Man Arrested In Oakham Assaulting East Midlands Ambulance Staff & Leicestershire Police in CAB, Video & Photographs

A 60 year old man was arrested at The Citizens Advice Bureau, Gaol Street in Oakham
at around 3.30pm after assaulting two ambulance crew members who were attending to him.



He appeared to have resisted arrest and assaulted Leicestershire Police Officers.

A number of Leicestershire Police attended from across the region, they attempted to
deposit the arrested man in their silly little van and had to call for a larger van
and when that arrived officers stopped traffic and carried him into the back of the
van.

Cost over £1,000,000

Located Outside Oakham

Cllr Terry King Conservative Deputy Leader diverts developer 106 contributions meant for Oakham whenever he can. Most recently it was a large chunk of money from Hawksmead meant to provide
community and sports facilitates here in Oakham.

Cllr Alf Dewis at a town council meeting called this project 'Rutland County Council's white elephant' when he was mayor, he added 'I will say more later on' over a year later he remains silent?

Most tenants have moved from Oakham.

Cllr Alf Dewis said at a Council meeting the Vale of Judo Club based in the old prison gym is receiving
a preferential rent. I wonder why Terry King is still supporting with tax payers money what is described as one of the countries most  successful chains?

The gym is now called Ashwell Sports and Leisure Centre? The doors were firmly locked this Sunday afternoon. Strange to give it a name that suggest community use when Cllr King himself said the hall would only be made available to select private clubs and not the general public. I assume the name helps when it comes to claiming even more cash from public bodies such as those displayed on the wall, (Sport England, Lottery)

The local tax payer also paid for the demolition of former accommodation blocks damaged during the prison  riot.

The council is attempting to find a buyer for the mountain aggregate. The Ministry of Justice must have been pleased to have passed on this problem.

I wonder why this place is described as a Enterprise Park, most of the tenants seem to be Sport and Leisure
orientated.






Most of this area is let for soft air and zombie hunting

A fully working CCTV system destroyed? and recently replaced
with a couple of small cameras.






The latest addition behind this gate, located in the former prison
visitors centre is a nursery school.
