Cllr Joyce Lucas, Lady Ruddle Tree, Are these the remains, Bellway Homes Site, Oakham, Rutland



For some very strange reason when Oakham town Councillor
Joyce Lucas was our tree warden she revealled the former
parks school site was home for a memorial tree to Lady Ruddle
and stated it was a healthy tree and unfortunately it just had to go.

After the meeting I asked Cllr Lucas if she could tell me the exact
location of the tree so I could photograph it. She refused, I wrote
to Oakham Town Council and raised the issue and a meeting and
was ignored.

Was anyone filling Cllr Lucas's purse? after all she had nothing
to lose or gain if she had told me where the tree was located.

Bellway Homes and Rutland County Council had a lot to lose
if the tree had been saved.



Maybe Oakham Town Council will replace it with another of Cllr
Alf Dewis Oak Trees
