Oakham Bandstand Restoration, Oakham Town Council, Cutts Close, Oakham, Rutland March 2010

Oakham Bandstand Restoration, Oakham Town Council, Cutts Close, Oakham, Rutland

This is the time the Town Clerk and his friend like Homophobic seriously stepped up
their harassment and bulling.

£30,000 to replace the roof and paint up the railings of the bandstand.

Local builders a the time said they did not tender because saying "the job was to small"

The Clerk lied to members of the council, at the time I was a member.

He told us silly tales about modern tiles being porous and in desperate need of replacement.

He had chosen very expensive wooden tiles and told us the existing tile was no longer made.

When Mitchell Hudson started removing the tiles I took a tile to Travis Perkins in Oakham
and was told the tile were still made and I was given a quote to replace all the tiles and it was
less than 10% of the cost of the wooden ones. (A very cheap cost effective common Marley Tile)



Cllr Charles Haworth once rather flippantly suggested the Town Council should take the
roof and hang flower baskets from the roof supports.

At the time I blogged about this farce and the Clerk accused me of bullying him.

The Tribunal Judge ruled I was not bullying adding what I had published was in the public interest.

Oakham Town Council never learn from events like this and a repeat performance was carried out when the Clerk was permitted to organise the renovating of the Princess Avenue Gym for friends
of a Councillor costing the local tax payer over £60,000 Cllr Alf Dewis said it was a good investment. The council let the premises for less the market value and will not recover the expenditure throughout the period of the lease and by then I can only assume it will need renovating again. The council did not tender for this renovation work it was left to the Clerk to deal with
the same company that profited from the bandstand was contracted. At the time the Mayor Cllr Adam Lowe said at a meeting OMG I did not think it is going to cost that much and then members approved the works.

When the tenants moved in the decided they enjoyed to official openings one with Mayor Alf Dewis and the other by the High Sheriff of Rutland?

Then they required a new boundary fence, The Clerk was questioned at a meeting about this.

Who is responsibly for the fence? he responded "the tenant once we have purchased and installed the new one" The lease says the tenant is responsible from day one. So once again they received thousands of pounds free from the tax payer.

People may wonder why I call the clerk a liar well apart from the tiles, despite him claiming he
never knew what Cllr Haworth and Former Mayors were up to, I would speak to him about
their disgusting activities, like their blogs like planetneptune and he would say "leave it with
me" and shortly after my chat some of the most disgusting posts were removed. Now he denies
these conversations ever happened. Basically he is suggesting that everything I have said since
2009 is a lie. If he reduced his fluid intake it might refresh his memory.

 

Mitchell Hudson Contractor who restored Oakham Bandstand



Before Restoration





















Oakham Town Council paid Mitchell Hudson £3000
for this timber for security it failed some one broke
in and stole tools.

After the works were completed,
I made a request, could some if not all of this costly timber
be used for an art project in Cutts Close?

Cllr Haworth objected, the archives of the Rutland Chat
Forum show he has a hatred of young people and strongly
objected to the creation of the skate park.

I was told Mitchell Hudson were storing the timber which
the council owned. WhenI finally found a graffiti artist
who was considering a project Oakham Town Council
said Mitchell Hudson had disposed the timber. Disgrace!
