Oakham Market Day 23rd June 2021 A Very Quiet Day A Lot Of Police Patrolling The Town Due To The Religious Festival Being Held At The Showground.
I caught the TV news item on the BBC local news this evening I was puzzled why some one at Cavells was saying 50% of the shops were closed or serving from behind closed doors. I did not any others. Even the lady know as the sweary lady in Mill Street had her door wide open.
I think fear has certainly won this week here in Oakham. :-(
Withdrawal of planning application for change of use of land at Showground
Rutland County Council has today (Wednesday 23 June) received a formal instruction to withdraw, with immediate effect, the planning application reference 2021/0319/MAF, relating to Rutland Showground.
This application concerned proposals for a change of land use adjacent to the Showground site at Showground Way, Barleythorpe, Rutland. These proposals included using that land for the following purposes:
The application has now been marked as withdrawn in the Council’s records and comments on it can no longer be made on the Council’s website.
If the owners of the Showground should wish to pursue these proposals again in future, that would require submission of a new application for planning permission to the County Council.
The Lord Nelson Pub says:
It is with huge sadness we have decided to keep The Lord Nelson closed until Friday morning now.
With the vulnerability and local issues we are not confident putting our staff at risk and will update everyone later in the week with our plans for the weekend.
We will contact all bookings directly and we are so sorry to have to disappoint guests!
