Police investigate Rutland County Council

The voting on the Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan document was disrupted when a number of councillors walked out the full meeting of Rutland Country Council after allegations of planning fraud according to Martine Brookes who posted after the meeting on his blog, where you can read a more detailed account.

It appears that two UKIP Councillors have reported Rutland Council to the Police over the agreements and sales made between the Rutland County Council, Bellway Homes and Tresham College. Currently the Police are investigating the allegations which the Rutland County Council strongly deny claiming they have been fabricated by the UKIP Councillors.
