Alan Walters Co-opted onto Oakham Town Council,
Oakham Mayor Jayne Woodcock said "Welcome to our little pack!"
A pack a vicious uncontrolled animals could sum up the conduct of most of our town Councillors.
We were treated to a perfect piece of theatre as Rutland County Councillor Alan Walters
was co-opted onto the council.
Alan who had previously resigned, because he found the petty nature of the council not that amusing.
I knew, I should have placed a bet on him being then selected to serve on the planning sub committee.
I had pointed this possibility out to a member of the public.
There was a slight adjournment whilst Cllr Walters was taken into the Clerks office to quickly sign his papers, I think it was a Blue Peter moment, It was all very quick.
After the meeting I pointed this out to a councillor who has a wicked sense of humour. They suggested "the Clerk was efficient! and he had already prepared the documents for all the candidates accept you"
Efficient meaning achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense. If he had prepared documents for all the candidates then he had failed on the waste and expense element.
Paper waste!
As Alan took his seat the next item was considered, would Adam like to join the planning sub committee? of course he would what a silly question.
