Antiquated Student - Happy New Year

 Helen Penders Blog Click Here

A plae is being made for local people to stand in the forthcoming Council elections in May - Martin Brookes has all the information on his blog. However following that plea I thought it might, by way of a little New Year hilarity, be amusing to share a face book entry on ex-Councillor Beech's facebook page. In answer to a question about whether Paul Beech had done much external reading on his Criminology course at Leicester University Paul Beech wrote the following reply:


From - Paul Beech

Went into uni last week to collect more books but it just piles up. I haven't had time to type anything up. I'm reading my notes and listening to some seminars I recorded, and it's far too much for an old man - it's a nightmare. Carol and... me are off to a piss-up in a brewery on Friday with a few of my ex army mates, including Brian, so I don't think I'll be doing much studying over the weekend. We are driving down to Dorset on Friday with a couple of nights in a nice hotel and off to the Badger Brewery for a mates 60th birthday on Saturday. The daytime won't be sober either. It's not all bad though, I'll be pretty senceless on Monday when I have my shoulder injected to rid it of the pain, not that after the weekend it's likely to have any feeling in it anyway. When you asked about external reading, did you mean outside. It's been raining here and I thought the pages would get wet.

If antiquated students of this calibre are gaining entry to University then perhaps we are right to limit student intake.

Rutland County Council Closure Museum and Library, Customer Services Closure 20th January

Rutland County Council will grind to a halt Thursday morning, All Rutland County Council departments including the Museum and Library will be closed the official statement is:

Please be advised that on Thursday January 20th, Customer Services will be closed between 9.15am and 10.45am. This is to allow the Customer Service Team to attend essential training.

I have been told all Rutland County Staff have been summoned to a meeting to be told what cuts will be implemented, after the public question time Wednesday. The member of  staff told me the cuts are so drastic they are scared of their own shadow following them. Concerns have also been raised regarding the Public Question Time and how valid this meeting is. Is it purely theatrical drama? It appears one of the Councils committees have already discussed the cuts and the document is awaiting approval by the full council.
