Why doesn't Oakham Town Council, follow the correct legal procedure, when a Council Member is absent? Stamford Town Council Clerk is demanding it.

Why doesn't Oakham Town Council, follow the correct legal procedure, when a Council Member is absent?

For years the Clerk has refused to give the reason for any Councillors absence  from a meeting.

By doing this how can members vote approve the absence if no reason is given?

Recently The Town Clerk at Stamford Town Council reminded member of their obligation.

She said “When you are not able to attend the meetings, please let me have apologies and reasons. The council needs to approve the reasons and if they do not, that will set the clock ticking.”

I do think she went to far when reminded councillors that as town representatives they were expected to attend some of the events coming up, including Stamford Diversity Festival, the 500th year commemoration for William Cecil, a Battle of Britain event and a performance of the musical Cats.

Stamford Skate Park, Stamford Public Meeting, Stamford Town Hall

Tonight the public of Stamford held a meeting in the town hall, to debate and ask questions of the Skate Park Committee. The hall gradually filled with young and older people, some people were left standing outside the door.

The Skate Park Committee and the young people have successfully raised £150,000 to build a new skate park in the towns recreation ground. The original skate park was removed after health and safety concerns.

Mark started with a presentation of the committees proposal and work so far.

The public were then given the opportunity to ask questions and have their say. The chairman made sure no one was missed.

Some residents are concerned there will be an increased risk of anti social behaviour. Young and Older people spoke in favour of the skate park.

The thing that I shall remember most is how well behaved the young people were. It was nearly handbags at dawn for two older ladies, one accused the other of having no brains or something along those lines.

In all it was good to see a public meeting, Rutland is not very good at public meetings those that do go ahead are far too stage managed by Rutland County Council.
