Oakham Town Council leases public allotment land to the Private Wiilbrook Trust

Oakham Town Council approved the signing and sealing of the Lease between Oakham Town Council and
Rutland House Community Trust Ltd for the additional land to the east of the
Willowbrook facility

This item has slipped through quietly and has resulted in the loss of public allotment land.

Although this lease is being given to allow the land to be used for recreation by the residents of the trust
there appears to be a provision that may allow the trust to build on the land at a later date.
the lease is set for 80 years and the rent is set at £480 a year.


Oakham Town Council say the Willow Crescent allotments are not protected by the allotment act.
