Oakham Mayor Cllr Adam Lowe, Spends £150 attending Party, The National Childrens Ambulance Service as seen on BBC Inside

At this evening council meeting I a gave a deputation, questioning why our Mayor was spending local
public money in this way.

The National Childrens Ambulance is a spin off purchased for millions and never used by The Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air  Ambulance, it was featured last year on BBC East  Midland Inside Out Investigation.

The local goverment act states parish money can not be used to support organisations outside the parish.

I asked the Mayor why he is supporting this charity bearing in mind the act and the information
published by the BBC.

I said he might as was suggested at the last meeting by a councillor "carefully consider the wording and all should be fine"

There are always ways in which Oakham Town Council can get around laws to spend public money as
they please.
