Local Councillor Clears Path After Distressing Incident Involving Mobility Scooter User at Cutts Close Park, Oakham


Local Councillor Clears Path After Distressing Incident Involving Mobility Scooter User at Cutts Close Park, Oakham

An investigation and community response are underway following a distressing incident in Cutts Close Park, Oakham, yesterday evening (Thursday, 6th August) that has left local residents shocked.

Around 5:00 PM yesterday, a man using a mobility scooter entered Cutts Close Park and reportedly dropped a container of human ashes onto the ground. Following the incident, a confrontation occurred near the park's skatepark, with witnesses reporting that the man on the mobility scooter was assaulted by a teenager.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with two police officers and a paramedic arriving to assist. Witnesses confirmed that while the man received medical evaluation at the scene, he was not transported to the hospital and was assaulted after the police had departed. 

(it has since been reported that Leicestershire Police found the man on the mobility scooter was intoxicated and was being goaded. They say there was no reported assault, although witnesses say there was after the police had departed)

Residents living near the park contacted local Councillor Martin Brookes this morning (7th August) expressing concern that remnants of the ashes remained scattered on the public footpath.

Attempts by Cllr Brookes to reach the grounds maintenance team for immediate assistance were unsuccessful as calls went unanswered. Demonstrating prompt community care, Cllr Brookes personally attended the location and cleared the path using water.

Cllr Brookes is deeply concerned for the welfare of the man involved and is appealing to the Oakham community for information.

"I would like anyone who knows the man to contact me. I want to know if he is okay and if he would like any assistance retrieving the remainder of the ashes left at the edge of the path."

Cllr Martin Brookes

Anyone who can identify the man or has information regarding his whereabouts is urged to get in touch with Cllr Martin Brookes directly via email at mbrookes@oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk.

Idle Hands Provided the Music, Fundraising, and a Touch of Tech Trouble in Cutts Close, Oakham, Catch The Bongo Rat Pack Next Week


Idle Hands Provided the Music, Fundraising, and a Touch of Tech Trouble in Cutts Close, Oakham, Catch The Bongo Rat Pack Next Week

Oakham’s popular bandstand in Cutts Close was filled with the sound of live music this past Sunday afternoon as local favourites Idle Hands took to the stage for another fantastic community performance.

Drawing a cheerful crowd of locals and visitors alike, the band delivered a memorable performance that had park-goers tapping their feet and enjoying the afternoon sun. Alongside the entertainment, the concert successfully raised £105.31 for the Mayor's Charity, The Rutland Lions, continuing a strong tradition of community generosity in the heart of Rutland.

However, the afternoon was not without its minor frustrations. Unfortunately, SumUp card payment systems were not working this week, causing inconvenience not only for the Mayor's charity collection, but also for the various traders operating within the park. Organisers hope to have the payment technology fully restored for the upcoming weekend.

Music lovers won't have to wait long for the next installment of bandstand entertainment. Next Sunday, The Bongo Rat Pack are set to take over the Cutts Close stage.

The trio are fast becoming one of Rutland's must-see live acts, featuring a dynamic lineup of

Eddie Markey (Vocals and Electric Ukulele)

Simon Hughes (Bass)

'Bongo Steve' Cannie (Percussion)

With a staggering set list boasting over 150 songs, the trio is renowned for blending laid-back classics with crowd-pleasing singalongs guaranteed to get audiences on their feet.

Concertgoers are advised to bring along some cash just in case, grab a blanket, and head down to Cutts Close next Sunday afternoon for another brilliant community musical experience.

B Jewellery, 2 Market Place, Oakham, Rutland


B Jewellery Oakham is celebrated for its independent spirit, quaint stone architecture, and thriving local high street. B Jewellery, located at 2 Market Place.

More than just a traditional retail shop, this artisan jewelry boutique brings a unique blend of heritage craftsmanship, bespoke design, and personal touch right to Rutland’s historic town center.

B Jewellery is spearheaded by founder and principal designer Belynda Faulkner, who holds a BA in Silversmithing, Jewellery, and Allied Crafts. With years of extensive industry experience—ranging from working as a diamond buyer and product manager to running prominent high street stores—Belynda established the brand to bring authenticity and deeply personal storytelling back into fine jewelry.

After expanding successfully with locations at Nene Court in Wellingborough and the Engine Yard at Belvoir Castle, B Jewellery opened its doors on Oakham’s Market Place in June 2022. Marking the brand's first high-street storefront, the Oakham shop quickly woven itself into the fabric of the local community.

What sets B Jewellery apart from mass-market retailers is its working-studio environment. Customers stepping into the Market Place shop aren't just greeted by finished display collections; they can often see traditional jeweler’s tools and workshop benches right on site.

Specializing in custom engagement rings, wedding bands, and heirloom transformations ("old-into-new"), B Jewellery allows clients to actively participate in the design journey.

From delicate stackable rings and fingerprint jewelry to contemporary silver and gold pieces, every item reflects meticulous attention to detail.

Offering expert local repair services, the boutique breathes new life into cherished family pieces, ensuring they can be passed down safely through generations.

Oakham’s vibrant twice-weekly market brings a bustling energy to the town center, making 2 Market Place an ideal backdrop for B Jewellery. The boutique bridges the gap between old-world artistry and modern elegance, offering Rutland residents and visitors a deeply personalised alternative to corporate shopping.

Whether you are looking to design a one-of-a-kind engagement ring, commission a meaningful anniversary gift, or have a treasured heirloom repaired, B Jewellery stands out as a jewel in Oakham’s commercial crown—proving that true artisan craftsmanship is alive and well on the high street.

Honouring Our Maritime Heroes Merchant Navy Day at Oakham Castle, Oakham, Rutland, 3rd September 2026

Merchant Navy Day 2024

Honouring Our Maritime Heroes Merchant Navy Day in Oakham

This Thursday, 3rd September 2026, the community of Rutland will gather at the historic Oakham Castle to pay tribute to the brave men and women of the Merchant Navy.

In recognition of their vital role in our nation's history and their ongoing contribution to our prosperity and security, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland, Dr. Sarah Furness, alongside Rutland County Council’s Armed Forces Champion, Cllr David Wilby, invite the public to attend a formal flag-raising ceremony.

Event Details

Date: Thursday, 3rd September 2026

Time: 10:30 am

Location: Grounds of Oakham Castle, Market Place, Oakham, LE15 6DR

Why We Observe Merchant Navy Day

Merchant Navy Day is a poignant occasion to reflect on the "Fourth Service." While often operating out of the spotlight, the Merchant Navy is the backbone of the United Kingdom's economy. These seafarers are responsible for transporting the vast majority of our food, fuel, and goods.

Beyond their daily economic contributions, we honour those who have served during times of conflict. Throughout both World Wars and subsequent operations, Merchant Navy personnel faced extreme peril at sea to ensure vital supplies reached our shores. Their courage and resilience have been—and remainintegral to our national identity.

The flag-raising ceremony at Oakham Castle serves as a meaningful opportunity for Rutland residents to stand together in appreciation of these maritime heroes. Whether you have a personal connection to the sea, a family history of service, or simply wish to show your support for our Armed Forces and merchant mariners, your presence is welcomed.

By raising the Red Ensign, we ensure that the sacrifices and service of merchant seafarers are never forgotten. We hope to see you there as we commemorate this important day in our local calendar.
