Rutland County Council would like to clarify its event process as a recent Facebook post by Oakham Town Council may have created some confusion among event organisers.
First I question why are we still paying money for a clerk who is dishonest and incapable of doing most things correctly or providing members with the correct advice. It is disgusting that we have to pay for for this full time position and lets not forget the town is also paying for 'her friend' to be employed as an assistant, then we have a Cllrs wife who is paid to clean the expensive long row offices. I am pretty sure that comes close to breaking the law, I do know Cllrs can not be employed by the council, I would ask why the job was not advertised? but I won't.
Secondly if we are not going to have any events this summer and all we get is the grass cut and litter picked in the 3 tiny parks, manky expensive plants, and Christmas Lights why do we need this costly pointless town council?
I am told no one wants to do anything for the town, all they seem to do is fight each other and constantly fall out with Rutland County Council.
The neglect of the trees is a perfect example the Clerks failure to do their job. more branches fell this week.

The Council’s event process has not been changed as a result of the event at Rutland Showground. Since the advent of the pandemic event organisers have been required to provide the Council with event management plans that demonstrate, alongside other aspects of event management, how an event can operate and meet Government COVID guidelines. This is to protect public safety during the pandemic.
Plans are reviewed and agreed by a multi-agency group including Public Health to ensure they are ‘COVID secure’. Details of what we have been require event organisers to supply can be found on our website: www.rutland.gov.uk/my-community/organising-public-events/
We have been notified that Oakham Town Council has decided to cancel all planned events up to 18 July due to Government’s extension of COVID restrictions. They are planning to hold a programme of events from 25 July onwards and have been advised of the need to submit their event management plans for review.
