Happy New Year from Martin in Oakham, Rutland! Oakham Rutland Video Tour.

Happy New Year from Martin in Oakham, Rutland!

As the bells chime midnight and fireworks light up the skies, Martin in Oakham, Rutland, raises a toast to a brand new year. 2023 has been a rollercoaster, filled with its share of ups and downs, but as we stand on the precipice of 2024, it's the moments of joy, resilience, and community spirit that resonate most strongly.

The year saw the rise of community heroes – volunteers who planted trees, cleaned up streets, and organised charity events. From the New Oakham in Bloom volunteers beautifying the town to the Rutland Foodbank heroes and Community responders to name just a few organisations. Oakhamites proved their hearts of gold.

And now, as we stand at the threshold of 2024, we do so with hearts full of hope and anticipation. From Martin and everyone in Oakham, Rutland, I wish you a very Happy New Year! May the coming year be filled with good health, laughter, and the sweet fulfilment of dreams.

Here's to new beginnings, fresh starts, and the vibrant possibilities that await us in 2024!
