Oakham Enterprise Park, Rutland County Council, Former HMP Ashwell Prison, Video & Photographs

Oakham Enterprise Park, Rutland County Council, Former HMP Ashwell Prison, Video & Photographs



Cost over £1,000,000

Located Outside Oakham

Cllr Terry King Conservative Deputy Leader diverts developer 106 contributions meant for Oakham whenever he can. Most recently it was a large chunk of money from Hawksmead meant to provide
community and sports facilitates here in Oakham.

Cllr Alf Dewis at a town council meeting called this project 'Rutland County Council's white elephant' when he was mayor, he added 'I will say more later on' over a year later he remains silent?

Most tenants have moved from Oakham.

Cllr Alf Dewis said at a Council meeting the Vale of Judo Club based in the old prison gym is receiving
a preferential rent. I wonder why Terry King is still supporting with tax payers money what is described as one of the countries most  successful chains?

The gym is now called Ashwell Sports and Leisure Centre? The doors were firmly locked this Sunday afternoon. Strange to give it a name that suggest community use when Cllr King himself said the hall would only be made available to select private clubs and not the general public. I assume the name helps when it comes to claiming even more cash from public bodies such as those displayed on the wall, (Sport England, Lottery)

The local tax payer also paid for the demolition of former accommodation blocks damaged during the prison  riot.

The council is attempting to find a buyer for the mountain aggregate. The Ministry of Justice must have been pleased to have passed on this problem.

I wonder why this place is described as a Enterprise Park, most of the tenants seem to be Sport and Leisure
orientated.






Most of this area is let for soft air and zombie hunting











Large green building gym home of vale judo













The Old Prison Green House location






A fully working CCTV system destroyed? and recently replaced
with a couple of small cameras.






The latest addition behind this gate, located in the former prison
visitors centre is a nursery school.

This is also the venue for the Zombie events.

Today I visited the Airsoft experience at the former HMP Ashwell site
now known as Oakham Enterprise Park.

I was given a tour by Mick, who explained what goes on at the former prison.
I heard a explosion! Mick led the way every now and then calling out marshal
on the stairs etc...

I was kitted out with safety equipment and was not shot!
