Ms Joanna Burrows Campaigning in 2015 for the Oakham North West Seat
Ms Joanna Burrows. Party: Liberal Democrats. Ward: Oakham South. Has Written To Residents While Returning from A Very Long Holiday in The USA.
I know this has upset residents who want to but cant travel to the states due to covid-19 restrictions.
I wont mention the holiday or it longevity, it is a sensitive subject for Ms Burrows. I won't repeat the allegations made by some residents about how Ms Burrows travel route had found her in America for a long period of time. I asked her a question on Facebook about the allegations and she refused to answer and unfriended me.
It is great one of my Oakham South Councillors has taken time dictate and have delivered the letter shown below. Very good quality paper and envelope. I wonder if this is paid for out of the allowance Rutland County Council paid when she was away?
I think Ms Burrows is a little cross with peoples allegations. Allegations which she says are lies, I accept her response to my question that she also originally mistook as an allegation. This evening she tells me: 'I am bloody back And I’ve finished quarantine. Joanna sent Today at 22:31
I am able to be green and reuse the envelope because it was not sealed.
The choice of font is dreadful and she was not elected back in 2018 it was 2019.
I don't dislike Ms Burrows it is a fact I once helped her with one of her unsuccessful election campaigns. I did not bother with the second attempt, because after the first she told me she did not really want to be a County Councillor. I will never understand Rutland Politics.
I am pleased Ms Burrows is going to push for a Greener Rutland, perhaps that is why she remains in America less flying = a lower carbon foot print.
I am pleased to read she is not going to give up.
She raises a question about the Railway Crossing here in Oakham, to be honest it is not something the County Council can deal with, that is Network Rail and if anyone has seen towns that are blighted by a bridge, they may not want it for Oakham, if a bridge was put in place it would need a long slope up. Personally I would suggest Rutland County Council should review all the old road signs and direct passing through traffic onto the bypass.
She then says why has the Conservative council not done anything to improve the town centre? I would add the Town Council into that question. It was not long ago that the Conservative council did make an attempt to improve the town centre and residents objected and the Town Council said nothing.
I can only speak for myself when it comes to the listening to residents, I find we have a much better council than a few years ago. I can message the leader and receive a good reply instead of very rude intimidating ones I used to receive from past leaders and deputies.
I am hoping Ms Borrows can keep battling on my behalf, as my Libdem councillor even if she finds herself thousands of miles away again, Of course, I do have another option the wonderful Oakham South Tory, Ian Razzle... or is that Razzell?
