Cllr Alf Dewis, Former Oakham Mayors, Jubilee Oak Donation,
Costs Tax Payer More than Donation
Oakham's Boss Cllr Alf Dewis Former Mayor and unelected chairman
of another non democratic club The Oakham Town Partnership.
He once dressed in a ATC uniform not sure what happened there
He was once a CAB volunteer and he became the first Mayor
not to take his place on their committee. It's believed they may
have asked him to leave?
In 2012 his Town Partnership decided to launch the Jubilee Oaks Scheme
for Rutland. A town partnership is not restricted by the local government
act which say a parish council can only fund things within their parish.
The Town Partnership can use public money as it pleases.
The partnership asked members of the public to sponsor 60 Oaks
at £60 a tree.

Planting trees in my book is a good thing
Accept when its the former Oakham Mayors and costs the tax payer a lot more
than his sponsorship to plant the tree.
Cllr Lockett raised the issue of the high cost of planting six tree's in Cutts Close
one donated by Cllr Dewis. Cllr Lucas respond by saying "The cost was high because
the trees were big and needed a big hole"
Each tree costing around £150 each to plant.
Why is the Town Council sponsoring and paying for these trees to be planted in
2014.
Is this a Oakham Town Partnership Stock Clearance?
I am sure this is a blatant misuse of public money,
This sort of personal expenditure by the Oakham Boss could even
be criminal if localism act is applied.
It won't because this is Rutland....
Is this why Cllr Joyce Lucas suddenly resigned as tree warden?
Lets hope Cllr Dewis gets his fat cheque out and repays the
tax payer his share of the cost of planting his families tree.
