Oakham Town Council Jet Blast Towns War Memorial
Oakham Town Council
Jet Blast
Towns War Memorial
Oakham Town Council Say: The War Memorial in All Saints Churchyard
is currently being sympathetically cleaned.
The work is being paid for by Oakham Town Council
and the Trustees of the Memorial Institute.
From the distance the memorial looks clean.
A closer look shows it is not clean
the pointing is damaged.
£2000 for a man to use a high pressure washer is
not a sensitive way to clean the memorial.
The surface of the stone has been damaged
it now feels a looks like coral.

British Forces Day Rutland
Our Town Mayor Sharon Spencer
with
The High Sheriff of Rutland
Cllr Lucas was also present I was rather publicly told "no photographs"
my reply was, I would not want to damage my camera Mr Lucas
I am really getting fed up with Councillor like Lucas
attempting to humiliate me at public events.
Mr Savage MBE always very polite to me
a very respectable gentleman
who deserved his recognition
for his work with the
British Legion
Below Mr Baines Chairman of Rutland County Council
Below The Chief Executive of Rutland County Council
lead the local dignitaries of to the castle
fro a reception paid for by the local tax payer
