Fitness Centre, Princess Avenue, Oakham, Rutland

FITNESS CENTRE AT 2 PRINCESS AVENUE

The tenants have notified Oakham Town Council that they wish to end
their lease and move to the Oakham Enterprise Park at the former
prison.

The council agreed the tenants must stick to the terms of the lease and pay
all monies due if they leave early.

Cllr Dewis considers demolition of the building as an option! disgraceful when
you consider Oakham Town Council spent a quarter of it's income setting
up this private business.

Cllr Lucas asked for assurance that the tenant should put the building back
into the condition when they moved in.

The tax payer recently replaced The fitness centres fence, something they were
responsible for.

Cllr Woodcock said the business owners had been given a bad press
and mentioned they had replaced the heating out of their own pocket.

A previous interested party was mentioned.

Cllr Stubbs and Cllr Dewis and the Clerk

Will be having a meeting with a lady who wants to open a nursery school.

Cllr Martin raised concerns about a nursery because most schools nearby
were not full. She would also like the council to consider a move into
the property.

Cllr Dewis said he would not mention his preferred option for the building
at this stage although later in the meeting he can be heard mentioning
demolition to another councillor. A expensive and wasteful option when
you consider the huge amount of tax payers money the council had already
spent.

Cllr Lucas said the way the council were handling the matter was crazy.

Cllr Woodcock said she had met the tenant and had told them this would
be coming before to full council and she felt they should be held to the
terms of the contract because she had never been let of a contract.

Cllr Lucas said if a nursery school puts in low toilets they should be made
to replace them with normal ones if they moved out.

Cllr Lowe asked if the budget for next year could reflect the possible
loss of income.

Cllr Lucas appeared not to trust the people selected to investigate the
situation. Suggested Adam Lowe should be on that working party.
she said "You know where I am going"

I tend to agree with her this building has never been put on the open
market and like the current tenants most have been friends of some
one on the council.
