how the committee members spend most of their time arguing. There are not many other volunteers unless the TV cameras are present.
One thing Oakham in Bloom could do is get rid of the ugly neglected planters scattered throughout the town. Every year the judges of in bloom say they are horrible.
Only on Friday this week I was in town and a group of visitors were enjoying the town and one pointed to the disgusting planters and said. 'Oakham is a wealthy town you would expect better' and then pointed out 'they even have Oakham in Bloom posted on them what a mess'
