Cllr Adam Lowe New Oakham Town Councillor

Oakham Town Council kept up its tradition of warmly welcoming new members tonight.

Cllr Lowe got stuck in and did a good job for a first meeting he was better than he thinks.

He exercised his right to vote against a proposal and I believe he may have sensed some disapproval and enquired is that all right or will I be beaten up?

Those who may wish to do that are rather to cowardly and get to members using other methods.

I was a little concerned Cllr Matthew Taylor seemed to be taking the easy option tonight he abstain rather a lot. It is my understanding a Cllr should consider the proposal and vote yes or no, its important the public knows were their Cllr stands on any issue.

And dont worry Mr Taylor a no vote is not going to grant Oakham Town Council a discount on cement at Cllr Lowes builders yard, well I don't think it will?
