Woodland View, Oakham, Closed Due to Burst Water Main

Woodland View in Oakham is currently closed to traffic due to a burst water main. Severn Trent Water has located the leak and implemented a temporary repair, however, water continues to escape.

The road closure is in place at the junction of Willow Crescent and Elm Close. Despite the closure, access to Elm Close and the lower part of Woodland View is still possible by driving down Willow Crescent.

Motorists intending to visit the Costcutter shop are advised to be aware of the road closure and plan their journey accordingly. Once shopping is complete, it is necessary to exit via the way you arrived.

Severn Trent Water is working diligently to resolve the issue and reopen the road as soon as possible.

To consider two documents from Rutland County Council relating to possible works at:
(i) The junction of Burley Road and Woodland View
(ii) Woodland View
and to agree on a response to Rutland County Council

Member agreed with the councils proposals.

They complained they were not included in site visit which included Cllr Plews
the ward councillor from Rutland County Council. Now they know how residents
feel when Rutland County Council claim they have carried out a full consultation
and they have not. I live near these roads and like many other residents we were
not consulted. I understand Cllr Plews did consult with his friend
the one he used to provide cones to stop people parking outside his home.

They council is proposing widening the junction of Woodland View and putting
parking Layby's in Woodland View and Willow Crescent.

Cllr Dewis was very annoyed and critical of Rutland County Council for
once again asking the Town Council to contribute towards a Highways
project.

Woodland View Oakham Parking Issues and Leicestershire Police

For some time now residents of Woodland View Oakham, have been raising the issue of the state of the grass verges in the street, as far back as when I was a town councillor, the have since enlisted the support of County Councillor Gene Plews and the Rutland Times. As you can see from the photograph above the law breaking still continues.

Now stick this one in your file Inspector Monks.

Mr Gene Plews (Conservative) - OAKHAM SOUTH EAST WARD Rutland County Councillor Electioneering? Woodland View Oakham

Mr Gene Plews (Conservative) - OAKHAM SOUTH EAST WARD Rutland County Councillor Electioneering?

It was good to see Rutland County Council Gene Plews visit our ward this week, possible the first time in four year?

He made the front page of this weeks Rutland Times dealing with a matter I touched upon as a Town Councillor.

The state of the grass verges along Woodland View and Burley Road Oakham.  

About three years ago Oakham Town Council purchased wooden bollards for Burley Way, this has not stopped one resident who drives around them for year.

When I wrote about Councillor Plews friends heavily criticised me for writing about it on my blog?

Although a large proportion of the damage is caused by a few residents the day time damage is the responsibility of The workmen at the new school site after speaking to the little build they promised to replace the turf once work is complete in the meantime we have to put of with lots of cones.

The workman appear to be parking on the road, now residents and Spire Homes contractors still churn up the verges. 

I think any new turf will go the same way. Some residents suggest double yellow lines. I don't see this will solve the problem, it will only push the problem further down the road towards those residents who are rightly complaining. 

A inconsiderate few are making our neighboured look terrible.

As the cones increase along Woodland View the vans move onto undamaged verges?

 

Over the last month I think Appollo have had their entire fleet of vans park on grass verges 

while they replace bathrooms for Spire Homes, The road has a 20 mph speed limit so its 

not as if they need to keep the road clear for speeding traffic, they do have to keep a 

way clear for the bus that often drive along the paths and verges.
