Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Car Park, Oakham Town Council and Rutland County Council sanctioned Town Councillor for exposing act of dishonesty and deception

Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Car Park, Oakham Town Council and Rutland County Council sanctioned Town Councillor for exposing act of dishonesty and deception demanded by
former Town Clerk and Former Oakham Mayor

Dear Mrs Mogg

Monitoring Officer Rutland County Council

When I was last sanctioned one of the reasons was because the investigation found I had breached confidentiality

I blogged about the Woodland Trust and Brooke Hill Academy Car Park after the former Clerk Richard White and Chairman Alf Dewis's attempted to hide there was covenant attached to the deeds of the land stating there was  beneficiary.

A financial benefit was due to the beneficiary if the land  held by the Woodland Trust was developed.

Members of the council including myself were asked to keep this a secret so the beneficiary would not find out about this development.

As you and Oakham Town Council imposed the year long sanction for my honesty and refusal to collude in this deception are you saying I should support any future acts of dishonesty?

You are aware after I blogged about this attempted act of dishonesty and deception by Oakham Town Council and the Woodland  Trust and Brooke Hill Academy pulled out of the proposed agreement with Oakham Town Council.

The Woodland Trust and Brook Hill Academy then worked with Rutland County Council to secure the new car park.

Did Rutland County Council notify the beneficiary of the covenant attached to deed or did it also agree to hide this from beneficiary?

Councillors Questions  For Full Council Meeting 22nd July 2015

Dear Richard or Allison

Please confirm receipt of my questions to be answered at the
meeting on the 22nd July 2015 Agenda item 4

1) Why is Oakham Town Council continuing to assist Brooke Hill Academy
​procure the use of Woodland Trust Land when it is aware there is
a covenant on the land which prevents the creation of a car park?

2) Why is Oakham Town Council expecting members to keep a secret
from the beneficiary of a covenant, that secret being
Brooke Hill Academy has sourced an insurance policy which
will indemnify the Woodland Trust against any claim that
could be made by the previous land owner.

3) If Brooke Hill Academy has truly acquired an indemnity
why is Oakham Town Council instructing its solicitor
to arrange a immediate opt out surrender clause if
the covenant is legally challenged by the previous
land owner?

Brooke Hill Academy, Oakham, Woodland Trust and Oakham Town Council, Car Park and possible corruption

Brooke Hill Academy, Oakham, Woodland Trust and Oakham Town Council, Car Park and possible corruption

10. CAR PARK AT BROOKE HILL ACADEMY (Appendix E) (i) To consider a report and to decide whether to authorise the Chairman to sign the Lease with the Woodland Trust Members are asked to note that should detailed discussion take place about Item 10(i) then they may be asked to exclude the Press and Public under the provisions of Section 2 of the Public Meetings (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 as amended, due to some of its confidential nature (ii) To authorise preparation of a draft agreement between Oakham Town Council and Brooke Hill Academy regarding the future management of the proposed car park


At the next meeting we are being asked to consider the above.

I was concerned to read an approval of a lease document would need to become
an exempt matter.

The Woodland Trust own land next to Brooke Hill Academy.

Brooke Hill Academy want to acquire a piece of the land for parent parking.

Because of laws and regulation governing Trusts such as the Woodland Trust
The Woodland Trust can not grant a lease or licence to a non statutory body
so it was decided that Oakham Town Council would be the lease holder and
sublet or licence the land to Brooke Hill Academy at no cost to Oakham
tax payers.

Due to complications Cllr Alf Dewis and the Clerk have run up a legal bill
of just under £350 so far.

Today I asked Richard White why a lease would need become an exempt item?

During the meeting I had with him earlier today he told the reason why and
said it must remain confidential.

After some considerable thought and advice I feel it would be wrong, perhaps
dishonest and corrupt for any councillor to agree this lease knowing the following:

Before I write the reason I would like to say I am not surprised that this
Cllr Alf Dewis's project.

There is a covenant on the land of which the previous landowner is a beneficiary.

The Woodland Trust solicitors have apparently written to this person. They
have no responded to the letter.

In the meantime Brooke Hill Academy have apparently found an insurance
company prepared to indemnify the Woodland Trust against any claim from
the beneficiary of the covenant.

The Woodland Trust and their legal advisors do not want the previous land owner
to know about this insurance policy.

Also the Town Council Solicitors agree.

And that is the reason why the public and press may be excluded from
that part of next Wednesday's meeting.

I find it shocking that our Mayor is expecting Councillors to breach the Nolan Principles
of Public Life as a matter of course.

I was also told if Brooke Hill Academy Did not get a car park on land
that has a covenant not to build a car park then this would effect their
planning application at RCC for the proposed School extension.

Larkfleet Homes, Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Parking Oakham Town Council

Larkfleet Homes, Brooke Hill Academy, Woodland Trust, Parking Oakham Town Council

I wonder how daft Oakham Town Council can get?

Tonight they considered two planning applications.

The first a proposal for Brooke Hill Acadmy to create a 30 space car park
on land leased from the Woodlands Trust.

After the Ward Councillor Alf  Dewis had told everyone this must go ahead because
a child might be killed Councillor approved the application.

The second application was from Larkfleet Homes. Oakham Town Council does not
like their developments and restated there are to many homes proposed on the site
between Barleythorpe Road and Burley Way.

They rejected the application because the two space encrouched into space marked
as proposed allotments. Thats a good reason to object? so how do they explain
30 car spaces encrouching into Woodland Trust Property, The circle of green surrounding
our town is getting smaller each year.

I wonder if Cllr Dewis will mind losing the view behind his house when that comes
up again for development again.
