Oakham Fitness Centre Princess Avenue,Oakham, is one of three tenants Oakham Town Council receives rent from. The Fitness Centre is currently in arrears with it rent and finally at last nights Council meeting, Councillors voted to start the legal process.
Oakham Town Council lets 3 public properties to elite groups in Oakham for next to nothing rent.
Oakham Fitness Centre Princess Avenue,Oakham £1,200.00 a year they only paid £597.50
Oakham Tennis Club £700 a year
Oakham Bowls Club £620 a year
None of the above are paying a fair commercial rate, the clerk told me its how the old boys drew up the leases a few years ago.
Personally I think this stinks the properties belong to the public, were paid for by the public.
Oakham Town Council is not a charity.
The fitness centre should be repossed and the premises used as a local community centre.
