Oakham Town Council Planning and Parks Committee

Councillor Nowell was elected as Chairman and Cllr Woodcock as the deputy.

Various items were discussed and planning applications considered.

A working group has been set up to apply for a Townscape Heritage Lottery Grant. It is hoped the Town Partnership, Rutland County Council and landlords and traders will work with the Town Council and the lottery to enhance the West End of the Town.

The working group is made up of  the following: (members nominated me to lead the group!

Councillor Brookes
Councillor Nowell  (Town Partnership member)
Councillor Hopkin
Councillor Dodds (former Town Partnership member)

Six years have passed since people started to talk about the west end of the town. A heritage lottery grant is not expected to resolve all the different issues, it can hopefully help enhance the street scene.
This is a big project and I am hoping the working group will grow if an initial application is accepted
