It's a Done Deal

According to the headline on this weeks Rutland and Stamford Mercury "Officials back 1,100 - home plan". It looks like it is a done deal as far as the paper is concerned and I agree with them. The developers of the Hawksmead development know they have done enough to convince the majority of the councillors this is financially beneficial to the funding of the council. 

So what can we do, well the answer is very little. The truth is the decision will probably have already been taken in private before the council meeting considers it on Monday. The only thing left to do is to turn up at this Mondays county council meeting at 6pm and make your view known. The developers clearly think the people of Rutland want this but when you talk to people on the streets and they actually spend a few minutes thinking about this they see it is a disaster for Oakham and Rutland. Especially now with shops going and people are losing there jobs.
