Oakham Town Council Election

Oakham Town Council Election

The date has passed for residents to call for an election after the resignation of Co-opted Cllr Simon Dyer.

No notice has been posted to indicate if residents have collected the required ten signatures and called an election.

I told the Chairman, I would do the leg work for one of their cronies and would be very happy if
the went to co-option, its not democratic but will save the local tax payer another £5000 election costs.

I think he also understood the serious issues facing Oakham Town Council this year as new rules
don't like parish councils with so many co-opted members, it is no democratic.

Oakham Town Council does not represent the people of Oakham over half its members are co-opted
by those who were elected unopposed, who often lie when they say they don't know a candidate who lives
in the same street as them and then become instant friends.

Cllr Martin was co-opted after The Mayor Cllr Adam Lowe promised her a seat if she lost the election.
I think that should have barred her from co-option, because the rules say a Cllr can not invite anyone for
co-option.

It would be good fun if the Mayor invited his mate former Mayor Paul Beech for co-option, Oh no he won't accept co-option something happened in 2007.

Oakham Town Council Election, Posters and Leaflets

I am not responsible for the posters that have appeared around the Oakham South
East Ward.

The person responsible is a local nut, much like the town councillor
who is responsible for the laughing stocks blog. I can only assume it is one of his
six unknown friends.

The posters like previous ones are a clear attempt to cause me a disadvantage
at the poll tomorrow.

A person at Rutland County Council keeps telling myself and the police the
posters are not illegal.

That is not true, a person was sent to prison for defacing an election poster in another
part of the country.

Leicestershire Police did nothing in 2011, even when the electoral commissioner
referred a poster to them. The Police say a council employee a Tory
told them the posters are not illegal.

Who is correct the electoral commissioner  or Rutland County Council?



Poster spotted on Vicarage property.

? Independent ? this is the clue the person responsible for these posters
is the same demented loony who in the past sent me offensive letters.

I wonder what the six 'w' mean?

there is a good thing about the posters it has made people realise how stupid our councils
and their few supporters are. I think they are very childish. What are they scared
of?

The local paper is just as bad publishing only publishing comments from the other candidates
and stating I gave them no info.

I spoke to paper and they agreed to amend the on-line story, nothing could be done
to rectify the published paper.

I was told by the paper, the other candidates approached the paper, one of the
candidates disagrees with that and says the paper approached them.



I have been asked why there are no leaflets for voters, The reason is I can not get leaflets
produced and printed for 5p or less. 5p is the maximum candidates can spend per voter.


The image used in the current poster was stolen by a serving town councillor from a
friends facebook in 2009 and used on his disgusting blog in 2010
