Rutland Radio Happy 18th Birthday, Old Timer Writes Begging Letter To Santa

Rutland Radio Happy 18th Birthday, Old Timer Writes Begging Letter To Santa


















Is it time for another Ice Bucket Challenge? last seen 2015



This week Rutland Radio celebrates 18 years broadcasting to
the people of Rutland and Stamford.

I have only listened for the last 10 and enjoy the many quirks
of my favorourite local radio station.

Of course there is a certain time of the year which I and many
others dread. The lead up to Christmas.

This year the repeated twice daily torture, which blasts from
our radios has prompted on of Rob's Older listeners from burghley
to write to Santa, requesting Santa delivers early gifts to all 2 listeners,
ear defenders. Rob read out the letter which
was written in the form of a poem.

The twice daily torture I am referring to, the best Rutland
Breakfast presenter singing Sleeps to Santa.

The singing is not to bad, it is the dreadful backing track
that becomes my early morning alarm clock. It is the only
alarm that can get me out of bed. I switch it off and make
a cup off coffee and just as if Rob knows many of might
be doing this we are are treated to a live repeat at 8.30am

Last Christmas year Rob took a day off and there was no
escape from Sleeps to Santa, Joseph Begley who can not
sing took to the airwaves never to be repeated?




















Joseph Begley (left)


If Rutland Radio were ever to move to DAB, I wonder if there
would be some sort of noise cancelling technology included?

To celebrate 18 great years Rob and the team will be out on the
road tomorrow visiting shops in Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham
and randomly paying for peoples shopping.

Rob I will be in Cavells buying a new wardrobe? what lovely
compensation that would be for year of Christmas torture :-)

I wish all at Rutland Radio a Happy Birthday and a Happy Christmas
and thank's Rob and his team for all the time they give supporting many
community events throughout the year.

Stephen Wigmore Closing His Northgate Gallery To Pursue Music Oakham Rutland





Stephen will be moving out of the gallery at the end of the month. He will be having a massive closing down sale. Literally every piece of art in there has to go- Every painting, every framed drawing, every loose drawing or sketch,every cartoon-it all has to go. Heavily discounted-of course. There are several new pieces too. He will be there for the next two weeks 10am-4pm
He would like to thank everyone for their support over the last ten years as a full-time artist-especially customers and collectors.

He is looking forward to the next ten years as a full-time musician and part-time artist.

Oakham Neighbourhood Plan Oakham Town Council Budget Increase and Failure to Apply for Grants

Oakham Neighbourhood Plan Oakham Town Council Budget Increase and Failure to Apply for Grants

For nearly a year Oakham Town Council has been working with a limited number of
people from the community to produce a neighbourhood plan. We are not anywhere near the
stage that other council would at, at this time. A lot of public money has been wasted.
on so little. Now Cllr Haley who is running the show and excludes resident he does not like
from being involved in the plan, inclusion of all is a vital elliment of the preperation of the
plan. Even though Melton's was rejected for failing on inclusion Cllr Haley still refuses to permit
all residents to take part. I understand not all would want to be involved but when they offer
they should not be ordered to leave a public meeting or told becasue they are excluded from
Council working groups they are also excluded from their neighbourhood plan.



Dear Cllr Michael Haley

in the draft budget you have put a figure of £10000 in the estimate for the N Plan

in your agenda item you ask for an increase of £9500 this figure is then used to
set the demand from the tax payers it does not take into consideration the
the sum of the grant application of £6,500

So once again residents are being asked to over pay like the cemetery as
another example.

As for Grant Application it is appalling that the N Plan steering group has delayed
applying for the many grants that were available.

If you had attended the events put on the LRRCC at RCC early last year you
would have heard that some grants would not be available after 2016.

Also the LRRCC poiunted out they were not the only organisations who
could assist with the Neighbourhood Plan process. Has the steering group
approached any of the other organisations to find costings.

I have observed what the group has done so far and most of what I have seen
is not relevant to preparing the plan. When you learnt you needed to engage the
public after the Melton issue you went out on the street and repeated your
first activity over and over. Showing a map and asking people to write on
Post-it notes.

A lot of the requests made by the public on these post-it's would be relevant if the
town council was producing a plan for the council which it seems to think it
does not need or even a town plan. both of which would probably be of more benefit for
the residents we are meant to serve.

I was also astonished to hear your response to the public when they said the
pack containing a map made no sense. You said  it was delibrate and intended to
be that way, to engage the public. Really? you wasted thousands of pounds of
tax payers money to get them to engage!

From

Martin Brookes Cllr OSE
