Oakham Town Council agreed to grant Anne from Music and Moore and her Rutland
Concert Band over £500 of taxpayers money to burn, the cost of a few bangers because Cllr Adam Lowe said she is one of the only people in Oakham who does anything for the community although there was no evidence of match funding . Anne assumes the waiving of the bands fee covers that it does not because she does not charge Oakham Town Council anywhere near £500 for any performances during the summer concert season.
This is another example of why Oakham Town Council should follow Melton Borough Council lead and stop issuing grants.
The Town Council has a history of only giving taxpayers money to its friends. I do not object to Anne's band performing the charity concert. The bangers are a waste of tax payers money.
And why did Cllr John Nowell not declare an interest as he expressed his support and voted
to approve the funding? The Prom in the park is raising money for one of the charities he works
for The Air Ambulance.
Failing to declare on financial matters is now a criminal offence you only have to look at the case
of the Tory Cllr in Dorset who was arrested and charged.
Leicestershire police will be taking a statement and collecting evidence next week incident
number 22627032015
I wonder if Cllr John Nowell will be able to blame his wife this time?
