Conservative Councillor Leigh Higgins, deputy leader of Melton Borough Council suspended for comments in a speech he made at the Best of Melton Awards were considered to be of a sexist nature by some.

After comments started to appear online like this one:

'Debbie Longley

Lovely evening at Best of Melton Awards.

However, if you want confirmation that some people still live in the Dark Ages; COUNCILLOR Leigh Higgins just asked all the ladies to stand up so we could be seen as it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to ‘enjoy’ those kinds of sights!!! (Needless to say I didn’t stand up)

It’s a business and community event you absolute sexist, chauvinistic tool. Plus, I am not there to be ogled by anyone! He also told us how he nearly lost his multi million pound business and had to go on to JSA, and that some other millionaires had to have food parcels. My heart bleeds.

P.S Congratulations to all the winners and finalists.'

This does not surprise me, he was taught by the best old Melton Tory farts back in 2015, you only have to look at @meltonblue who can say anything they like and offend anyone they like to understand this. Its a shame really he has turned into one of them.

Victoria Hall Oakham Rutland Kino Cinema a possible loss of a community asset.

Firstly I agree Oakham needs a cinema so I have no issue with the proposal originally made by Rutland Kino a few years ago.

What I object to is the chosen location used by the community albeit not as much as it should be used.

Some people comment that the handing over the whole building to a private company means it is still a community asset its not. Its a business for profit and personally I can't find any boutique cinema that can afford to show the latest releases.

We lost our only public theatre and the art gallery some years ago.

Over the years the Trustees of Victoria Hall have claimed money from various charities stating Victoria Hall is a community hall.

Money was claimed for a new community kitchen and is let to a commercial company.

Thousands of Pounds of charity money was spent on renovating the hall this included taking down the suspended ceiling and revealing the ceiling upstairs.

Why would you take thousands of pounds from charity to remove the suspended ceiling, clean out all the dead pigeons and poop and restore this fine ceiling to let someone who wants to run a private company box it back in? I will use Victoria Halls owns words to describe that

'The removal of the 1950’s hung ceiling revealed the original Victorian high vaulted ceiling with its cast iron supports which is a visual delight!'

This photo one of many I have shows one of the many community consultations held in the hall. This was Aldi 2013.

Some of the old trustees need removing and the correct number from both councils need appointing for the required four year term of office.

There should be 3 trustees from Rutland County Council and 3 from Oakham Town Council appointed by the council not the trustees after an election for 4 years.

There should be 9 residents from Oakham appointed trustees for a max term of 5 years.

I think because the trustees have chosen to reduce the number to a little group of 5 Trustees is why the best decisions for the hall are not being made. It unclear who are trustees because the list on the website is different from that on the charity commissioners website.

I am not mentioning names on this post, I will just say, I am told at least one of those 5 does not even attend meetings.

Sunflower Cutting £10 for as much as you can carry, this weekend at The Rutland Vineyard Barrowden Road Ketton PE9 3RJ For Rutland Sailability Wonderful view of Collyweston and Wildflower Meadow

A wonderful afternoon out and helping to raise funds for a good cause. If I forget I fell over hurt my knees and ripped my trousers.

The only thing that annoyed me was some people who had enjoyed the sunflower picking and a ice cream. Felt it was perfectly acceptable to dispose of the plastic container, in the farmers field.
