Oakham Baptist Church has installed banners covering the "Welcome to Oakham" signs throughout the town, featuring advertising for their Alpha Course, which has sparked controversy. Cllr Chris Clark, the sole director of the Oakham Town Partnership, said he granted permission for the banners.
The welcome signs paid for with public money from Oakham Town Council, to welcome visitors, promote shopping, The Farmers Market in Oakham.
The Town Partnership is now run solely by Cllr Chris Clark, it seem to have lost its direction and no longer serves the business community interests here in Oakham.
Oakham Town Partnership is now registered with companies house, as an events organiser.
Although the Oak framed signs are meant to welcome visitors, the recent application of green paint has obliterated the welcome lettering.
