Gusto. 2B Gaol Street. Oakham Repossessed, planning corruption at Oakham Town Council

Gusto. 2B Gaol Street. Oakham Repossessed

Gusto Italian Restaurant Closed in March, signs appeared showing a glimmer of hope a buyer may have been found.

But today it any hope faded and Oakham found itself another empty unit.


Whenever something happens to this place it reminds of planning corruption at Oakham Town Council.


The owner had put forward an application the chairman of the council advised at the meeting Councillors should approve the application because she knew the applicant Emily Frikha who was involved, she worked for Rutland County Council and the establishment would be a fine place. (A Emily Frikha currently works for Rutland County Council as Waste Projects Officer) I am not saying the applicant did anything wrong. The Chairman of  Oakham Town Council did and her influence clearly helped the Councillors decisions 

I am not saying it was not a fine establishment, but within a few weeks police were called to the Restaurant to break up a fight amongst the fine dinners.


The property has now been stripped of most things including the kitchen sink.
