Stop Rutland Councillors ignoring our voices, stop the new development for vote

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We have thousands of people who speak for Oakham sick of being ignored by the failing council. We don't have a say on any plans and our opinions fall on death ears where money is concerned, our hospitals and schools are at capacity with a month long waiting list just for a telephone call
The council have ignored the people and the people have had enough, we request a re election of all chair members freezing any development and applications until a vote amongst the tax paying people have decided what they want in their town
