APPROVED.

2021/0855/FUL Ms Genevieve Margrett, Rutland Kino, Victoria Hall, 39A High Street, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AH, The refurbishment and conversion of the Victoria Hall to a 2 Screen digitally equipped cinema with a cafe bar, foyers, multi-use `lounge' and ancillary facilities. 

2021/0856/LBA Ms Genevieve Margrett, Rutland Kino, Victoria Hall, 39A High Street, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AH, The refurbishment and conversion of the Victoria Hall to a 2 Screen digitally equipped cinema with a cafe bar, foyers, multi-use `lounge' and ancillary facilities.

I do hope Rutland County Council recruits a full time conservation officer to ensure this building is cared for.

I would also like to see a full compliment of Trustees appointed in accordance with the deed requirements.

I also question why when a person is appointed Trustee they are not required to sign the legal Trustee documents?

I would also like to see all those who have been Trustees for over the legal five year period step down. Possible before the Charity Commission take appropriate action. A member of the public told me at the meeting they have raised these concerns with the charity commission.

I also question why, when the chair of Trustees was questioned by a Rutland County Councillor, they responded with misinformation. 

The trustees can not shut down the hall and let the charity commission sell it, any of those actions would go against their legal obligations as Trustees of Victoria Hall. Perhaps anyone who is a Trustee and feels that is the option if the cinema project fails they should step down, clearly they have little understanding of the role responsibilities of a trustee.

The hall Trustees have a big problem ahead, the local paper last night reports the cinema might open at the end of next year, 2022. I wonder what provision they have put in place to safe guard the hall for 2022, clearly not enough when you hear they have only issued rental agreements below market value, all due to end on the 31st December 2021. It also became clear they have not yet agreed the sum of money the proposed new 25 year lease holders will pay into a fund to put things right if the business fails. They need to agree that, because I am sure the Trustees could not afford their legal responsibility to put it right. When the Chair of Trustees was asked has the new lease been signed he did not answer. I would suggest that is a no. Especially as Kino have still not reached there investment target. 

The word due diligence were used a few times by the Chairman of the trustees. I wonder if the few trustees understand the meaning of that? because if you cut of all you income from the 31st December 2021 without any guarantee the cinema project will go ahead, that does not seem to me they have use any due diligence to me. 

Lets hope it all goes well and Kino do a good job setting up and have enough money to sell over 1000 tickets a week and pay the rent, staff and all the other costs going forward.

Sally Holmes Florist, Moving not Closing Down, High Street, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AH

The shop lease came to a end and the landlord I am told demanded an extra 30% rent.

Fortunately not all landlords live on another planet and Sally Holmes is relocating to
Melton Road Oaham



Sally Holmes is moving into the left hand unit formally Swinton Insurance.
A florist shop will certainly brighten up that corner of town.

Upstairs is now residential flats the massage business relocated to Loughborough
along with the local police inspector.

The Gold shop closed last year after it had purchased all Oakham's gold reserves
at a fair price.

A MEETING OF OAKHAM TOWN COUNCIL
WEDNESDAY 16TH JANUARY 2013 AT 7.00PM
AT THE OFFICES OF OAKHAM TOWN COUNCIL,
VICTORIA HALL, 39 HIGH STREET, OAKHAM

We got off to a good start. Cllr Joyce Lucas no manners ignored my polite greeting.

She spoke to Cllr Nowell about the helicopter crash and  how the BBC have over killed the story. 
Clearly forgetting two people had died and many have been injured. 
I wonder if she will change her tune when she learns the pilot was a former pupil of Oakham 
School, we all know how she like to grovel at the feet of the local establishment. 
Of course nothing surprises me any more regarding the  conduct of this 78 year old bitter twisted councillor. Yes Joyce I can still hear you when you attempt to whisper.

She then went on to tell Cllr Nowell I was Evil? I did look at him for a reaction, i am sure he was cautious not wanting to add to his current problem of the ongoing police investigation. By Leicestershire Police Economic Crime Unit.

DEPUTATIONS BY THE PUBLIC
I raised the high cost of the Rutland Times advert for the Christmas Service suggesting the council was attempting to buy back control of the local paper, Cllr Haworth had complained they had lost control of the Rutland Times at a previous meeting.

Big problem with shops A frames

She said the present climate outways injuries to people.

Cllr J Woodcock has no problem with the well used bench

Through the Town Partnership laddder signs had been discussed with traders.

Cllr Dewis thinks RCC should look at the ever growing number of A frames.

Councillors did not know what the report authors meant by the comment the Braille signs at the toilets are not tactile.

It was agreed Cllrs Lowe and Woodcock go away and look into issues and report back to the council.

The Clerk said it would be simpler for him to call some one.


Cllr Lowe  said a good report with no solutions.



BUS STOP ENHANCEMENTS 2013 (Appendix F)
To consider a letter from Rutland County Council and to make decisions as
appropriate

Cllr Haworth said this is difficult due to the planned new hub. Although it may not happen.

Cllr Lucas Harrington Way needs a shelter I dont know my East From West

Cllr Haworth did not know what is required for John Street.

Various places were suggested for seats and shelters

PROPOSAL TO RELOCATE ONE “OAKHAM” TOWN SIGN (Appendix G)
To consider a letter received from a unamed member of the public and to make any
appropriate decisions

Cllr Guthrie says the council should write to RCC to change boundry to move new development into Oakham so they can gain extra precept.

Cllr Lucas has a problem with this. Sainsbury needs to be resolved. Most company cars have sat nav. 
Dissapointed the letter writer thinks there is parish council for Barleythorpe she said he is observant and should become a town councillor.

Cllr John Nowell said the Town Partnership were looking at replacing and moving the sign accross the road.

Council is in reasonable health.

Cllr Lowe said can I ask a stupid question if we have extra money can we pay the loan back quicker.

The clerk said does everyone understand this style of flexed accounts whatever that means?
