Exempt minute approvals and McDonald's

Another failing by the clerk pointed out by Cllr Joy Clough at the last meeting.


Another failing is the late consideration of the McDonalds application something the
Chairman Dave Romney mentioned at the last meeting.
I would not be surprised if Rutland County Councils planning officers have approved the
planning application before Oakham Town Councils comments arrive.
