Dear Residents

Looking back over 2022, it has certainly been a year of change in national politics. This has also been the case at Rutland County Council, where a new leader of the Council, Lucy Stephenson, was elected in May 2022 and a new Cabinet appointed, as the conservatives had lost control of the Council. As an Independent I am proud to now be serving on the Cabinet, with responsibility for Planning, Highways and Transport and believe that working constructively with other councillors is the best way to secure Rutland’s future. In the current economic climate, there are plenty of challenges and difficult decisions ahead but we are making good progress in putting in place the foundations for the future, to ensure that RCC delivers effective services for its residents and supports the most vulnerable in our county.

In these challenging times, RCC has put together a booklet of support available for residents. This can be found on the website, or in a booklet available from libraries, Citizens Advice and the foodbank.  Or ask me for a copy.

I have enjoyed meeting with residents in the pub and will advertise further sessions in 2023. But do contact by email or telephone at any time.

With very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year
Rosemary
