How Strike Action Wednesday 30th will effect Oakham and Rutland Primary, Secondary schools and Rutland County Council

Members of various unions have balloted for strike action on Wednesday 30 November 2011.


It is difficult to predict in advance which council services will be affected but Rutland County Council is making every effort to ensure essential services continue as normal as much as possible.
It would be helpful if residents would consider delaying non-essential council business until Thursday 1 December.  This would greatly assist staff who are working to prioritise essential services.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this might cause.

Disruption to Council Services

Any changes to council services as a result of strike action will be published  Wednesday 30 November.  
You are also urged to check the council Twitter account @rutlandcouncil and listen to Rutland Radio (107.2FM and 97.4FM)
