Oakham Police Station, £2 million building up for sale only £750,000, The Great Tory Give Away
It is rumored, Oakham School are no longer interested in acquiring the property to detain unruly students.
Some months ago I blogged over hearing a conversation outside the police station, a gentleman from Leicestershire Police was certain Oakham School were going to purchase the property once it was vacated by the police.
I raised the issue of the need for the property to be marketed on the open market.
It is good to see Leicestershire Police have decided to do so.
When you consider Rutland County Council has just built a bus waiting room for nearly £1 million, I can't help thinking this property is being sold of cheap?
The selling details say it is a former police station? I have always had my suspicions about some of those who are currently working in the police station.
