Mr. Ainsley stated, "It is with sadness that I announce Sylvia Pryer's decision to step down from her role as an Oakham Town councillor due to health challenges."
Despite the necessity of her resignation, Cllr Pryer remains optimistic about her future health and has expressed hope of potentially returning to her civic duties when her health allows. This positive outlook in the face of adversity has been noted and appreciated by her fellow councillors and the Town Clerk.
