Oakham Town Council Continue To Pay For Church Clock, Stating There Are No Other Clocks Visible to the Public in Town.
There law states a Parsih Council can fund its local church clock.
All Saints Church is not central and other church demonitions receive no support from the Town Council, All Saint's Church does rather well even receiving free bedding plants a few times each year.
What I find strange is not the payments, but the fact local Councillors at a recent council meeting stated durring a review of spending and possible cuts, they would continue to provide the church with funding for the clock because there were no others in the town. There are others two are shown below.
Tesco removed a clock some years ago maybe the
town council can fund a replacement.
