Corruption within Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council Planning

Corruption within Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council Planning






A member of the public has pointed me into the direction of documents that can be found on-line.

That clearly show former Cllr Matthew Taylor who is employed by SSR Planning Northampton after being employed by Rutland County Council. He was co-opted onto Oakham Town Council just before the Town Council was asked to consider plans to build new homes at Catmose College by Stamford homes.


Cllr Matthew Taylor did not declare an interest at Oakham Town Councils planning committee.

I wonder why his friend Cllr Alf Dewis who also used to work for Rutland County Council, did not point this out as he knew where his friend works.

Documents clearly show Rutland County Council works with SSR Planning on behalf of Stamford Homes &
Allison Homes.

No wonder Rutland County Council leader Roger Begy states planning is the baine of him.

It is not yet known that former councillor Matthew Taylor resigned due to the above or if it was related to past bullying of a member of his ward.

UPDATE:

The Town Clerk has pointed out the following:

Martin

I have been asked to point out to you that former Cllr Matthew Taylor did declare a Personal and Prejudicial interest in the planning application relating to the Stamford Homes application at the Vale of Catmose College site. The draft minutes of that meeting are attached.

The Committee has not met since the 17th November and these draft minutes will be considered for approval at the meeting scheduled for the 16th February

Cllr Matthew Taylor Resigns From Oakham Town Council

RESIGNATION

Cllr Matthew Taylor has resigned as a member for Oakham North West. 

Mr Taylor cited other commitments that meant that he was no longer able to commit fully to the role.
 
The Council will make a decision on whether it wishes to fill the vacancy by co-option in due course.

Of course nothing to do with the way he treated a local resident, when he was employed by Rutland County Council.

It is time all these bullies resigned.


Cllr Alf Dewis
Cllr Joyce Lucas
Cllr Sharon Spencer (who we know is going in May)
Cllr Charles Haworth
Cllr Maureen Dodds
Town Clerk Richard White, All need to go now, along with their supporters at Rutland County Council.

I would like to thank all the people locally, who over the last two weeks have approached me in town to say welldone. I don't think I have done anything.

Those people can do more, stand and take control of your councils and get rid of the selfish Councillors. 

Not all Councillors are rotten.


Those who are not listed above are very good Town Councillors 


Cllr Adam Lowe and Cllr Lorna Grey are especially good. Cllr Lowe is not scared to stand up and challenge the Clerk, He stands up and says the sort of things I said and was shouted down.
Questions like why is there only one quote Mr white?  


Mr White was happy there is only one quote because he knows the man by his first name so he can be trusted the quote he has obtained is ok.


Mr White did not want me to publish information about the Bandstand Contract, Standards ruled it was in the public interest although I should not have criticised the Clerk. 
Poor show when The Rutland Times would not print my letter, but print one from ex Cllr Mr Beech congratulating the Clerk. Local builders who did not quote because they saw it as a low income job said if they knew the contract was going to be so lucrative they would have also tendered at the high price of £30,000 also.


We need a town council that is  interested in the people, town and its future.


A strong council is required.


Or does Oakham need a Town Council? take a look at what happened to Letchworth Garden City Town Council.


We certainly don't need another 4 years of do gooders, who are drunken bullies.

Its a pity local Police who supported this mob cant be held to account. Inspector Monks 


All the Councillor I ask to resign used to hold private meetings about me to find a way of dealing with me.


Cllr Dewis has admitted this. Others deny it even though their leader Cllr Dewis has said this happened.




I don't know the full facts about the member of the public's complaint against Mr Taylor. It is good to see he has taken the action she requested. Its a pity the others don't learn from him.
