Work Starts On New Toddlers Play Area Royce Recreation Ground Princess Avenue Oakham Town Council £50k debt Good Publicity For Joyce says Cllr Lowe


Work Starts On New Toddlers Play Area Royce Recreation Ground 
Princess Avenue Oakham Town Council £50k debt Good Publicity 
For Cllr Joyce Lucas says Cllr Lowe


Oakham Town Council is borrowing £50,000 for a new toddlers play area in Oakham.

I raised the state of the play area in Willow Crescent with my ward Councillor who is Adam Lowe
I ask why hundreds of thousands of pounds had been spent on the two other parks but nothing more than
a bit of grease on the swings when a resident complained about the noise as they rust away.

He responded the other two parks were bigger which gives an opportunity for good  publicity for the council
when they spend thousand on them.

He went onto say we are doing the work at Royces so Cllr Joyce Lucas can gain a little more publicity as the ward councillor publicity she enjoys.

Cllr Adam Lowe is the Planning and Parks Committee Chairman and Deputy Mayor.

He complained to the police because I recorded his conversation he claims it is harassment.

I don't, I call it evidence.

It was not my intention to record Cllr Lowe I choose to record at certain public events due to past
threats received verbally by those connected to local governance. I felt if  I recorded them the police might
take action and if I tell them it  might just  act as deterrent.

Adam used to be a nice guy until he joined the mob.

He also told me being a Cllr was not what he expected.

At the funfair this week I witnessed they  old Adam enjoying himself with his family, he even smiled  at me.

Makes a change from snarls from other councillors like Lucas and Haworth to name just two.
