Very late last night, a comment was posted the user says I don't have the guts to leave the comment. Fine! I wonder when they will have the guts not to use a proxy server to hide there ID.
Part of that comment:
"He has always manipulated situations to make himself look good, he is the person who constantly berates and puts down others when they disagree, he has a fictitious bag of "members of the public" who question things, yet we all know its his deranged way of questioning things in his twisted and outlandish way."
One thing a Councillor has to remember is when a member of the public speaks to them their details should remain confidential. Sometimes people do give consent for there details to be given to the council or another body. You don't often hear a MP stand up in parliament and say Mrs Smith told me. Mrs Smith is known as the constituent
With the recent case of litter I can name Oakham Wines and the Health Shop
Rutland County Council wrote and said the streets are swept daily, not true according to highways they are only litter picked daily. Our good council has no money to empty a bin?
Highways say, Litter is not cleared from the kerbs because people have in the past claimed from the council for damage to their car caused by Street Cleaners retrieving litter?
The Council says no money to improve services, It has the money to pay the leader of th council £22,000 + a year, a chief executive over £100,000 a year to manage nothing anymore, as she has passed most responsibilities and staff to other Councils, you could say she is putting herself and other senior people out of work?
The Highways Depot is to move back into the main council office. The staff are not happy because they will have no place to park their cars, most live out of town. This will please Stamford Road residents. The Council has also forgot it owns a number of HGV's and Vans no provision has been made for the parking of these once the High Ways Depot is closed. Stamford Road?
The Owner of Oakham Wine like many traders in the town is fed up with the poor excuses Rutland County Council keeps creating.
They all say visitors don't come to visit Oakham to see littered streets.
Oakham Wines has to place a box outside its store to collect the litter that blows down the high street into his store and then has to pay to dispose of this litter.
The Health Shop are fed up with people waiting for the buses and dropping litter and fag ends outside their store everyday, they requested a £200 litter bin the Council cant afford it?
The Council suggested Traders sponsor bins, I passed information onto another store owner the only response I can publish is "I pay enough rates"
So there you have it a couple of names not fictitious! Its my view the Chief Executive the Leader and Deputy Leader and the conservative Cabinet are a load of rubbish.
Rutland County Highways say they have never seen the box at Oakham Wine and the streets are clean, so here is a photograph of the box.

Rutland County Council is to review litter bins to cut costs
Rutland County Council is to review litter bins to cut costs.
Oakham Town Council may have agreed to purchase a litter bin, and sited it near to a high street bus stop.
Rutland County Council has said it can not adopt the bin as it can not afford to get it emptied and it is also planning a reduction of current litter bins.
I wonder how if you employ a person to sweep the pavement does it cost more or less to empty a litter bin?
Can I suggest Rutland County Council start looking at cuts that would effect those in high places.
For example the private hire of a car and driver for the Chairman of the Council.

Rutland County Councils New Street Cleaning Team
Rutland County Councils New Street Cleaning Team Clean up the weekends Pizza
I have mentioned litter before and be attacked for photographing this in the past.
The situation in Oakham is getting worse and Rutland County Council seems blind to it.
It is about time someone from the council got of their backsides and walked the streets of Oakham, then they would see what I and many other residents are seeing.
The streets are not being cleaned as often as they should be even all the local rodents are having trouble eating all that is on offer.
Mrs Briggs says cuts are needed, there is no money! so lets get the enforcement officers out dealing with this very serious issue.
I noticed recent press coverage showing litter bugs are a very lucrative source of income to the council in Leicester.
If Rutland and Oakham wants to attract tourism, it needs to clean up.
I have been lucky enough to get out into our wonderful countryside, only to see where people park up cars and litter with beer cans and bottles. Its shameful.

Rutland Flyer What Happens to the Litter?
Rutland Flyer What Happens to the Litter?
If you leave litter on a bus, do you ever wonder what happens to it? If its a Rutland bus its likely to be kicked out the emergency door by the drivers. Regularly littering the area around Wilkinson.
