The next Oakham South Surgery has been confirmed for the first Saturday in July.

Continuing their series of monthly surgeries, Liberal Democrat Councillors Paul Browne, Diane Ellison and Ray Payne look forward to chatting to constituents at their upcoming surgery.

These surgeries allow residents to voice any concerns that they have about the local area, including but not limited to infrastructure, maintenance, management and more.

Cllr Ray Payne said: "All are welcome, it really doesn’t matter what the issue might be will do our best to address it, or find someone who does know the answer."

The month surgeries take place on the first Saturday of the month from 10am until 12pm, and take place at The George Hotel, formerly the Whipper-In, which can be found in Oakham Market Place, Oakham, LE15 6DT. 

The next session will take place on Saturday 6 July. No appointment is needed and the councillors encourage residents to attend to catch up with local politics, share their views and highlight any concerns.

Cllr Ray Payne concluded: "As the election campaign draws to an end, we Lib Dems have been very heartened by the warm response that we have received from the public generally. Sadly we have also found a lot of anti-politics feeling as well, many voters are clearly disheartened and not a little cynical about the motives and aims of a lot of us involved in politics.

"The recent betting scandal has had a very negative effect on the attitude of the public, clearly all of us involved in politics, both national and local, have a lot of rebuilding of trust to do after the election."
