Waitrose Will Not Be Coming To Oakham, No gift for Rutland County Council
Waitrose Will Not Be Coming To Oakham
Waitrose have pulled out of negotiations with Tresham and will now no longer be planning to build on the site.
My personal view was why did we need a store that promised to match Tesco prices?
We desperately need a store to compete against Tesco and that is a not a dig at Tesco, it could be any store in the town. Competition is a good thing for all.
I wonder how Rutland County Council will now fund its college move to Barleythorpe, because it most certainly did not take a genious to work out why the council were so keen to support Waitrose, A local paper recently published Tresham would be giving the council a gift of money? if the sale went through? Sounded a bit dodgy to me. I wonder if the John Lewis Partnership choked on a 'essential Waitrose' pasty when they read that or was it the style the VIP's portrayed when they held a reception at the Whipper Inn and the guests swilled pints rather than the usual glasses of wine preferred by the partners of John Lewis
If we a lucky we might get some more houses, can't wait to find out who Tresham and the Council have lined up as its next victim.
Sainsbury?

Roger Begy OBE leader of Rutland County Council Conservative Bully? Standard for England Report
Roger Begy OBE leader of Rutland County Council Would you Vote for a Conservative Bully like this? Standards for England Report:Case Summary - Rutland County Council
Case no. | SBE-06880-YMBGV SBE-07068-2XX5G |
Member(s): | Councillor Roger Begy |
Date received: | 14 Aug 2009 |
Date completed: | 12 Nov 2009 |
Allegation:
The member failed to treat others with respect.Standards Board outcome:
The ethical standards officer found that the member failed to comply with the Code, but in the circumstances of the case, no further action needed to be taken.Case Summary
The complainant alleged that Councillor Roger Begy failed to treat her with respect at two public events.The complainant alleged Councillor Begy raised his hand toward her in a menacing manner at a public meeting held on 13 June 2009. She also alleged that Councillor Begy called her a ‘prat’ while attending the opening ceremony of Oakham’s newly built public toilets on 22 June 2009.
On 13 June 2009 Councillor Begy waved his finger in front of the complainant’s face while being critical of her. However, the ethical standards officer did not consider that he did so in a menacing manner. The ethical standards officer did consider that during the conversation Councillor Begy mimicked the complainant’s voice and actions in a manner that was unnecessarily rude.
On 22 June 2009 Councillor Begy, on seeing the complainant appear wearing a large placard that was critical of Rutland County Council, said ‘Oh god, what a prat.’
The ethical standards officer considered that Councillor Begy’s conduct had fallen below that expected of an elected member and that he had failed to treat the complainant with respect
on both
13 June 2009 and 22 June 2009.
However, the ethical standards officer noted the context in which Councillor Begy’s conduct took place and accepted it had not been his intention to deliberately offend the complainant. The ethical standards officer considered it important that Councillor Begy has recognised that some of his behaviour was not appropriate and regretted any offence his actions may have caused. In these circumstances, the ethical standards officer considered that no further action need be taken.
Relevant paragraphs of the Code of Conduct
The allegations in the case relate to paragraph 3(1) of the Code of Conduct. Paragraph 3(1) states that a member must “treat others with respect”.
