Royce Recreation Ground Oakham Vandalised

At the next Council meeting Cllrs will be asked to consider replacing a new piece of equipment that has been vandalised twice. The first time the supplier replaced the damaged equipment free of charge.

This time we are being asked to consider spending £14,000 replacing the equipment. I am told this is 7% of the councils income.

I sense a feeling the council can not afford this and no money is set aside for this type of cost.

Strangely the council does not insure for vandalism, I am told it would cost to much.

Most shockingly Cllr Walters has sent this message via his iphone

Not sure why he asks me to pass on info, those Cllrs who can do something don't read my e-mail so they say. I know they read my blog, so here should work
