Oakham Town Council, Planning Sub Committee, Agenda 14th August 2014

The sub committee has met twice once at 6pm the meeting strangely lasted 5 minutes.

I and another member of public attempted to attend and due to work arrived just as the meeting had ended.
Cllr Stan Stubbs said "we can have meetings when we want, and any way no one attends!"

The obnoxious Tory forgets he serves the people of Oakham and not himself.

Another took place last week, it was not minuted or advertised despite their own terms of reference
stating the law requires all meetings must be open to the public and advertised. The Clerk says this is fine because it was informal he would, would n't he?

The public only heard of this meeting after Cllr Stan Stubs slipped up and made it public at the last meeting.

Cllr Leane Martin now chairs this committee and appears to have ignored requests from Councillors not to hold day time meetings, She told me the time would be convenient for her and other mums. Being a mum and Councillor can not be easy and has clearly effected Cllr Martin's attendance at full council meetings.

Her employer maybe fine with her taking time off school, although it's currently holiday time, I am sure any resident who wants to attend to raise an issue or hear their application heard may not be so lucky.
