Residents who live along Stamford Road attended Full Council earlier this week to highlight their concerns about the number of cars parked outside their homes during working hours. most of the problem has been caused by Rutland County Council They say it presents a danger not only to traffic using the road, but also to those who live in the area and have obstructed views when pulling off their driveways.
The council has promised to conduct a full parking review after the election but as the road is a major route in and out of town, “h-bar” no parking markings will be put in place during the next few weeks to prevent parking in front of accesses and aid sufficient visibility for residents accessing their properties until a permanent solution is agreed. I hope there is not a accident on this bend before they do something.

Mr. Mehra added: “The council is also working closely with local police who are now actively monitoring this stretch of road and will support the council in taking appropriate action. I’d urge motorists to park in the pay-and-display car parks. Not only is your car safer in a patrolled car park, but a season ticket works out at less than £1.50 per day”.
Public car parks are available in Oakham in several locations including Burley Road, Westgate and South Street (long-stay), Church Street and Brooke Road (short-stay).
Discounted tickets are available from the pay and display machines on the long stay car parks at just £8 for weekly parking (Monday – Friday) or £9.50 (Monday – Saturday).
Regular users of the car parks can buy a year-long season ticket for use on all long stay car parks which costs £350 (Monday – Friday) or £410 (Monday – Saturday, Catmose on Saturdays only) or, for use on Westgate car park only, £320 (Monday-Friday) and £370 (Monday-Saturday). Pay and display machines also accept card payments.
