Top Police Cadets Appointed to Prestigious High Sheriff Roles

In a standout achievement for the local youth policing program, two exceptional teenagers have been selected to serve as the region's newest High Sheriff’s Cadets. Following a demanding selection process that tested their poise, public speaking, and professional knowledge, Hollie Sanders and Izzy Kilsby have emerged as the top candidates for these historic roles.

The appointments represent a significant milestone for both young women, who will now act as ambassadors for Leicestershire Police while supporting the work of the High Sheriff's in their respective jurisdictions. Hollie Sanders, 16, has been named the High Sheriff Police Cadet for Leicestershire, where she will assist Mel Thomas. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Izzy Kilsby will take on the mantle for Rutland, supporting High Sheriff Sue Fish OBE.

The road to the Shrieval team was far from easy. Hollie and Izzy were part of a group of eight elite candidates, all of whom were required to submit a comprehensive application before facing a panel of judges. The final stage involved delivering a formal presentation and answering a series of challenging questions to demonstrate their readiness for public life.

Chief Inspector Adam Wardle expressed immense pride in the standard of the candidates this year. He noted that the professionalism and preparation displayed by the participants were a credit to the force, emphasizing that the cadets truly understood the gravity and heritage of the positions they sought.

The praise was echoed by Sue Fish, the High Sheriff of Rutland. As a former Chief Constable, her endorsement carried significant weight; she remarked on the high quality of the cadet program and suggested that the force should be deeply proud of the caliber of young people it is currently mentoring.

Sue Fish a former Nottingham Police Chief Constable now runs a consultancy that campaigns on women’s safety. She carried out radical work in the force. In 2016, she was the first chief constable to record misogyny as a hate crime. She has also spoken about how she was sexually assaulted by two senior colleagues when she was a younger officer. 

In their new roles, Hollie and Izzy will be a constant presence at major civic events and official visits throughout the county. The positions were originally created to provide vital support to the High Sheriffs while offering young people a unique, front-row seat to the workings of the legal and charitable sectors within their communities.

As they embark on their year of service, the duo stands as a shining example of the leadership and dedication being fostered within the Leicestershire Police Cadets. The community now looks forward to seeing these two bright leaders in action as they represent the best of the county’s youth.

The "Sea Dragon" vs. The Plow Decoding the Future of Rutland’s Heritage at Rutland County Museum

The "Sea Dragon" vs. The Plow Decoding the Future of Rutland’s Heritage at Rutland County Museum

The "Sea Dragon" vs. The Plow Decoding the Future of Rutland’s Heritage at Rutland County Museum

21st July 2009 Rutland County Museum

A war of words has broken out over the future of Rutland’s agricultural history, following a report by the Local Democracy Reporter that suggested the county’s famous "Sea Dragon" might be evicting the region’s farming heritage.

The tension began when reports surfaced that Rutland County Council is considering a major policy shift to accommodate the 10-metre Ichthyosaur fossil. In response to mounting public concern, Rutland County Museum issued a statement on social media aiming to clarify the situation. However, for many residents, the explanation has only muddied the waters.

The museum’s statement was quick to push back against claims of "disposal," asserting that they are "retaining" the Rutland Agricultural Machinery collection. In the specialised language of the museum world, "retaining" simply means the council still legally owns the items.

The reality on the ground, however, is one of displacement. The museum confirmed that machinery is being moved to make way for the prehistoric marine reptile. While some items will stay in the Riding School area, others are being sent to a "new facility." Though this new site is promised to have public access, the physical removal of these items from the main museum floor has led critics to argue that the news reports of the machinery being moved to "make way" for the Ichthyosaur are entirely accurate.

The confusion stems from a significant change in policy to be debated by the Council’s Cabinet. A report for its April 2026 suggests the council is updating its "Collections Development Policy" to allow for "rationalisation" a museum term that essentially means thinning out a collection.

While the museum’s social media post insists they are not disposing of objects "currently," the draft policy tells a more complex story. It explicitly states that, Several large objects will be transferred to off-site storage. Items may be "considered for disposal" if they are deemed outside the scope of Rutland’s heritage or to achieve a "balanced view" of Rutland life.

For the first time, funds from any future sales of artifacts would be kept by the council for maintenance, rather than going to the Friends of Rutland County Museum.

From a procedural standpoint, the museum is technically correct: no one is "throwing things in the bin" today. All disposals must still go through the Council’s Cabinet for formal approval.

However, from a public interest perspective, the "loophole" lies in the timing. By moving the machinery now and updating the policy to allow for "rationalisation" later, the legal mechanism is being built to permanently reduce the agricultural collection once it is out of the public eye.

The museum’s message to the public is a delicate balancing act. They are essentially saying: "We aren't getting rid of these things yet; we are just moving them to a new home. But if we decide to part with them later, we will make sure we follow the rules."

For a county built on its rural roots, the question remains whether a "balanced view" of Rutland life should involve moving its farming history into storage to make room for a giant from the deep.

To understand the current anxiety surrounding the museum's collection, one only needs to look back to January 2018. This was the last time the Rutland County Council’s Cabinet approved a formal list of artifacts for "disposal."

During that review, 137 items were identified as no longer contributing to the county's heritage goals. The process back then followed a strict hierarchy of exit, items were first offered as transfers to other accredited museums or for donation. Sale was considered only as a final, last-resort option.

While many of the 137 items removed in 2018 were kept in storage and out of the public eye, the review had a visible impact on the gallery floor. A number of agricultural exhibits were removed specifically to create space for "Live@the museum," a council project that has since become defunct.

Despite the space being cleared for the discontinued project, the space never fully returned to its original agricultural focus. Today, the museum continues to host cinema and theatre events in that cleared area, proving that once space is surrendered for "rationalisation," it rarely returns to its former use.

This history is why current residents are viewing the "Sea Dragon" relocation with skepticism. In 2018, agricultural history was moved to make way for a project that no longer exists; in 2026, the same justification making way for a new attraction is being used again. For many, the worry is that moves into off-site facilities often become permanent exits for Rutland's rural heritage.

Rutland Police, Putting in the Miles A Week in the Life of the Melton and Rutland Neighbourhood Teams

Rutland Police, Putting in the Miles A Week in the Life of the Melton and Rutland Neighbourhood Teams.

Public safety is a 24/7 commitment, but what does that actually look like on the ground? 

Recent updates from the Melton and Rutland Neighbourhood Priority Teams (NPT) offer a transparent look at the diversity of police work from high-stakes arrests and drug seizures to the essential admin that keeps the community running.

Here is a breakdown of the recent proactive work keeping our streets safe.

The Neighbourhood Priority Team (NPT), The NPT recently completed a grueling shift focused on tackling serious offenses and removing threats from the community. Their efforts resulted in a significant dent in local crime figures. 

The "Big Red Key": Officers tracked down a male wanted for 13 shoplifting offenses. While entry was nearly forced, the presence of the tactical entry tool (the "big red key") convinced the suspect to surrender.

The team assisted Response colleagues in processing a male linked to multiple serious offenses, ensuring he was successfully interviewed and charged.

 A "Fail to Stop" incident led to a summons for various driving offenses and a drug search. In a separate stop, officers uncovered counterfeit cash, seized a vehicle for having no insurance, and arrested a passenger wanted for offenses in Leicester City.

Crime prevention isn't just about handcuffs; it’s about collaboration.

Working with Melton Borough Council, the team served two eviction notices to address ongoing localised issues.

Dozens of intelligence reports were filed, which serve as the "road map" for future proactive policing and targeted raids.

On the Beat with PC McKinnon, South Rutland & Beyond

While the NPT focuses on high-priority targets, local beat officers like PC McKinnon have been busy managing the safety of South Rutland and supporting force-wide emergencies.

The A1 remains a focal point, with PC McKinnon attending four separate traffic incidents this week. Fortunately, only one resulted in minor injuries. The team also traveled to Loughborough to assist at the scene of a serious injury collision and supported a large-scale search for a missing person at Bradgate Park.

ASB & Drugs, continued casework is underway with Rutland Council to tackle Anti-Social Behavior (ASB) and drug misuse in Ketton.

Local Governance: PC McKinnon attended the Edith Weston Parish Council meeting to hear directly from residents regarding road safety concerns near the village chicanes.

The A47 Corridor, collaborative plans are being drawn up with the community safety team to address recurring issues along the A47.

The police rely on your eyes and ears to stay ahead of crime. 

Emergencies: Dial 999

Non-Emergencies: Dial 101

Stay safe, Rutland.

Easter Extravaganza at Rutland County Museum Oakham Fossils, VR, and High-Tech Fun

Easter Extravaganza at Rutland County Museum Fossils, VR, and High-Tech Fun

August 2014

If you're looking for a way to keep the kids entertained this April, Rutland County Museum is pulling out all the stops. In a massive win for local families, the museum has announced it will be open daily until a week on Saturday for the Easter school holidays marking the first time in years that the venue has offered such consistent holiday access.

The surge in activity is thanks to funding from the Levelling Up Awards granted to Rutland County Council, which has allowed the museum to expand its hours and introduce some seriously impressive new attractions.

Hands-On History, 'Take & Make' Crafts

For those who like to get creative, the museum is running its popular 'Crafts in a Bag' sessions. At just £3.50 each, visitors can choose between two prehistoric themes, Dinosaurs and Ichthyosaurs

These bags are designed for "drop-in" fun, allowing families to sit down and build their ancient creatures at their own leisure within the museum’s galleries. These are available daily during special Easter hours (10am–3.45pm).

Beyond the glue and glitter, the museum is embracing the future of storytelling with two major new features, The Sea Dragon Experience: A cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) journey designed for ages 7 and over. This experience dives deep into the world of the "Rutland Sea Dragon" (the famous local Ichthyosaur discovery).

The 3D Sandpit, A new interactive installation that uses augmented reality to respond to how you move the sand, creating shifting landscapes and digital environments.

While the museum is embracing an extended schedule, there are a few dates to keep in mind to ensure you don't turn up to closed doors:

Open Dates: Every day from Tuesday, 7 April to Saturday, 18 April.

Hours: 10:00am – 3:45pm.

Closed Dates: The museum will be closed on Sundays, Good Friday, and Bank Holiday Monday.

Whether you want to get hands-on with a dinosaur craft or transport yourself back to the Jurassic period via VR, this Easter is the perfect time to rediscover what Rutland County Museum has to offer.

Are you planning to try out the VR experience, or are you more interested in the traditional crafts?

The hunt takes place over two days, ensuring plenty of time for everyone to get involved:

Dates: Thursday, 9 April and Friday, 10 April

Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Starting Point: Oakham Library

The Rutland Lions have designed a route around Oakham that is as fun as it is challenging. Participants will navigate the town to find 20 brightly colored pictures of eggs. It’s not just about spotting them, though; you’ll need to match the eggs to specific clues on your sheet to solve the puzzle.

Head to Oakham Library to register. To kickstart your adventure, the Lions are offering a choice of a Creme Egg or a piece of fruit for that essential energy boost.

Since this is a "virtual" hunt, your smartphone is your best friend. To prove you’ve successfully tracked down the hidden gems, you must take a photo of each egg you find.

Once you’ve completed the circuit, head back to the library. Show your photos to the Lions team, hand in your answer sheet, and verify your total egg count.

No Easter hunt is complete without a prize! Every participant who completes the challenge and hands in their answers will be rewarded with a packet of mini eggs.

Beyond the chocolate, the true heart of the event is the impact on the community. The funds raised through the Lions' efforts stay right here in Rutland, supporting local community causes and neighbours in need.

Make sure your phone is fully charged before you head out

You wouldn't want to find egg number 19 only for your camera to run out of juice.

Will you be Oakham's top egg-splorer this year? 

Head down to Rutland County Library, Oakham  on April 9 or 10 to find out.

Rutland County Council New Cabinet Formed with an Eye on the Future

Rutland County Council New Cabinet Formed with an Eye on the Future

In a move designed to navigate a period of significant local government reform, Rutland County Council’s newly elected Leader, Christine Wise, has officially unveiled her Cabinet. The announcement follows her election at the March Full Council meeting and signals a strategic shift aimed at maximizing delivery for residents over the next two years.

The refreshed Cabinet structure isn't just about new faces; it's about alignment. Cllr Wise has emphasized that these portfolios have been reshaped to match the Council’s strategic priorities more closely and to ensure broader representation from Rutland’s Independent Group.

As the Cabinet is responsible for the majority of day-to-day decision-making, as well as the preparation of budgets and policies, these roles are pivotal to how the county functions.

The updated leadership team and their respective responsibilities are as follows:

Cllr Christine Wise Leader and Chair of Cabinet: Policy, Strategy, and Partnerships.

Cllr Andrew Johnson Deputy Leader, Governance and Resources: Finance, Digital, Law, HR, Audit, and Communications.

Cllr Paul Browne Planning: Planning Policy and Development Control.

Cllr Oliver Hemsley Environment and Transport: Highways, Sustainability, Climate Change, and Waste.

Cllr Rosemary Powell Economy and Place: Economic Development, Heritage, Community Safety, and Active Travel.

Cllr Diane Ellison Adults and Health: Adult Social Care, Public Health, Housing Options, and Homelessness.

Cllr Tim Smith Children, Families and Communities: Safeguarding, SEND and Inclusion, Learning, and Skills.

The timing of this Cabinet reshuffle is particularly critical. Cllr Wise noted that the next two years will be "unlike anything experienced in local government before," as the authority prepares for a wider merger of local councils throughout England.

The Leader outlined four core pillars that will define the Cabinet's success:

Strengthening the local economy to ensure Rutland remains a vibrant place to work and visit.

Supporting vulnerable people through robust social care and housing options.

Protecting the environment by focusing on sustainability and waste management.

Financial sustainability to ensure high-quality services remain viable.

The overarching goal of this new team is to ensure that Rutland’s interests are protected during the transition to any potential new authority. By "locking in" improvements now, the Council aims to ensure that the high standards of service delivery residents currently enjoy will endure long after the current administrative structure changes.

"The decisions we make are more important than ever if we are going to secure the best possible future," said Cllr Wise.

Resignation Calls and Criminal Allegations Rock Oakham Town Council

Resignation Calls and Criminal Allegations Rock Oakham Town Council

A deepening crisis has engulfed Oakham Town Council this week as a sitting councillor called for the immediate resignation of the Town Clerk and a fellow member following a dismissed police investigation. The fallout centers on allegations of "malicious" misconduct and the claimed filing of false reports, leaving the local authority’s reputation in a state of significant disrepair.

The controversy erupted after a Leicestershire Police investigation into a reported burglary at the Town Council building on February 18 was formally closed. In a letter sent to the resident who had been the subject of the report, police confirmed they had verified his attendance at a pre-booked meeting but stated, "At this time, I do not believe there is a need to speak with you in relation to this matter." The investigation, which spanned nearly six weeks, was concluded without charges.

In the wake of the closure, the resident filed a formal complaint against Town Clerk Chris Evans and Councillor Paul Ainsley. He alleges that Cllr Ainsley submitted a police report on behalf of Mr. Evans that he claims contained "false information" intended to mislead both the authorities and the public. According to the complaint, Mr. Evans was allegedly in possession of the facts before the report was made a claim the resident says can be corroborated by both a councillor and the Deputy Clerk.

The ramifications have already extended beyond the council’s walls. A national charity, which had been using the council building for its meetings, was reportedly contacted by police during the investigation. Citing the "potential embarrassment" allegedly caused by the ordeal, the charity has since moved its meetings elsewhere.

The pressure intensified when an Oakham Town Councillor speaking on the condition of anonymity regarding internal deliberations backed the resident's account. The councillor claimed that staff members had signaled there was "no burglary" from the beginning. They further alleged that the report was a "malicious act" prompted by the resident’s previous inquiries into works the resident believes were unauthorised.

"I have called for the resignation of the Clerk and Cllr Ainsley with immediate effect," the councillor stated, adding that the council must now issue the requested formal apology to the resident to mitigate potential legal exposure.

The situation has taken a potentially litigious turn. When the resident approached the Rutland County Council Monitoring Officer, the legal department responded by noting that while the conduct of a Clerk falls outside their remit, the allegations raised appeared to be criminal in nature. The resident has since confirmed he has reported both men to the police for alleged misconduct in public office and wasting police time.

As of today, Oakham Town Council is battling a narrative of dysfunction. The resident’s complaint warns that the council has been brought into disrepute. Both Mr. Evans and Cllr Ainsley were contacted for comment regarding the calls for their resignation and the allegations regarding the police report, but no formal response has been issued at the time of publication.

Oakham Unites in Silent Witness and a Profound Good Friday in the Market Square, Easter Day Service Times across Rutland, video and photos

Oakham Unites in Silent Witness and a Profound Good Friday in the Market Square

In a display of ecumenical unity, residents gathered on the streets of Oakham this Good Friday for the annual Walk of Witness. The silent procession served as a poignant reminder of the solemnity of the day, bringing together various denominations in a shared moment of reflection.

The walk commenced at the Chapel of St John and St Anne, where a simple wooden cross was hoisted to lead the way. The procession wound through the town center,  

The walk culminated at the Buttercross. This year’s open-air service was led by Revd Tom Bowring, Senior Minister of Oakham Baptist Church. Revd Bowring delivered a moving address that touched upon themes of sacrifice, hope, and the strength found in community.

"In a world often fractured, standing here together at the cross reminds us of the love that binds us all," Revd Bowring told the gathered crowd.

The service included hymns and prayers. Following the blessing, the local tradition of fellowship continued as volunteers distributed hot cross buns and good news bibles to onlookers and participants alike, a small but significant gesture of grace shared with the whole community.

As the town prepares for the joy of Easter Sunday, the Walk of Witness remains a cornerstone of Rutland’s Holy Week, proving that the message of Good Friday continues to resonate deeply within the local spirit.

Susannah Fish Sworn In as 627th High Sheriff of Rutland

Susannah Fish Sworn In as 627th High Sheriff of Rutland

Within the ancient, horseshoe-lined walls of Oakham Castle, history turned another page today as the county gathered to witness the installation of the 627th High Sheriff of Rutland.

In a ceremony steeped in tradition, Susannah Fish was officially sworn into the historic role, succeeding Richard Chesterfield. The transition marks the latest chapter in an office that remains the oldest secular appointment under the Crown.

The office of High Sheriff is intrinsically linked to the very ground on which the ceremony took place. Dating back to the construction of Oakham Castle itself, the position serves as the ceremonial head of Law and Order within the county.

While the roots of the office are ancient, the continuity of the roll is remarkable; the position has been a consistent yearly appointment since 1399, when John Whittleborough of Whissendine first took up the mantle. Today’s proceedings saw the ceremonial badge passed from Mr. Chesterfield to Ms. Fish, signaling the formal start of her one-year tenure.

While the role is ceremonial, its modern impact is felt through the Sheriff’s support of the judiciary, the police, and the emergency services. However, for Ms. Fish, the year ahead is primarily about the people of Rutland.

Upon receiving the badge of office, the new High Sheriff expressed her eagerness to engage with the local population. She noted that her primary goal is to meet the "unsung heroes" across the county those individuals and groups who work tirelessly to make a positive difference in their local communities.

"It is a great honor to take on this mantle," Ms. Fish remarked following the ceremony. "I look forward to traveling across this beautiful county and meeting the people who are the backbone of our community life."

As the 627th person to hold the title, Ms. Fish joins a long lineage of public servants. Her term will involve representing the King in matters of law and order and acting as a bridge between the formal institutions of the state and the voluntary sectors that keep Rutland thriving.

As the ceremony concluded and the guests moved out into the Oakham sunshine, the sense of continuity was palpable. In Rutland, at least, the past is never far from the present.
