2011 Virgin London Marathon

17 April 2011

The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall.

Oakham resident Paul Neehuis (dj neenoo) will be taking part in this years Virgin London Marathon on 17th April 2011 and will running on behalf of LOROS

LOROS (The Leicestershire and Rutland Organisation for the Relief of Suffering) is a local charity dedicated to providing the highest standard of care and support for terminally ill patients and thier families.

It costs LOROS well over £7 million, to provide this care and this amount rises annually, and although a part of this sum is granted to them by the NHS, it still leaves a staggering amount to be raised by the many supporters and volunteers who do so much for LOROS.

Paul is busy training he has given up the booze and fags and hope all his hard work will raise at least £2,000

If you are a local buisness Paul is looking for a sponser(s) to advertise on his kit.

Rutland County Council Finds £1 million!

Rutland County Council finds one millions pounds, but this won't stop the cuts.
is published on the front page of today's Rutland Times.

I noticed at Mondays budget meeting there had been changes made to the figures, I did not realise it amounted to this much.

Where did they find it?

How much more money is lost or unaccounted for.

We were told jokingly, Chief Executive Helen Briggs does not keep the cash in her office.

Did they find it up  the leaders shirt, I always wondered about the large bulge.

Public money is nothing to joke about and £1 million is not the petty cash for a council the size of Rutland.

What is going on at Rutland County Council?

Does Helen Briggs know what she is doing? surely she should know how much public money the council is entrusted to keep.

Her home economics degree obviously did not stretch as far as looking after the finances.

She can't remember how much she is paid or how much money has been recovered from Iceland.

Roger Begy OBE Leader of Rutland County County Council's Budget Speech.

I was hoping to publish a copy of Conservative Leader of Rutland County Council budget speech.

Unfortunately Rutland County Council can not provide a copy of this document because Roger Begy has binned it himself.

Best place for it!!!!

I can not believe such an important record is not kept.

To Martin Brookes

Hello Mr Brookes.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you sooner.  Unfortunately, Mr Begy has disposed of his speech and has not made a copy.

"We are lean and mean," enthuses chief executive, Helen Briggs, Rutland County Council

"We are lean and mean," enthuses chief executive Helen Briggs, who lives in Oakham.at the 10th Anniversary of Rutlands Independance,

If Rutland County Council was lean and mean then, what is it now?  Mean and Evil?

Now I understand the reason why these good people give me so much grief.

Good grief why do we put up with this woman.

We were lied to about her pay, by Conservative Council Leader Roger Begy at the public meeting, does he think we are stupid?

All websites that list Council staff who are paid more than our Prime Minister list her as earning £129,000

There is now a huge reduction shown on the Councils own site this year.

Helen Briggs said While 19 of the 26 councillors are Conservatives, Briggs finds it hard to detect party allegiances. She says: "I would describe them as members who are passionate about issues, and not political in a party political sense - passionate about doing the right thing for Rutland."

Has she never looked at the voting records.

And the public are not blind.

I hope the large amount of public who were at lasts nights council meeting remember their comments and vote out this Conservative mob on May 5th

Ex Councillor Mr Jim Harrison in the past said of Rutland County Council:

"I was always against the idea from the outset," he says. "I said it would cost us more money - and so it has. Nothing good has come of it."
