Oakham Fitness Centre Princess Avenue Oakham Moving To Rutland County Council Former prison site leave rent arrears
The fitness centre which moved in and received two official openings in 2012
after Oakham Town Council spent over a quarter of its taxpayers income
setting them up. Under the leadership of Cllr Alf Dewis who sits on a Rutland
Committee which the wife of the clubs owner sat on.
Recently the clerk persuaded the council they should spend over £2000
repairing a fence the club was responsible for .
Body Power Fitness have moved out in rent arrears and appear to not have
given formal notice. The Mayor is currently seeking legal advice,
Body Power Fitness lease requires them to also pay rent upto June 2015.
Cllr Lucas asked how legal it is for the council to enter the property to
clear the mountain of letters and bills pilling up at the door.
The Mayor does not know if the building is insured and strangely expressed
more concern about collecting the rent arrears.
When these tenants ,friends of the council moved in I mentioned my concerns
about the financial viability of the business. You did not have to be
a business expert to work out the large number of membership required
to cover rent insurance and business rate and electricity. All that
before the owners would need to be paid to continue their possible lavish lifestyle
living in a small house in Hambleton Village. The sums did not add up.
The same will I am sure will happen at Oakham Enterprise Park run
by Rutland County Council.
I am impressed by the way Body Power Fitness has thanked the Oakham
Tax Powers for their generous support.
Its a total disgrace and its a great shame the external auditor did not
look into this as they initially promised. I believe this is a good case
of possible corruption that should be investigated of course Cllr
Dewis will be hoping it will just be forgotten.
I wonder if he is providing his friends a reference to give to new
landlords Rutland County Council?
