This evening, Alicia Kearns MP held her second public meeting at Victoria Hall in Oakham, Rutland, addressing a packed audience eager to engage in discussions about the future of their community.
Alicia Kearns and members of the public were greeted by the presence of a lone protestor from Stamford, who ardently voiced objections to the recent planning decision made by Rutland County Council regarding the Quarry Farm housing development.
This demonstration underscores the changing climate in Rutland, where protests from groups and individuals against Rutland County council decisions are becoming increasingly common and reflect growing public dissent.
Among the many attendees was Councillor Samantha Harvey, Vice Chairman of Rutland County Council, who raised a concern about the upcoming special meeting at Rutland County Council scheduled for the 11th February at the council offices. She expressed her apprehension over the lack of communication from residents, highlighting that she had yet to receive any feedback leading up to her five-minute speaking slot. The Vice Chairman stressed that she hoped to include community voices in her remarks, rather than solely reflecting her own opinions. Email: sharvey@rutland.gov.uk
