Oakham's Esso Station Gets a Makeover, Marking the End of an Era - New 10-Minute Parking Limit Enforced

The familiar red, white, and blue of Esso will soon be a thing of the past at Oakham's 24-hour petrol station on Melton Road, as the station undergoes a rebranding to Essar. This change signifies the latest chapter in the long history of the fuelling location, which has seen its canopy shrink and switch brands several times over the years.

Local residents may recall the station sporting the familiar yellow shell emblem in the past.  Before that, it was adorned with the green and white colours of BP and Texaco The constant change reflects the evolving landscape of the petrol industry, with mergers, acquisitions, and fluctuations in brand popularity all playing a role.

The shrinking canopy is another interesting detail.  Perhaps it fell victim to modernisation efforts, or maybe it simply reflects changing customer needs.  In any case, it serves as a reminder of how the way we refuel our vehicles has transformed over time.

The arrival of Essar presents Oakham motorists with a new choice, but be aware of an important change: 10-minute parking limit enforced by camera.  Plan your visit accordingly to avoid a potential penalty.
