The Old Probation Office, Police Station, Leicestershire Police, Oakham, Rutland




The old Probation Office / Police Station

I am looking at the limited plans correctly this build will have its roof
removed to form part of Leicestershire Police plans for a proposed
new smaller police station.

Another small part of Oakham's character and charm will be lost for
good.



so far my comment sent to RCC planning is the only one
it needs better, mine was slightly mischievous and they accepted it!

Consultation End Date12/03/2013

I think the new build will spoil an already spoilt street scene.

Public comment can help the Brewery that owns the Horse Shoe Pub withdrew its application
to convert to a supermarket there were a lot of objectors.

When this application comes before Oakham Town Council I will be surprised if there will be
any objections as they have in the past shown no interest in preserving old buildings.

They wrote me once and told me it was not there job to help preserve Oakham's history
when I asked them to assist in saving the two fine Victorian Houses in Gaol Street. Work
went ahead and Rutland County Council to this day said they could not afford enforcement
action?

Open day at Market Harborough police station, Fun Fair,


When our Mayor Sees this he will I am sure suggest a similar at the next community safety partnership meeting he attends. He might even suggest its his own idea? If it does happen can the town council lend their stocks please. Could be fun to chuck a few sponges at our Inspector. Of Leicestershire Constabulary have a habit of moving officers of senior rank, I would like to see in the stocks.


Open day at Market Harborough police station

The police in Market Harborough are holding an open day at the police station. 

Members of the public are very welcome to come along to the police station on Saturday 29th September 2012 between 11am and 2pm.  

They will be able to look around the cells; sit in a police car and try on lots of officer’s equipment.  

Neighbourhood Watch and the Harborough District Community Safety Partnership will also have a stall with crime prevention advice and there’ll be people to talk to about becoming a police volunteer or a Special Constable.

The fire service will have a fire engine in the car park too and there will be some small fun fair rides for young children and a chance to get your bicycle post coded. 

Inspector Paul McKinder, Commander of Market Harborough local policing unit, said; “We’d welcome people of all ages to come along, meet their local officers and have a look around the police station.  We haven’t held an open day before and we wanted to give people a better understanding of what officers do and by opening our doors I hope lots of people will come along, have a fun time and it will continue to build strong links with the community. I am really pleased that a number of other agencies are keen to join us too so we look forward to seeing as many people as possible on Saturday 29th.”
