Finaly Richard Swifts lealfet arrived, I was pleased to read my single vote is not wasted.

Mr Swift says "I am standing for election because, like many people, I am dissatisfied with the way that the current council operates. It does not provide succinct, rational replies to the questions that are raised against their policies."

Most readers know I agree with this statement and this relates to both Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council and suffer the consequences for saying just that.

I hope people will vote out all the Tory old dead wood and then kick out the chief executive and we can truly have a new council for the people.

Records show there is not much hope, this will happen because those who don't like the council don't vote.

So if you want real change pleas vote on May 5th and don't vote Conservative.

I met Mr Munton one of the new Conservatives candidates, he seemed a good man, I wondered if he knew what he was letting himself into.

In our ward we have a small chance to help the change much needed, you only have to place one vote.
Don't bother with Mr Plews Conservative, he has done nothing for our ward over the past four years, sorry he did nick something a few weeks ago, I had already sorted new grass on the verges of Woodland View once the little build is completed. Mr Munton can continue to look after his lorries.

Greetham Ward of the County of Rutland Nomination Vote May 5th 2011 Election Candidate, Rutland County Council

Today I was nominated by a Greetham resident to stand for Election
as a Independent Unitary Councillor for Greetham Ward of the county of Rutland.

The nomination was quickly seconded and assented by a further eight residents of Greetham, who I thank.

The ward includes:

Clipsham
Greetham
Pickworth
Stretton and
Thistleton.

Out of the twelve homes I visited, I was only rejected by two. One because the resident maybe nominating a friend across the road. Another said he could not sign anything and I must be a very brave person to stand against Roger Begy, I can't imagine why?

I am happy to accept the nomination as a Independent Candidate, my aim is to promote integrity and gain public confidence in Rutland County Council.

If elected I will work full time for the benefit of the residents of the ward.

I have no money or hold any vested interests and would work hard for the benefit of all the community.

It was a pleasure to meet and talk to so many nice residents in Greetham today.

I met and chatted with a couple of residents of Thistleton.

I look forward to canvassing all the villages very soon.

The current ward Councillor is

Mr Roger B Begy (Conservative) - GREETHAM WARD  (Leader of the Council)
