Cancer Research UK Market Place Oakham Rutland for far to many years this charity shop has made our market place look like a dump.

I often wonder why people here in Oakham are so anti charity shops, then I thought about it. Each time I walk through the market place I notice how it is blighted by Cancer Research. If it is not being used as a dump for residents rubbish, its their own weekly mountain of rubbish dumped outside the shop. I often look at what they throw out and think what a waste. Yesterday I notice a large bag full of brown paper bags still sealed in original packaging, along with many other bags containing many new items. used to run the shop, I personal nominate Cancer Research as the most disgraceful and wasteful charity shop here in Oakham. Cancer research appears to have far too much money. I and others remember when they wasted over £20,000 refurbishing this shop in 2013 and opening it for a very short period of time as a boutique style charity shop before reverting it back to a normal charity shop. £20,000, Just a little more than they pay each of their store managers. There are plenty of other business's in the Market Place that include the selling of food and drink, they don't dump in the market place.

Air Ambulance to open charity Shop in Oakham

Buy the Book closed down on the 15th January 2012. the shop has remained empty since. Planning applications were received by the council to make alterations to the stores interior. Most of the work was carried out before approval was granted, some even carried out whilst Oakham Town Council sat and met to discuss the listed building. 

Sadly a lot of the interior features, part of the buildings retail history ended up in the skip rather than remaining or finding their way to the museum.

The Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance have decided they can afford the high rent

and will be opening a fund raising shop later this month.

Additional charity shops are not welcomed by all residents. Former Councillor and Oakham Mayor Jim Harrison, who is never afraid to speak his mind, but is often quick to condemn others for doing the same.
