Stamford Road Oakham Rutland


Stamford is a heavenly site for residents, after Rutland County Council
imposed parking restrictions because their crazy parking policy caused
residents a big headache for many months.

You might think the problem of staff parking has been resolved by the council?

No is the answer to that...

Rutland County Council has just simply moved the problem onto
other residents.

For example Edmonton Road, Oakham has now become one of the
latest council staff car parks.

For information fat cat Tory Councillors are not affected by the
councils daft parking policy. They are not subject to car share
as they turn up to meetings in their shiny Jags and Land Rovers
as sole drivers.

Oakham  Mayor Councillor Alf Dewis said Rutland County Council does not have
a parking strategy for the town.

I think they do, just keep pushing the cars out of town?

Residents who live in and around Stamford Road in Oakham are being asked for their views on how best to manage street parking in their area.

Residents who live in and around Stamford Road in Oakham are being asked for their views on how best to manage street parking in their area.

• No waiting at any time on Stamford Road (Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm)

• 2 hour parking on roads off Stamford Road (including the Edmonton Way estate and Sculthorpe Close)

Rutland County Council is starting a formal consultation, which is the final stage before implementation, this week on a number of proposals, and anybody interested has until 17 September to make their views known.

View the Stamford Road Parking Consultation webpage for more details

Council Leader Roger Begy commented: “We’ve been speaking to people living in this area of Oakham for some months, and these proposals are the result of lots of dialogue and informal discussions. We hope we’ve come up with a solution that will actually solve a problem rather than move it from one area to another.”

Councillor Begy added: “It’s a difficult balancing act and a great deal of thought and consideration has gone into these detailed proposals. We’ve had to consider the impact of any changes not only on those who currently use certain roads for parking, but also for residents and visitors to homes in the local area.”

Councillor Begy went on to say: “We’ve considered this area of Oakham as part of  a wider review of parking across the whole town.  This is the first time that the council has carried out a full review rather than dealing with problems in isolation. I hope that will put us in a good position for the future.”

The main proposals being advertised for consultation are:

The full list of changes to parking regulations for Stamford Road, the Edmonton Way estate and Sculthorpe Close, can be viewed in the Rutland Times (23 August) or on the council website by following the link above.

Visitors to Customer Services at the Council Offices can also view a large map of the proposals.

Comments received will be taken into account before the proposals are finalised.

Oakham Parking Issues, Stamford Road, Rutland County Council

Rutland County Councils Scrutiny Panel met tonight members approved a draft document

Strategic Parking Review

Conservative Council Leader Roger Begy highlighted some of his concerns and important issues.

He expressed his serious concerns about parent who forget their children safety when they take to the wheel of their cars and drop children of during school runs to drop of their children.

He also said parking in Uppingham had become French Style Parking, abandonment!

New housing developments are failing to provide enough parking spaces.

They will need to consider improving bus services and possible include park and ride.

Town Parking charge will be reviewed annually and help with cost to reduce the parking charge would be gratefully received from the Town Councils.

Consider dual use of Oakham of Oakham resident bays, he said this has worked well in Uppingham.

At the moment Rutland County Council can not take enforcement action against Verge and Footway parking throughout Rutland, this is to a police responsibility to be dealt with if there is an obstruction. The Council will be looking into this issue.

Obstructing any dropped curb can be dealt with and enforcement should be carried out by Council enforcement officers.

The Council is  proposing some immediate action:

Yellow Lines to be painted and enforced on the bend in Stamford Road, Residents would like to see the lines extended further than the bend.

Considering Kings Road change to one way

He mentioned some long term solutions this included the consideration of building a multi-story car park.

The Chairman said as the public departed it was good to see them leaving smiling.
Fortunately he did not hear one of the residents less than complimentary description of them. "Bunch of W#####"


Outside the meeting some Stamford Road residents thought it might be good if they contacted the star of Rutland Radio Breakfast Show, Rob Persani and set him a new Friday challenge, to drive a car out of their drives. Something tells me Lincs FM might refuse the challenge on Health and Safety grounds.

Stamford Road Oakham Parking Dangers Rutland County Council

Rutland County Council is set to introduce a series of ‘no parking’ zones along one of the busiest routes in and out of Oakham.

Residents who live along Stamford Road attended Full Council earlier this week to highlight their concerns about the number of cars parked outside their homes during working hours. most of the problem has been caused by Rutland County Council They say it presents a danger not only to traffic using the road, but also to those who live in the area and have obstructed views when pulling off their driveways.

The council has promised to conduct a full parking review after the election but as the road is a major route in and out of town, “h-bar” no parking markings will be put in place during the next few weeks to prevent parking in front of accesses and aid sufficient visibility for residents accessing their properties until a permanent solution is agreed. I hope there is not a accident on this bend before they do something.

 Strategic Director for Places, Aman Mehra commented: “The council is aware of the difficulties being experienced along Stamford Road. This is a major route in and out of Oakham with a significant number of cars, as well as large vehicles, using the road every day. It’s important that we do something now in advance of a more permanent solution after the election”.

 Stamford Road Oakham use with great caution you never know what is around the bend

Mr. Mehra added: “The council is also working closely with local police who are now actively monitoring this stretch of road and will support the council in taking appropriate action. I’d urge motorists to park in the pay-and-display car parks. Not only is your car safer in a patrolled car park, but a season ticket works out at less than £1.50 per day”.
 
Public car parks are available in Oakham in several locations including Burley Road, Westgate and South Street (long-stay), Church Street and Brooke Road (short-stay).
Discounted tickets are available from the pay and display machines on the long stay car parks at just £8 for weekly parking (Monday – Friday) or £9.50 (Monday – Saturday).

Regular users of the car parks can buy a year-long season ticket for use on all long stay car parks which costs £350 (Monday – Friday) or £410 (Monday – Saturday, Catmose on Saturdays only) or, for use on Westgate car park only, £320 (Monday-Friday) and £370 (Monday-Saturday). Pay and display machines also accept card payments.

OFSTED, Rutland County Council, Car Share and Stamford Road, Oakham

OFSTED Rutland County Council Car Share and Stamford Road Oakham

Residents of Stamford Road are getting fed up with Rutland County Councils failed green travel scheme.

Staff who can not share a car are banned from the council car park, leaving most of the car share space empty.

Accept for today the council was hosting a visit from OFSTED and reserved all the inspectors free parking amongst the car share spaces.

From the photograph you can  see residents concern. this photograph is taken from the bend you can see the slow warning in the road but drivers cant and drive in the middle of the road approaching blind bend.

So far there has only been a few misses. I don't think the posh residents are complaining because they don't want junior council staff parked outside their homes. The concerns are genuine safety. I spoke to a member of staff from the Rutland Times who had a scare on a bus at this point.
