Ecoterrorists win the Day

With the results of the Rutland county council elections now in it seems there is no change in the running of the council. The ecoterrorists have one the day and the destruction of beautiful Rutland will continue unabated in the name of business and greed.

All we can expect form the new council is more of the same. The destruction of that which makes Rutland one of the most beautiful places in England by overdevelopment. Rutland is rural and should be proud of it. We should do all we can to preserve it for our children and their children. The result in the local elections is a big yes to developments like Hawksmead. This company will now have the mandate to go ahead with it's destruction of the countryside to the north west of Oakham. We already know the council are withholding information about this development so it is clear they don't want us to know the truth.

But what choice did we have is the question? There were only two of the national parties standing in Rutland, even the two towns there were no Labour candidates. Nether of the two national parties had any form real green polices to protect the countryside from the developers. In fact the Conservatives are just a bunch of Ecoterrorists and the Lib Dem puppets are not much better. The Independents are alright but they need to organize themselves into some form of grouping and put there common message across. There is no reason they couldn't find a enough common ground to form a county based party. They must have more less broad views on education, transport, planning and what is good for Rutland without having a party type whip so they can remain independent.

For me the local elections were a waste of time. Nobody came and asked my view about anything. It is no wonder people are turned off from politics when even the local council candidates can't be bothered to ask you what you think. They are so out of touch with the things that matter to the people they represent because they are just to disinterested to ask them. Something needs to change before the next council elections in Rutland. We need people that will canvas our views and listen to us so they can't shape Rutland the way the people want it. We need people that love Rutland for what it is and keep it beautiful and to care about the people that live in one of the most lovely places in England.
