PUBLIC MEETING: Monday 27th January 6-7.30pm, Victoria Hall Oakham

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 want to hold a public meeting 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.

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 focused on the risk of Leicester city expansion into our area. For Stamford, it is a different situation due to the Mayoralty being proceeded with, I will update you when I know more.

Preventing Theft from a Vehicle

Having your car broken into and losing your things to thieves can be very distressing. Here are a few simple steps you can take to keep your vehicle, and what’s in it, safe.
• Always lock your vehicle.
• Close all the windows fully.
• Secure your number plates with tamper-resistant screws.
• Fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts to secure alloy wheels.
• Secure anything that’s on the outside of your vehicle.
• Take it with you or hide it – don’t leave personal belongings in the vehicle and if you must, not on display.
• Hide electrical items like Sat Navs and phone accessories, leave no clues.
• Park in well-lit, busier areas with CCTV where possible and choose your carpark wisely.
