Paul Browne Lib Dem Candidate Letter delivered to selected Oakham Residents for the Oakham South Rutland County Council By-Election 2021

Paul Browne Lib Dem Candidate Letter delivered to selected Oakham Residents for the Oakham South Rutland County Council By-Election 2021

Below is a copy of the letter, delivered by a good looking Lib Dem today.

I am no longer on the local mailing list since Cllr Gale Waler should have retired.

Although I remain on the National list. 

The content of the letter is not that different from the leaflet delivered the other week.

The candidate still thinks as a Councillor you can decide what opens up in our vacant shops. If he is elected he has a lot to learn. He mentions a town full of charity shops and politicians. 

Opticians reminds me of the time, when I was a town councillor and attempted to support that opinion, first I was verbally attacked in the street by a drunk friend of the landlords son, then Rutland County Councils planning wrote to me and quoted European law, that basically states no one could object to the change of use. I do often wonder why, The County Council is required to even consider or consult on any application these days, when European law is quoted and central government has taken away most local planning restrictions.

It would seem Mr Browne who claims to have been a expert in land and property law does not know the council cant tell landlords who they can let their property to. 

The other point in his letter is a council can't sort out Oakham Medical Practice issues. Our MP can and although she is a Conservative she is trying and certainly helped me sort an issue.

I once used the services of Paul Browne solicitors to be fair to him I was duped into using one of his legal executives who was absolute crap and to this date over ten years later the issue has never been resolved. So he certainly won't be getting my vote.

Since Allan Grey wrote in the Rutland Times, he had found Confidential Rutland County Council Documents in Cutts Close Park, I keep a eye out for more, I was not expecting to find these this morning.

At first I did not want anything to do with them, then I decided it would be good to take some photos.

Then I decided to send a message to a Lib dem Councillor. She messaged me back and said the election team was looking for them. She also said the postal votes had not yet been sent out. I assume the brown envelopes makes her think they are postal votes. Although she told me the postal votes had not yet been sent out. 

When I returned to Church passage, what I had photographed had gone. 

A RCC employee was looking around, she spoke to me and said the grass cutters who had just cut the grass had not seen anything.

A Conservative Cllr arrived and said the police had been called and suggested the bins should be checked.

Unusually one bin was empty, in another bin some ballot papers were found. I don't know if they are real. I have seen many thousands over the years and they certainly looked real.

The Conservative Cllr also said the postal votes had not been sent out.

The Council employee said they had been sent out. Apparently that is before the date shown on the election timetable.

It was confusing because not long before I had seen a former town councillor posting what looked like two postal votes at the  main post box this morning. So I assume the council employee is correct they have been sent out.

There was talk between the Cllr and employee that some one may claim election fraud. 

Some one has since said they are fake, if that is true then they are good fakes. I wonder if  they were meant for Allan?

John Lewis The Place to Eat Highcross Leicester, I would not be surprised if this was the next store to close. Although the service in the cafe was good, the shop floor service is dreadful plenty of staff standing around chatting to each other rather disinterested in customers and just like M&S they don't seem to have stock and offer to order items on-line  for me. I certainly did not want to take that chance my mum has ordered a basic table and chairs from them and they have taken the money and give an estimated delivery date of one month away and if I wanted to shop on-line I would not have travelled to the store. The item I wanted from the electrical department was available from Amazon for the same price it arrived this 8 hours later and the computer gave me information about the product that the sales assistant could not give me. 🙁
