Residents are being encouraged to show their support for the British Armed Forces by attending a special flag raising event at Oakham Castle
Residents are being encouraged to show their support for the British Armed Forces by attending a special flag raising event at Oakham Castle on Monday 19th June. 10.15am
The short flag raising ceremony marks the start of Armed Forces Week 2017, with national celebrations taking place throughout the week thereafter, building up to Armed Force Day on 24th June.
Armed Forces Day has been celebrated across the UK since 2006 and commemorates all the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets.
Councillor Richard Foster served as an officer in the RAF for 35 years and is an Armed Forces Champion for Rutland County Council.
“Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for us to say a very public thank-you to those who make up the Armed Forces Community – from serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets. Rutland is fortunate to have more than 1,000 servicemen and women based here in the county and we are extremely grateful for all they do – not just in defence of our country but also for what they contribute to our local communities. Rutland will do its part by joining hundreds of local authorities in raising the Armed Forces flag on 19th June and I would encourage as many people as possible join us and attend this important event.”
Councillor Richard Foster, Armed Forces Champion
Rutland’s Armed Forces Day flag will be raised by a party from 7th Regiment the Royal Logistic Corps, who are currently based at Kendrew Barracks, Cottesmore.
The ceremony will begin at 10.15am with short addresses from Council Chairman Kenneth Bool and Armed Forces Champion Richard Foster, followed by prayers lead by The Reverend Brian Nicholls, Chaplain to the Royal British Legion.
“Armed Forces Day this year has a special significance for Rutland as we prepare to bid farewell to 2 Royal Anglian Regiment, who will shortly be leaving Kendrew barracks to be replaced by the Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment. I would like to wish the Poachers all the very best ahead of their move and thank them for all they done for the county. We also look forward to welcoming the Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment later this year and continue to prepare for their arrival.”
Councillor Richard Foster
Armed Forces Day takes place on Saturday 24th June, with nearby events in Leicester, Peterborough and Market Harborough.

Oakham Town Centre 2018 Rutland County Council Improvement Scheme
Oakham Town Centre 2018 Rutland County Council Improvement Scheme
Rutland County Council is proposing to transform Oakham Town Centre
in 2018
This Wednesday Rutland County Council will be starting a public consultation
in the market place.
Once again Oakham Town Council proves it serves no purpose to the people
of Oakham.
Oakham Town Council has not contributed to the two proposal the County
Council is putting to the people
In February this year Cllr Michael Haley attended a meeting at Rutland
County Council with another member and it would seem he felt that
there was nothing of interest for the Town Council to consider.
He or the other member did not report anything to the Council.
The matter has not been put on this weeks agenda.
The leader of Rutland County Council tells me there was another
meeting in April and a third proposal was dropped. No one from
Oakham Town Council attended that meeting.
I wonder why the Cllr Haley the deputy Chairman decided not to
let the Council know what was going on?
I think it is a disgrace that Oakham Town Council has not been involved in
this major project.
Cllr Haley is currently causing havoc with the Neighbourhood plan
the last month saw the resignation of a Rutland County Council Representative
Oliver Bird, who now says the Plan is not community led as it should be it
is led by the town council. I would say it is led by Cllr Haley Oakham Town
Council receives very poor reports and spending requests from him.
This week we have been told the Chairman is resigning, it is normal for
Neighbourhood Chairman to stay in place until the plan is completed.
Cllr Haley the kind Councillor is now our Mayor and only writes to me
to be rude or to instruct me to jump out in front of a bus.
Cllr Haley likes to do everything, when a working group is set up he refuses
to organise a meeting and goes on holiday and delays a persons project because
he is away, its a shame he did not stay away.
