Rutland Garden Centre, A Christmas Carol, Chris Hamilton,
Visited by a Spirit of Christmas?
Visited by a Spirit of Christmas?
Is to give Oakham a Christmas Tree.
Mr Hamilton spotted the Facebook campaign 'give Oakham the Christmas tree it deserves.'
The campaign was given plenty of local media coverage, Rob Persani interviewed Oakham
Deputy Mayor Cllr Alf Dewis. on his breakfast show
this week on Rutland Radio.
The Rutland Times gave the campaign front
page coverage.
Mr Hamilton has strong connections to our town
council past and present.
Former Oakham Mayor Jim Harrison one of Mr
Hamilton's friends said Oakham residents may
have the tree they deserve?
Mr Hamilton owner of Rutland Garden Center
based in Ashwell, has surely been visited by a
Christmas Spirit of sort. He has told Rutland
Radio news he will donate a new 20 foot tree, this
Sunday morning. 8.00am and is asking residents
to assist at the delivery if they can.
It's great to see the Hamilton family giving back
to the Oakham tax payers after many past years of
taking from them.
Mr Hamilton finds it difficult to recruit staff and is
currently attempting to seek temporary staff using
a Grantham based agency, who say it is highly unusual
for them to do business with Oakham and Rutland
based firms. The agency felt I had the appropriate
skills and experience to work for Mr Hamilton!
I would have liked to work at the garden center, but
I am sure if I had turned up this Wednesday to start work
Mr Hamilton in a drunken rage would have chased
me off site with his shot gun.
