Oakham Town Council, Christmas Lights 2013, Further Costs

Oakham Town Council year after year wastes thousands of pounds
on poor Christmas lights for the town.

This year it has decided to spend more a replace the lamp post
displays, destroyed by the company meant to look after them.

It also finally decided to pay for the lighting of the towns Christmas
Tree, which in the past was donated by the Rotary Club, last year the
town council paid the Rotary for the tree so they could continue the
tradition? I am not aware if they will be doing the same this year.

There will be an additional tree this year a modern cone tree placed on
the canopy of Victoria Hall.

All the white LED bulbs used along the high street will be disposed off and
replaced with Icicle style lights.

They are spending an extra £8,000

Oakham Town Council, Christmas Lights 2013, Lite ltd

Every year Oakham Town Council spend thousand of pounds of public money on possibly the countries
worst Christmas light displays.

Every year the town clerk is congratulated for his hard work, by some thick town councillor.

Finally it has sunk into the Clerks head, the people of Oakham are not happy with the money wasting town councils efforts, it's taken many years?

On Wednesday the town council meet, they will discuss how the display can be improved.

They are going to throw another £17,500 of public money at it again.

It is disappointing Light Ltd failed so much last year and only felt their balls up warranted a £500 refund.

They appear to do a better job for Stamford.
