Oakham Town Council Agenda Wednesday 11th December 2019

Since the admin assistant walked out last month it is near impossible to obtain a copy of the councils agendas and supporting documents  all public documents and it is a legal requirement for the council to publish these on-line.
The Clerk has failed twice to respond to my requests and failed to comply with the law and send me a copies. Nothing changes at our pointless costly council.
