Green Party Candidate Rick Wilson Elected, Rutland County Council By-Election RYHALL AND CASTERTON WARD

Richard Peter Wilson, Known as Rick Wilson has been elected as a Green Party Candidate

It was a close vote, 281 votes.

Richard Foster, The Conservative Party Candidate, 268 votes. The former Conservative County Councillor can now enjoy his retirement. 

The number of ballot papers rejected was 2 for being unmarked or wholly void for uncertainty.

The Liberal Democrats could not be bothered to stand a candidate, despite flooding other wards with leaflets, claiming they have achieved so much with their current small team.

Labour also failed to stand anyone despite winning the last by-election.

Another good result for Progressives in #Rutland ‼️

Whilst the Conservatives hold the majority nothing can be changed here in Rutland. I hope at the next full council election these very weak parties can put up some candidates to give Rutland voters a choice. Unlike the last elections when the many Conservatives are elected unopposed.

Politics here in Rutland is rubbish.

CANDIDATE FOR OAKHAM 

NORTH-WEST BY-ELECTION

4 November 2021

Leah Toseland

The Labour candidate standing in the Oakham North-West by-election is Leah Toseland. 

Leah lives in the ward and has lived in Rutland for many years. She is 29 years old and a mum of two children with special needs. Despite the demands of being a mother, Leah has become involved in the issues that affect the community, including campaigning for the swimming pool; a petition with over

2,000 signatures has just been submitted to Rutland County Council. Leah is also committed to campaigning for better local health provision and for public transport that meets the needs of local people especially when trying to access health provision.

She said:

“I am acutely aware of the issues we face as a community and the needs that our ward has. I will freely admit, I am not the usual person that runs for Councillor, I am a local mum, who lives down the road. I just want to become a Councillor to help others. I want to be the change voters want to see. 

If people feel fed up and dissatisfied with Rutland County Council and want to send them a clear message that their attitudes need to change – vote for me. 

I am not just a Mum, I am a passionate campaigner for issues involving Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, Health Care, Social Care and Education reform.

I want to ensure that we create an inclusive and encompassing society for all. Why? I have ADHD. My sister is autistic and has ADHD, and my two boys are autistic.  

I am a registered carer for my two boys, so I understand the struggle carers face. I also have other long term and chronic health conditions which I have to manage, and live with, every day.”

The election is to be held on Thursday 4 November 2021. The other candidate is:

Daniel Stephen Bottomley (The Conservative Party candidate)

I have contacted him and await his press release.

Polls are open until 10pm for the Oakham South Rutland County Council by-election.

Paul Browne Lib Dem Candidate Letter delivered to selected Oakham Residents for the Oakham South Rutland County Council By-Election 2021

Below is a copy of the letter, delivered by a good looking Lib Dem today.

I am no longer on the local mailing list since Cllr Gale Waler should have retired.

Although I remain on the National list. 

The content of the letter is not that different from the leaflet delivered the other week.

The candidate still thinks as a Councillor you can decide what opens up in our vacant shops. If he is elected he has a lot to learn. He mentions a town full of charity shops and politicians. 

Opticians reminds me of the time, when I was a town councillor and attempted to support that opinion, first I was verbally attacked in the street by a drunk friend of the landlords son, then Rutland County Councils planning wrote to me and quoted European law, that basically states no one could object to the change of use. I do often wonder why, The County Council is required to even consider or consult on any application these days, when European law is quoted and central government has taken away most local planning restrictions.

It would seem Mr Browne who claims to have been a expert in land and property law does not know the council cant tell landlords who they can let their property to. 

The other point in his letter is a council can't sort out Oakham Medical Practice issues. Our MP can and although she is a Conservative she is trying and certainly helped me sort an issue.

I once used the services of Paul Browne solicitors to be fair to him I was duped into using one of his legal executives who was absolute crap and to this date over ten years later the issue has never been resolved. So he certainly won't be getting my vote.

Oakham South ward of Rutland County Council District Council there will be a by-election which, if contested will take place on 19 August 2021.

Tories' Corby candidate Christine Emmett thinks her party's leadership does not know what it is doing

Congratulations to Rutland blogger Martin Brookes for finding this insight into the
thinking of the newly selectedConservative candidate in the Corby by-election.
It dates from last year.

Come to think of it, someone with contempt for David Cameron would fit in very
well on the Tory backbenches. 

But she is unlikely to make it to the Commons, at least from Corby.

Christine Emmett has today been selected by the Corby and East Northamptonshire Conservative Association to contest the by-election.

If I was voting in Corby I would not vote for Christine because she is a Tory and a Rutland County Councillor

Christine is of course one of a few Rutland County Councillors who has manners. Something lacking of many  Rutland Tories.

Christine lives in a Windmill Morcott Rutland LE15 9DQ  Tel: 01572 747000

email: cemmett@rutland.gov.uk

As she takes her first steps into Corby I think she might be in for a surprise the problems in Corby are far greater than Rutland.

You only have to look the local paper, its not full of nice things like here 

in Rutland

BMW smashed up and set alight in Corby

Magistrates show man caught with two knives no mercy

Police investigating cause of blaze at Corby school

County crackdown on alcohol-related violence

Then of course the biggest complaint in this area is Tory MP's are elected to be rarely seen working in their constituencies ever again. 

If you don't believe me read the letters in  the Stamford Mercury...

Christine Emmett has a degree in Economics, and was a member of William Hague’s Northern Transport Commission, She also worked for Marks & Spencer and still dresses smartly in their outfits.

She does a lot for charity, she often raises cash by living on £1 a day that does not include the fuel to go out and by it or heat it. But it gives her an insight as to how the poor live.

I wish her luck, I did tell her she was to good for Rutland County Council.

She will have to work hard to catch the votes the bookies are not rating her chances.

Christine Emmett has today been selected by the Corby and East Northamptonshire Conservative Association to contest the by-election.



Conservative Party Candidate, Christine Emmett said:
"I feel truly honoured to have be selected as the Conservative candidate for Corby and North East Hants and I relish the chance to fight the upcoming by-election.

"I want to provide real local leadership, standing up for you and being a strong voice for our community in parliament.

"Local people want a local candidate who listens to them and knows how to get things done. I have experience across a number of sectors, having raised money for charity, worked with the health service and run my own business. I want to use my understanding and knowledge to represent the people of Corby and North East Hants.

"I will spend the next few weeks and months traveling around the constituency and listening to people like you. I want to know your view, your problems, your concerns so that I can best represent you and serve our community."

Conservative Party Co-Chairman, Sayeeda Warsi said:
"I am delighted to announce that Christine has been selected as the Conservative Party candidate for Corby and East Northamptonshire.

"Christine has real experience of the working world, and will be a leader for the local community, standing up for the entire constituency and working hard for its residents. By choosing a career politician as their candidate, Labour has shown that they are more concerned with keeping it in the family than truly representing the local people.

"I am looking forward to hitting the campaign trail in the coming weeks, knocking on doors with Christine and showing that the Conservative Party is on the side of hard working people."

Councillor  Christine Emmett (Conservative) Parliamentary Candidate Rutland County Councillor.

When I first met Christine Emmett, I thought she was too good for Rutland County Council and even more shocked to find she was a Rutland Tory. Her vocabulary and diction stretched further than your average Rutland Tory Thug.

She called me by name rather than Idiot or something worse.

I remember asking her at an event, had she ever worked for central government, she said no.

Now I hear she was in Downing Street as a hopeful Parliamentary candidate. Good luck Christine, You need to get out of Rutland before you turn into a typical Rutland Tory drunken old boot.

Please! if you are successful and become an MP try not to forget how you existed for two weeks on £1 a day for food. I and many others do that out of necessity living on basic benefits. 

I spend £10 a week on food. I am pleased to hear your dog eats better than you did for the two weeks.

Christine raised £750 for charity.
