BOTH MEETINGS HAVE NOW REACHED CAPACITY
I want to hear your views on the Government’s plans to scrap district councils, small unitary councils like ours, and create new enormous unitary county councils serving 500,000 people.
The proposals put into doubt the future of Rutland as a county council.
I am holding two public meetings to ensure Rutlanders understand what the Government is proposing, the potential outcomes of their proposals as I understand them at this time, and what different stakeholders are proposing in response to the required re-organisations.
Due to such high demand to attend the public meeting on the future of Rutland Council, I have added a second date to ensure everyone can attend who wishes to.
📅 MEETING ONE: Monday 27th January 6 – 7.30pm, Victoria Hall Oakham (FULL)
📅 MEETING TWO: Monday 3rd February 6 – 7.30pm, Victoria Hall Oakham (FULL)
If you’ve registered to attend the first meeting but are available for the second date, please do re-register for meeting two as the number of people RSVP'd for the first is higher than the capacity (sorry it doesn't have an automatic cut out if you hit RSVPs overnight!).
There has been no consultation with our community so I hope this public meeting will explain the process and more importantly give me a chance to hear your views given how significant this re-organisation could be for our county.
I will separately arrange a meeting with residents of Harborough. For Stamford, it is a different situation due to the Mayoralty being proceeded with, I will update you when I know more.
