Oakham Town Council Harassment
All the above is real harassment, all the letters photographed represent some of the harrasment I have been subjected to before and after my election to the dysfunctional authority known as Oakham Town Council.
All these letters were recieved over a two day period.
All relating to complaints from
Cllr Alf Dewis
Cllr Charles Haworth
Town Clerk Richard White
ex Cllr Harrison
ex Cllr Paul Beech
ex Cllr Alan Kelly
Community Street Warden Melton Doris Cook
I am not sure what these people think they will achieve, Cllr Haworth and ex Cllr Beech have the cheek to go hand in hand to the police and ask them to issue a stage 1 harassment order against me.
I read Mr Harrison's Blog and look back at the comments made by Mr Beech online and think I should do the same but some how I don't even think Oakham police will assist.
Oakham Town Council support harassment, bullying, intimidation and homophobic behaviour, I don't use the homophobic tag for no good reason. The events that followed my birthday party were clearly homophobic. Also more recently the despicable actions of Cllr Lucas.
How can a photograph of a drag artist on my blog bring the position of Councillor and the Council into
disrepute. I can wait see the bigoted reaction of Cllrs Dewis and Lucas. After they see my blog about London Pride at the weekend.
Rutland County Council also support the same.

Oakham Town Council what rules?
Dear Members
Although I first agreed to next weeks agenda item regarding my appointment. To the Festival Committee. I have checked standing orders and after reading carefully the Rescission of Previous Resolution order, I see we can not just add this item to the agenda. 5 members need to change their minds and write a special resolution, the written notice whereof shall bear the names of at least five members of the Council
before the meeting.
I suggest Cllr Dewis, Cllr Haworth and Cllr Lucas wont have trouble doing this.
If standing orders are not followed then I am afraid the committee is stuck with me and no one from the council will be able to see if the tax payers money is spent correctly.
I think this is another clear example of how the council feels standing orders don't apply to Oakham Town Council.
Copy of order below
from
Cllr Martin Brookes
Rescission of Previous Resolution
35 (a) A decision (whether affirmative or negative) of the Council shall not be debated by Council within six months save by special resolution, the written notice whereof shall bear the names of at least five members of the Council.
(b) When a special resolution or any other resolution moved under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Order has been disposed of, no similar resolution may be moved within a further six months.
(c) This Standing Order shall not apply to resolutions moved in pursuance of the report or the recommendation of a committee.

Oakham Town Council Closed!
A quote from a new Cllr Published Date: 22 October 2008
"I would like to see an increased level of openess and debate in the decision making process, I feel a lack of debate has given many residents the impression that Oakham Town Council never do anything constructive. I don't think that is a fair reflection."
Something that has not change very much since. The Council is still not open and as for debate what a joke, this Cllr won't even let you make a proposal when he is in the chair.
I would like to place a link to the minutes, it appears they are not all available on the Council web site.
I also notice there are no minutes for the staffing committee meetings held this year?
http://www.oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk/agendas%20and%20minutes.asp
I post the link and when the clerk can be bothered, he might add them.

Oakham Festival Committee
Oakham Town Council elected me to represent the Council on the Committee of The Oakham Festival.
After the chair Joy Everett was shown e-mails from another Councillor, the committee stated I was not wanted.
Oakham Town Council is very keen to appoint a member, as one of the larger sponsors using tax payers money it needs to be seen spending the money it receives from tax payers responsibly.
I sense the Council has possibly been advised by the auditor, money should not be handed out to organisation without a clear purpose, there is talk of Oakham Town Council only sponsoring an single event.
After consideration I agree the Council needs to appoint a representative and at the next Council meeting 7th July I will be proposing Cllr lorna Grey is appointed, Councillor will if seconded vote on this proposal. If the proposal is not seconded I will invoke the six month rule. I feel this may need to be revoked before we can even discuss this appointment.
I am very disappointed.
I received a telephone call from the town clerk and the item has been placed on next weeks agenda, he asked if I could call into the office to confirm this would be ok.
I visited the office and as I entered he through his arms up in despair when he saw I had arrived. I find it hard to believe he had forgotten he had only minutes before invited me!

Royce Recreation Ground Complaints
Good Morning Cllr Lucas and Members
Thank you for your email. I am pleased to read you have also reported the notice board damage. I was not sure who is responsible for the repairs of these boards.
If I need advice in the future I will come straight to you, Joyce the Encyclopedia of local info, news, gossip and slander.
Members may remember a resident writing to the council complaining about Royce Rec and the anti social behaviour in our ward. The Chair read the letter in a dismissive manner at the council meeting omitting the names and address the response was why does she live there and is always complaining rather thoughtless I think. Councillor of this ward I should have received a copy. Silly me to even to think the council would even give me something that would assist me carry out my duties as a councillor.
Yesterday I met this resident who is now moving and told me she never received a reply from the council, to be honest I am not surprised.This resident is married with children and a hard working family and had genuine concerns about the area not just another serial complainer as portrayed at the council meeting. Although it is not our fault we are responsible for a magnet for anti social behaviour and we should listen and try to assist residents when they raise concerns and not dismiss them. Of course this does raise the issue of the purpose of Oakham Town Council as we do not have the powers to do anything about this anti social behaviour that makes life's of all the residents who live near Royce Recreation ground so miserable.
Just to let you know, I will not be attending cabinet meeting at RCC, I find it strange how you and Cllr Dewis started to attend meetings I attend. Rutland County Council will tell anyone, no one ever turned up for meetings such as the cabinet. I see you and Cllr Dewis attending these meetings as harassment against me. I am sure your friends will be pleased to see you, Joyce but make sure you take your own refreshments the coffee is not for the public consumption, Begys order. And Mr Baines reminded you the other day when you took over his job, you are just a member of the pubic at these meetings.
Cllr Lucas at the parish forum your behaviour was somewhat bizarre, I could not believe your public announcement as you entered the forum, I am not sitting with Oakham Town Council, it made you look silly.. it also showed a lack of professionalism. A big change from the first meeting I attended when you privately asked us all to sit together to show unity. For me it was a pleasure to sit with Cllr Grey and the Cllrs of Langham Parish Council.

If you wish to see the guide of events for young people in Rutland this year please visit.
www.rutland.gov.uk/education
While Rutland County have produced this guide, they say responsibility for running the activity lies with the provider of each activity.
Parents and carers need to be sure they are satisfied that the activity provider meets the needs of their child and the correct procedures are in place.
It is recommended that parents and carers seek evidence that adults interacting with children during activities hold a current Criminal Records Bureau Check (CRB) and that the provider has suitably qualified staff, policies, procedures, insurance and registration in place for the activity being provided.
Rutland County Council does not guarantee that any of the activities included in this brochure are suitable for any particular child or young person.

estimates the population for an area, which
in turn determines the funding that local authorities
receive to fund services

response rate of 94%
however some communities recorded very low
response rates, which had a potentially adverse
effect on funding

The Hurt Locker (15)
Thursday 22nd July 2010 7.30 pm
An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

Oakham Castle
Oakham Castle is famous for being the home of Rutland's historic collection of over 200 horseshoes....
but did you know that the Great Hall is one of the finest surviving examples of Norman domestic architecture in England?
Why the horseshoe
These were given to the Lord of the Manor by royalty and peers of the realm on their first visit to Oakham. This is unique custom of 500 years old and continues today.
The oldest horseshoe was presented by Edward IV in 1470.
You can get married in the castle

Once again well done Oakham in Bloom another grand job done but why do we have to have these awful signs that detract from your good work. The leader of Rutlland County Council has stated publicly there are to many signs in the county probably one of the few things I agree with.
I see clearly this sign contains a memorial for two local residents, I am don't disrespecting their memory. I am sure this will be said. I have been critical of these signs since you spoilt the work along Burley Road with Kitchen adverts that you need to stand in the road to read.
a small sign on the wall may have been more appropriate.
I wonder why you need planning permission for a temporary banner and no such planning permission for this type of permanent sign. Each year I like to photograph the Boat at Stamford Road I have not done so this year because Discover Rutland Sign is blocking the shot.

Leicester Police Corrupted by Oakham Town Council
I wonder why Oakham police support Oakham Town Council and its past members.
They feel it is acceptable to give Ex Cllr Jim Harrison information regarding their work so he can publish it on his blog.
He publishes the police gave a me caution for posting porn on the notice board, another false claim it was not porn. It was two small images the police said were offensive, images of a human backside one had piles and the other had a carrot stuck inside. Both sent to me by a local person along with other offensive hate mail to me. As the police took no action and the Town Clerk was crying like a baby I was bullying him on my blog, I chose the least offensive images to show the public the extent these people will go to. I felt confident these images were not illegal because the police had examined them twice in the past and told me they were not offensive.
The notice was not seen by many people, most people don't read notices a few more adults did read my notice once Cllr Lucas shouted to people passing to come and view, If I had posted porn as Mr Harrison said why would Cllr Lucas want so many people to see it?
When a person is cautioned details are not released by the police, you can see this clearly in the local press, names are not published because the police can not give that information. I don't mind saying I accepted a caution it was the easy option because no one wanted this to go to court, because I was willing to take this to trial. Because I still believe I did not knowingly commit any crime. Why was Mr Harrison given details of my caution by the police? maybe they can answer me, they tell me they read my blog.
The police have not taken any action when Mr Harrison published false allegations suggesting I am a risk to young people. His blog is real harassment and endangers me personally. It is very unsettling and I fear walking around Oakham being called what Mr Harrison is suggesting in his blog. I notice Mr Harrison takes photographs of children, I would not suggest he is a risk but he know the dangers if someone published this suggestion. His publications clearly suggest I am, this is clearly harassment and bullying. He approves and publishes comments on his blog like "I would not let my children near him" this man is scum, yes Mr Harrison I call you this, I can not believe a former respected army man, councillor and Mayor can behave in this way. You know the danger you are placing me in.
Also the recent comments made to the public by Cllr Lucas are similar to Mr Harrison's false claim.
I took my computer to the front desk of Oakham Police Station to show Mr Harrison blog the officer told me it is very clear what Mr Harrison is suggesting I asked to report the crime and was told "I have instructions you should be referred to Sergeant Dickinson, he is not available until next week? why can a police officer be told not to accept a report from me?
Cllr Martin Brookes
Helen Pender can see the double standards and published the following on her blog. Be careful Helen they will come knocking at your door with a harassment order.

I have just received the following email from Martin Brookes:
"Standards Complaint Charles Haworth
Mr Haworth abused his position as a councillor he used his position to influence the police and along with ex Cllr Beech asked the police to issue a stage one harassment order against me.
I feel this is due to the amendment of the which now show Cllr Haworth obstructed me at a previous meeting.
Cllr Howarth is able to influence the police because of his connection with JAG
I of course exercised my right to refuse acceptance of the notices."
If true this is outrageous. Can anyone recommend a decent out of area human rights lawyer prepared to work pro bono - this tyranny is so out of hand that it beats the comedy evening at the Merry Monk last night.
Considering Jim Harrison's posts about Martin Brookes this smacks of double standards of such an order that it beggars belief anyone at all can justify it.

Cllr Charles Haworth Open Letter Oakham Town Council
Dear Mr Haworth,
I find it very strange, you claim I am harassing you and abuse police resources.
Have you forgot you breached standing orders at a town council meeting this month.
Yes it is a breach for the chairman of the meeting to not to allow a member to make a proposal.
Fortunately last week Cllrs agreed this happened and accepted an amendment to the minutes.
Your use of Oakham police along with Mr Beech to attempt to serve a stage 1 harassment order against me was a abuse of your position on the police committee JAG. I will continue to blog your harassment, I don't lie, like your ex councillor friends and forum mates. Jim Harrisons blog is currently the most serious example of harassment.
You have constantly harassed me you were asked to arrange a ward walk with me,by Cllr Lucas you went ahead and arranged it without consulting me and deliberately arranged it for a day you knew I was going to be visiting the job centre in Leicester.
When I think of the many times I have complained at the police station about you and your friends and no action was taken.
You have fully supported Cllr Dewis's harassment, by supporting his motion to obstruct my work as a councillor by attempting to exclude me from the council office. You had the cheek to sit at the meeting and suggest "I could bully the Town Clerk Alison Greaves and she needed protecting from me."
Cllr Alf Dewis is also a member of the same police committee along with Cllr Joyce Lucas all three of you abuse this contact with the police. Often when I have made complaints Inspector Monks has written and said this is not a police matter, but a matter for standards. I suggest you wait for all the complaints made by you and your friends are dealt with in the correct manner. I consider you using the police to stop me in the street is another form of your harassment against me.
No wonder Cllr Dewis does not want to loose the appointment and suggests an appointment that has always been a elected appointment is now by police invitation only. This clearly shows the police are involved in local politics and should not be. What gives them the right to say who the local council sends to sit on any of their committees. I don't want the appointment, I think people will understand what I am trying to say.
Your harassment continued at council meetings when you blocked all my attempt to offer to sit on outside bodies. It is not as if you could get out of bed to attend any of the meetings. This is not harassment because each time I have visited your home, your mother would say your are in bed, She would say "Hes not up today you should come back around 6 pm he should be up by then." You are a bully because I saw how you pushed your mother out of the way saying "get in there" to her when I called around a few weeks ago.
Your friend Mr Beech needs to be reminded I traced his IP address and posted it online, when he was posting abuse in my forum. Then he ran to the police shouting arrest him! data protection. Why would the police arrest a man who identifies a man who is harassing him.
You need to think very carefully and look at what harassment is look at your forum posts and the offensive dribble you wrote under the assumed name Lardboy.

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
