Please note that there has been no attendance by Rob Shorrock at a meeting of the Charter Trustees since his election defeat. I would like to say on behalf of the Conservative members it is they who are in the majority and not the Independents as stated by Mr Shorrock. At a recent Charter Trustee meeting many Conservatives members were opposed to the formation of a town council. There are serious concerns that by progressing down this route it will be just another level of government bureaucracy, duplicating what is already provided by South Kesteven District Council. Another important factor is council tax would rise to facilitate a town council.

As a member of the Conservative group who have control of the council we are already providing a service to our constituents. It is a shame that in 1974 we lost Grantham Borough Council which was amalgamated into SKDC which is now the controlling authority.
