Rutland Showground Religious event will vacate site on Friday says Rutland County Council

Rutland Showground event will vacate site on Friday says Rutland County Council

Rutland County Council has clarified a decision by multi-agency partners that the Light and Life event will close on Thursday (24 June 2021) and the site will be vacated on Friday (25 June 2021) as originally planned by the event organisers. 

The Council has reviewed the event plans and risk assessments and made recommendations to the event organisers for improvements to the running of the event. 

Councillor Oliver Hemsley, Leader of Rutland County Council, explains: “This is not an ideal situation, and we are certainly not happy that we have had to retrofit processes to ensure the safe running of this event for attendees and our community. 

“We have two main issues that the Council and its partners, particularly the Police, are currently handling. The first being the safe running of the event, including ensuring it is operated within Covid-19 regulations and that traffic, noise and waste is managed appropriately. 

“The second is around a small, yet significantly impactful group of attendees which have chosen to disrespect our community. As a result, the Council and Police are having to manage the immediate impact of these attendees and will continue to do so to protect our community until the site is vacated on Friday.

“Allowing the site to be vacated on Friday, as originally planned by the event organisers, means the Council and its partners can develop and put in place plans to enable the safe departure of all attendees, minimising impact on our roads and infrastructure, ensuring attendees move on to their next destination, whether home or another event, without delay.”

In the meantime, residents, businesses and road users who have any concerns or information to report should follow the advice of Leicestershire Police - visit https://www.leics.police.uk/ro/report/ quoting reference Log 186 of 19 June 2021 or to call 101.

Cllr Jean Denyer Oakham South appointed deputy Mayor of Oakham is she sitting on Oakham Town Council unlawfully?

Cllr Jean Denyer Oakham South appointed deputy Mayor of Oakham is she sitting on Oakham Town Council unlawfully?

A member of Oakham Town Council contacted me to let me know the newly appointed deputy Mayor resigned from Oakham Town Council in April 2021.

The public were not notified and the Oakham South Vacancy Notice was not published by Oakham Town Council.

NOTICE OF VACANCY

IN THE OFFICE OF COUNCILLOR

OAKHAM SOUTH WARD

OAKHAM TOWN COUNCIL

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN

Pursuant to section 87(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, that as a

result of the resignation of Jean Denyer, a vacancy exists in the office of

Councillor for the South Ward of Oakham Town Council.

If by 13 May 2021 (14 days* after the date of this notice), a request for

an election to fill the said vacancy is made in writing to the Returning

Officer at Catmose, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6HP by TEN electors for

the said Ward, an election will be held to fill the said vacancy, otherwise

the vacancy will be filled by co-option.

MARK ANDREWS

RETURNING OFFICER

Date: 22 April 2021

After her resignation, Cllr David Romney then Chairman of Oakham Town Council spoke to her and persuaded her to withdraw her resignation. Unfortunately her resignation had been accepted. 

No problem for Cllr Jean Denyer, there was already a vacancy the council could co-opt her back to the Oakham South ward and no one would notice she had departed for a few days.

I am guessing someone might have promised the role deputy mayor. A pointless role, because they have no powers.

The actions of Oakham Town Council may not be unlawful, it is highly unfair, it appears Jean did not have to go through the normal co-option process other applicants have to endure and was co-opted very quickly back onto the council on the 28th April 2021.

I find it odd, how can former magistrate Jean can be so easily manipulated by Oakham Town Council. She did not want to stand for election at our last local elections but she was persuaded and helped by Adam Lowes team to stand and they leafleted for her because they did not want me back on the council.

She had resigned once before that.

I think this once again proves Oakham Town Council has no interest in serving the community if it did it would not keep supporting members who are so unreliable like Jean Denyer.

Cllr Andy Burton who was co-opted on to the council in October 2020

 Cllr Andy Burton

Andy Burton who was co-opted on to the council in October 2020. 

He has jumped straight in to leading a working group to forge relationships with local businesses as well as being part of the working group to improve the councils social media. 

Andy's agricultural knowledge has been a hugely valuable asset, particularly when it comes to discussing planning applications.

Andy says,

"Hi, I’m Andy Burton.

I recently became a member of Oakham Town Council representing Oakham North East.

My wife and I have three grown up daughters and two grand children. I have spent all my working life in Agriculture, I currently work with a Lincolnshire Company manufacturing crop trace elements and Bio-Stimulants.

We moved to Oakham in 2018 from the East Riding of Yorkshire where I served for 20 years as a Councillor on East Riding of Yorkshire Councils Cabinet with responsibilities including Economic investment, Planning, Highways and Transport, Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning.

My passion and interest in local Government led me late in life to study the subject at Huddersfield University where I attained an MA in politics.

I am really proud to have been selected to represent the residents of Oakham and I look forward to getting involved in many of the issues and challenges that face us during these difficult times.

Should you need to get hold of me I can be contacted by email at aburton@oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk

Thanks

Cllr Andy Burton"
