Cllr Alan Walters, Rutland County Council, metaphorical speaking councillor
Cllr Alan Walters, Rutland County Council, metaphorical speaking councillor
Now I know why we don't understand our Councillors.
Walking to the Police Station I saw Cllr Walters.
I was chatting to some one else when I finished I caught up with him and chatted about why
I was going to the police station, He said he was going because he felt his wife had been incorrectly issued a ticket and he needed to get it sorted. When we arrived the police station door he told me the name of the officer he was seeing. I said he is a good officer if something is wrong he will sort it correctly.
My issue was entirely different and I am afraid I can not see how I could have confused the
Councillors talking about a ticket in a metaphorical way. Certainly listening to his voice mail message I am now confused!

Cllr Roger Begy OBE, Cllr Alan Walters, Resident, pandemonium, Police Corruption, Oakham, Police Station Visit
Cllr Roger Begy OBE, Cllr Alan Walters, Resident, pandemonium, Police Corruption, Oakham, Police Station Visit
This morning I thought I was going to experience a quiet visit to Oakham Police Station.
As I was walking to Oakham Police Station, I met Cllr Alan Walters who was also heading
towards the police station. He said he had a issue with a ticket relating to his car and he was going to get it sorted.
We both enter the Police Station.
A woman was pleased to see me! I have had my car broken into, I am now told some of the documents stolen have been found in a holdall belonging to a police officers brother.
Then Rutland County Councillor Tory Leader Roger entered the Police Station.
He had come along to be with Independent Cllr Alan Walters. A Officer took them through the counter area into the police area. Was Roger responsible for Alan Ticket? were they both attending for another reason?
The woman is still adding to pandemonium the word Corruption was mentioned not a new word to me.
The officer who I was meeting arrived and we went to a side room. The woman eventually became quiet and on leaving she appeared to be having a conversation with a sergeant, I saw her car outside with the broken window. I am sure this wont be the last we hear of this.

Rutland Changes to Council Tax Benefits, Cllr Alan Walters, Complains
Cllr Alan Walters complains he is receiving no response from the public.
It does not surprise me, why would they. He knows like most residents his council will do whatever it wants.
It does not listen to residents.
He does raise a good issue on his website The named site 'one councillor' is I am told of putting to local residents. What is wrong with plain and simple Cllr Alan Walters?
Below is his latest post: I have checked the council website the meeting he refers to is to be held on Date: Monday 07 January 2013
Not the 10th as he publishes at the end of his post:

Rutland Changes to Council Tax Benefits
Residents of Rutland may be interested to know that on Monday 7th
January 2013 at 7pm at Catmose a Full Council meeting will be held,
largely aimed at reaching agreement on changes to Council Tax Benefit.
There are numerous web pages devoted to the changes but perhaps a plain Englsih guide might be helpful. Rather than the Government funding Council Tax Benefit in full following national criteria, it has decided that the total amount of funding will be reduced, and that it is up to Local Councils to work out how to deal with the impact.
Rutland’s response has been to consult widely, to work with neghbouring authorities, and then come up with a proposed scheme.
This has then been debated, and a number of changes made to the proposal ready for it to come to Full Council.
Despite the wide publicity and consultation there has been remarkably little debate in the local media.
This is a serious matter which residents currently receiving benefits should be aware of - but I have not received a single message from residents on this subject despite raising it in both the Rutland Times and also via the Melton Times, as well as my twitter feed and on Oakham People.
My greatest fear is that some current claimants may simply look at the paperwork and say “Doesn’t affect me mate – I’m on benefits”. This is not the case and I would urge anyone with any concerns to contact the CAB for advice.
All welcome to hear the debate - 7pm Monday 10th in the council Chamber

Cllr Alan Walters Resigns from Oakham Town Council
Cllr Alan Walters resigns from Oakham Town Council.
Oakham Town Clerk Richard White said Mr Walters resigned for personal reasons.
I would suggest it was mainly due to his harassment towards me and for his outburst at a Rutland County Council meeting when he called the Police Authority Chairman and Cllr Barry Roper at Twat.
Alan Walters has apologised to me on more than one occasion. Some people would like people to believe I am mad.
I wonder if this description is more fitting for Alan Walters and his other photographer friends and Councillors?

Demolition Of Oakham CofE School photographs
Work started today on the demolition of part of Oakham CofE School.
It was reported in the local press the new school would hoped to be
completed by September, I thought this was a hope.
The School will take a year or more to build and complete.
The children will be taughtt in portacabins and the remainder of the
School. Local Councillor Alan Walter and his wife watched the destruction.
Mr Walters attended this school a very long time ago, he fondly remembered
playing ball as a boy against the wall being demolished. He also took a few snaps.
Mr Walters is also a local photographer.
