Oakham Lawn Tennis Club, Lease Renewal, Oakham Town Council


Oakham Lawn Tennis Club, Lease Renewal, Oakham Town Council

It is no surprise the following item will be exempt.


16. OAKHAM LAWN TENNIS CLUB (Appendix J)
To consider a request from the Club to extend its lease and to make any decisions as
appropriate


I would like to think Oakham Town
Council will raise the rent to a market value for the bowls club. I am sure it won't.
The club like the tennis club pays the public peanuts for  a valuable asset. Each year
we are told by the clerk the council hands are tied by the terms of the lease. Nowe is the chance
to change this.

Of course they won't because the chairman of the club is a close friend of many members of the council.

He is also a former Mayor and Conservative County Councillor.

Lets hope they won't ask for a refurbishment otherwise the tax payer won't see any return for over
seven years, as is the case with the gym letting.
