Stamford Homes Vale of Catmose College and Oakham Town Council

Oakham Town Councils planning and general purposes committee met last night

They discussed a number of applications this included.

APP/2010/1066/PG Stamford Homes Limited Variation of condition 5 of planning permission OUT/2008/0344 to increase the total number of dwellings from 117 to at least 125 Vale of Catmose College Cold Overton Road.

And

APP/2010/1073PG  Stamford Homes Limited
Reserved matters application for erection of 125 new dwellings and associated works Vale of Catmose College Cold Overton Road.

Outline planning application was approved in 2008 for the building of 117 new homes.

Cllr Charles Haworth said he did not like the density of the build and asked the question is going to become a ghetto?

Once again Cllr Joyce Lucas chairing the meeting became confused with which agenda item members were considering.

Cllr Joyce Lucas agreed with her with Cllr  Charles Haworth it could become a ghetto and did want a ghetto of low quality style homes in our area.

(70 % two bedroom homes a contradiction of the council past concerns for the need for affordable homes for young people, is it a case of we need them but not on my door step thanks?)

Cllr Dewis said Horrific density and had concerns with increased traffic and possible further delays at the crossing.

He later added College Close was spoilt and Stamford Homes built rubbish.

(has he ever looked at the front of his house and the ugly addition that suffered he is often so critical of others his extension looks like two boxes consisting of two very large double garages and a box on top.)

Cllr Lucas went on to say she was not happy with the environmental plan. Not happy with the removal of mature trees and the proposal to replace them with boring things.

Cllr Sharon Spencer expressed concerns  about traffic and access to the new school.

Cllr Tor Clark and Cllr Alan Walters (who did not swear) both were pleased to see the inclusion of social and affordable housing.

The members turned down both applications.

Catmose College Oakham Rutland New Build

Working on the roof of Vale of Catmose College

Today has been a eventful day. The photograph attached is a man, who assaulted me in Oakham high street today. He claims to be a friend of Jan Fillingham Mayor of Oakham. after he pushed me, he asked me why I was harassing her. He accused me of walking past, her house. (I did not know this was illegal) He said I would never become a Oakham town councillor. He also suggested I was mental deserved all I got and was trying to become mayor. I ask the man to tell me who he was, he refused to tell me. I told him I would report him the police and he told me to tell my friend inspector Monks, Inspector Monks is not my friend and I could not report this incident to the police in Oakham because the police station is closed Monday. I had to go to Leicester and reported the matter at Leicester Police Station and was given the following crime number. NR/00167/10.8
I walked away and took the mans photograph. I will not be intimidated or bullied by these people. I understand the Mayor is ill so I would not harrass her. and I dont expect to be harrassed by people who claim to be her friends

When I arrived at Leicester Job centre, I found I had lost my signing book. I was told I could not sign on with out ID. I could not afford another train ticket this caused me some distress, I think slightly more than normal because of the event befor arriving.

After getting a manager to agree to carry out some security question check I was about to sign and the Job Centre fire alarm was sounded we all had to leave.
After some time I returned signed.

Then it was off to Leicester police station to report the morning event. The police were very helpful and gave me a crime number and will soon be contacting me to take a full statement.

It has been suggested this man is just a OAP, all I can say is yes he is and that is why I could not hit out when he pushed me. Being old doesn't stop him intimidating and bullying people.
