Cllr Nick Woodley Appointed to Rutland County Councils Oakham Task and Finish Group as Oakham Town Councils Representative

Cllr Nick Woodley Appointed to Rutland County Councils Oakham Task and Finish Group as Oakham Town Councils Representative.

Nick Woodley is one of the Oakham South East Ward Councillors. I believe he will represent the council well and the resident in our ward the rest of the town.

Cllr Anne Skipworth attempted nomination and gave an interesting irrelevant speech, she also raised a concern about the lack of woman on the group. I don't believe it matters if it is a woman or man.
The person should be appointed based on their merit. It made me think should we be demanding
ethnic minorities, LGBT people, disabled etc?

Before the meeting I had asked another female councillor if she wanted to be nominated and she responded she was to busy to commit to the time required.

Cllr Adam Lowe attempted nomination and expressed his passion for the town.

The Chairman used his casting vote which saw Cllr Nick Woodley appointed.
