Oakham School Visitors Receive Fixed Penalty Tickets From Leicestershire Police

Oakham School Visitors Receive Fixed Penalty Tickets From Leicestershire Police


Just after lunch today I received a message from a resident. Once again visitors to
Oakham School were apparently showing little consideration to the residents who
use the roads and footpaths of Oakham.

Although I volunteer as a Oakham Town Councillor I am always happy to try
and help residents if I can. Am I meant to ignore them?

If you have time Martin you could witness the mayhem caused by the obstructive parking at oakham school playing field's . Kilburn End is basically blocked off to resident's at the moment . It's an absolute disgrace , i had to mount the kerb to stop a coach hitting me !






Neil
Thank's very much for your time Martin . You are a great asset to this town . Keep up the good work




I created a post using their photographs and as often happens this displeases a few
people locally.


I probably do have something better to do on a Sunday but like the Grainstore
I believe Councillors should be available 7 days a week if they can be.
And I can't afford to sit in there enjoying a Sunday drink.

I and residents are pleased Leicestershire Police have recognised many drivers
had broken the law today and issued a number of fixed penalty tickets.

I guess if this not happening on your doorstep, it must be hard to understand the
problem it causes residents.

Sally Burge Burgess Also has meant that coaches have used Kilburn end to drive up and turn around. The school children are no better using the road as pavement and not moving for vehicles.
