Oakham Enterprise Park Former Ashwell Prison

Oakham Enterprise Park Former Ashwell Prison



Still no tenants for the units, Tory Deputy Leader Terry King still continues to say there is a lot of interest?



Work has started to demolish the former prison accommodation blocks, the Ministry of Justice must be laughing in the offices as Rutland County Council spend money demolishing and disposing of all that rubble.



I am still awaiting further words from Oakham Town Councillor Alf Dewis, who described the whole project as a big white elephant when he was Oakham Mayor last year. He said he would have more to say about the project later, later has now become much later. I guess he is keeping it zipped, so not to upset his mates at Rutland County Council.

Personally I think the council should cash in their investment of public money and flog the land to a proper developer.
