Rutland Garden Centre Rutland Village Ashwell Road Oakham Rutland LE15 7QN, Oakham Town Council
When is Oakham Town Council going to take responsibilty for the years of abuse it has dished out.
When will Oakham Town Council stop saying it is fine for Councillors to behave as they please, because they act in their personal capacity.
When will they stop dishing out contracts to thier friends.
The wife of the Rutland Garden Centre was the town clerk and for years the garden centre was awarded a lucarative contract to supply hanging baskets for the town each one costing more than Gates retail price. When I became a town councillor I raised concerns about this contract. At the time I did not know the town council used to employ Mr Hamilton's wife.
The Town Clerk Richard White refused at first to put the contract out to tender saying "no one is interested in tendering"
Blog followers will know I persisted and the Town Council put the contract out to tender. Rutland Garden Centre tendered and won the contract, the tendereing of the contract saw the charges drop by around £11,000.
Rutland Garden Centre Website:
http://www.rutlandgardencentre.com/aboutus.html
'The Rutland Garden Centre works very closely with local authorities and businesses, producing floral displays to enhance the environment and local amenities.'
The contract has been put out to tender a further three times since Mr Hamilton's company won the contract with an incredible reduction in price. His company lost the contract because the the two companies since have been much cheaper, the current contractor is slowly putting up prices.

Mr Hamilton Rutland Garden Centre Rutland Village Ashwell Road Oakham Rutland LE15 7QN Threatening Demand
Mr Hamilton Rutland Garden Centre Rutland Village Ashwell Road Oakham Rutland LE15 7QN Threatening Demand
A short clip of what Mr Hamilton thinks is polite.
This evening walking in town Mr Hamilton the owner of The Rutland Garden Centre stopped
me for what he described as a 'polite chat' I strongly disagree with that description.
Mr Hamilton is married to a former Oakham Town Council Clerk.
He objects to me asking questions about the large contracts his company once had with Oakham Town Council, to provide hanging baskets.
He also objected to my past blog publications relating to that subject. Most of the posts were published when I was a town councillor.
He threatened me and demanded I write the following on my blog tonight and most certainly before 10.00am in the morning.
"Rutland Garden Centre did not win the contracts because my wife was the Town Clerk, You are F*cking wrong as always, I am asking you politely and you will do it ..........."
He often used the F word and insisted he was being very polite.
I think it's rather sad that I have to record people who are connected to our council, who bully and intimidate myself and many other people in our community for simply asking questions or criticising them.
In the past I often reported incidents like this and worse and Oakham Police did nothing or if it was Sgt Foster he would say you deserve all you get.
In the case of Rutland Garden Centre I believe as a tax payer I have a right to question a contract that runs into many thousands of pounds, I also have a right to question what I and others think were high prices, I also have a right to ask is this because the owner of the garden centre was once the town clerk?
I do not expect to be abused or threatened by the owner for simply asking those questions, As I said to
him as I walked away fed up with his foul manner, his conduct could suggest to me and others that there was something wrong with his past contracts.
Mr Hamilton and the rest of the tiny Rutland Mob, might like to read the following and note Leicestershire Police are sick of your disgusting conduct and will take action against you.
I and others have put up with your disgusting conduct for over five years now, it is unacceptable.
I am told Mr and Mrs Hamilton remain friends with the current Clerk and other members of Oakham Town Council, this would explain but not excuse his foul conduct.
Mr Hamilton like his friends at Oakham Town Council also requests I stop blogging. The problem is the more that harass me like this I become more determined not to give up the blog.
I am pleased to say that not everyone who has friends on our council behave in the same way, my bosses have told me they have friends on Rutland County Council and they are very polite to me.
I took a look at Mr Hamilton's facebook no surprise to find the friends list contains the Town Clerk, Mark Robison and Former Mayor Jim Harrison and also PC Joe Lloyd
