Another letter in the Rutland Times this week from our unelected Mayor
and Town Councillor Alf Dewis regarding Sainsbury
He keeps turning to the paper and radio and claims to speak for all
Town Councillors.
I like the reporter from the Rutland Times sat in at the meeting and reported
more than one reason why the Town Council rejected the application.
He keeps harping on about traffic issues as if that was just one reason for the
rejection.
The town Council does not represent the people of Oakham as he claims
in his letter it represents itself and a few of the respectful old guard. (thugs)
The Sainsbury decision has upset them.
Like the leader of Rutland County Council, Cllr Dewis is very good at
getting his friends to write letters of support for him. All pretending to
be independent members of our community. For example last weeks
letter of support came from Carol Beech the wife of former Mayor
Paul Beech who has just been fined £80 for his dignified conduct on
Remembrance Sunday.
The Rutland Times suffers from loss of readers due to the endless
contributions from this mob.
I wonder what the Mayor means when he invites someone to attend
all the meetings who is interested in the town and to listen to the debate.
I attend every meeting, as for debate the council does not know the
meaning of debate. If they do then that is conducted behind closed
doors in what they call a pre meeting briefing.
I spoke this week to members of the public asking if they read the local
paper, they all replied no, because it appears to provide sole entertainment
to those connected to the council, it was also interesting to hear people still
thinking the town and county council are one of the same.
People said they are fed up with their letters and press releases and
like me they want to see real news content and not turn every one
of the few pages to see a contributions or connections to the councils.
