Social Distancing Road Changes Oakham Market Place and Mill Street Changes

Social Distancing Road Changes Oakham Market Place and Mill Street Changes

There has been a lot of unhappy comments from people who live and work in Mill Street Oakham.



I get changing Mill Street to one way traffic could make 
the road safer for pedestrians. What I don't get is 
these changes were meant to widen the pedestrian area.
The barriers should be taken away.
If people are queuing to enter the larder coffee shop 
you can't get past and to make it worse BT contractors are
fitting new fibre cable to all the properties and for most of today 
they had removed the cover outside the former Eden premises
erected their own safety barriers around the hole effectively 
closing the footpath. The photo above was take early this morning 
before the business's opened the shop on the right serves all its customers 
outside the shop blocking the narrow pavement.

The Florist could not accept her deliveries at the door and had to use 
her children to carry the delivery from the top of the road.








I have noticed some drivers are blind, I saw one lady 
was waiting at the traffic lights opposite these signs 
and she did not see them and stopped rather quickly and 
went straight into reverse nearly hitting the van behind her
I am often worried about the ability of some of the older 
drivers on our roads, you only have to see that when 
they often hit parked cars in the supermarket car park 
and just walk off to the shop.












I sort of get the market place accept for the loss
of very well used parking places.
I am told the hotel, cafe and pub will be able 
to put out tables for customers, I hope the county 
council let Kavanaghs put out the tables.








Headway Charity shop moving out
Oakham is set to change as a number of the charity
shops are not re-opening.
