Rutland County Council Further Library Cuts, Oakham Staff Ask Town Council for £11,000
The last time Oakham Town Council received a letter similar to this one they decided not to
assist. Rutland County Council cut the opening hours.
I agree with the Town Council not supporting that request, the tax payer is already paying Rutland County Council for this service, why should they pay twice?
We are often told Rutland County Council is on top of its finances and there are no issues
so why the need for these cuts, the amount is so small compared to other expenditure.
I am sure Rutland County Council will in the end destroy the library service, just like they have done
with the Adult Learning Service which they hope the private sector will sort out next year.
Currently they are proposing a budget of zero for all Adult Learning for next year.
Due to their failings this year they have created a deficit of over £200,000
And anyway the Town Council cant afford it needs to set aside its money for junkets and hanging
baskets £16,000 for baskets next year.
