A Disruptive Development


While the Brooke Road development aims to address a crucial need for affordable housing in Oakham, it's undeniable that the construction process has been significantly disruptive and inconvenient for local residents. The frequent closures and traffic restrictions have impacted daily routines and caused significant frustration.

Furthermore, the cleanliness of the surrounding areas has been a major concern. The constant dirt and debris on nearby roads is unsightly and adds to the overall inconvenience. It's essential that the developers take immediate steps to address this issue and ensure a cleaner environment for the community.
