The news today that planning officers and not councillors, decided to approve a major project submitted by Oakham School only adds to the speculation by local people that Oakham School relationship with Rutland
County Council permits them to do as they please in our town.
Image above of one of the new blocks that will enhance the
conservation area. It would be interesting to know
what 106 payments were agreed and the intended
use of those legal bribes.
The Rutland Times reports celebrations at the school?
Long before these plans were approved if you read the school website you could sense
the school knew these plans were to be approved.
It is not surprising when a lot of your trustees are made up of Rutland County Councillors
who just happen to be old Oakham School boys.
Most of the Tory Councillors send their children to the school one is even married to the
deputy head.

Below is fine example of one of Oakham Schools 'good things'
