Vandalism Strikes Council-Owned Property on Princess Avenue, Oakham, Amid Relocation Discussions

Vandalism Strikes Council-Owned Property on Princess Avenue, Oakham, Amid Relocation Discussions

A vacant property on Princess Avenue, situated on Oakham’s Royce Recreation Ground and owned by Oakham Town Council, has been targeted by vandals who smashed a gate and fencing.

The mindless damage has sparked local concern, drawing attention to the vacant site just as the Town Council renews efforts to evaluate the building for its own future use.

Following the discovery of the damage, at least one town councillor initially questioned whether the forced entry might have been tied to debt collectors who have been attempting to gain access to the vacant premises.

However, a closer inspection of the scene told a different story. Evidence gathered at the site suggests that bricks may have been deliberately used to smash through the boundaries, pointing instead to acts of mindless vandalism rather than professional enforcement action.

The timing of the vandalism has thrown an unexpected spotlight on the property, which is located near the area's popular play spaces and outdoor facilities.

Just last week, the Town Council took proactive steps by re-establishing a dedicated working group. The working group has been tasked once again with investigating the viability of the council relocating its operations directly to the Princess Avenue premises.

As local representatives weigh the potential for bringing the council-owned building back into active use, the council is likely to face renewed calls to tighten security and address the vulnerability of the site against further anti-social behavior.

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.
