Minutes of the extraordinary meeting of Oakham Town Council 18th September 2017 Rutland County Council Local Plan Review

Minutes of the extraordinary meeting of Oakham Town Council 18th September 2017

It is a shame I was not recording this meeting, a meeting that should have happened months
ago.

Fortunately for a change the council response was professional it was very obvious
that most members had not read the draft local plan document produced by RCC
One member felt it was her opportunity to trash all our retail outlets here in Oakham
and complain she could not find one shop that stocked a dress in her size.

One other council member summed it up, 'nothing constructive was said'
