Lonsdale House, Oakham, Rutland, England, Tresham, Photographs.

Speaking with contractors on site it appears Londsdale House maybe saved from demolition. They added out buildings are to be demolished. Once Bats have been lawfully removed.

I mentioned to the contractors Oakham Town Councillor Locketts suggestion that they should just be shot, the contractors said maybe the councillor would like to be a bat? I agree most of the town Councillors are pests and should be controlled Cllr Lockett style.

The building purchased by Tresham College for peanuts form the tax payer, was an attractive building and should be saved , the college permitted its decay and should be made to repair it. So many of our attractive buildings have been lost due to neglect like this. (Barleythorpe Hall)

I can not understand Oakham Town Council, it wants the site cleared ASAP and then is likely to complain a modern development is a ghetto in style? What do they want for Oakham an baron waste land?

Cllr Joyce Lucas made me laugh at a recent council meeting, she said "I fought to save the destruction of the two Victorian houses in Gaol Street" When? I ask!

I remember writing to Oakham Town Council and the Rutland Victorian Society many years ago, the reply from Oakham Town Councils Clerk was, "we are just the town council, its a planning matter, we can't stop it. The Victorian Society replied what do you want us to do about it? then did nothing. When the owners destroyed the roofs Rutland County Council wrote to them and asked them to remove the
windows. They took no enforcemennt action,  the Rutland Times published the council had no money to take enforcement action? and that was the end of the matter, I am guessing the property owner must be a local Tory cash supporter, rather like the owner of a large local hall who could not give a reason to the County Council for a vanishing roof and the large holes that appeared in stone walls of an out building, which of course could not be repaired and just had to be demolished to make way for a new annex attached to the hall. I think we are fortunate that the family don't own to many historic buildings or old Mills. The Tory council wonder why people suggest there is planning corruption here in Rutland.

not interested in these and many other monitors
the just cut the cables off and stripped for copper

I would say it appears Cllr Gale is only doing his job?


Letter to Council Officer

Yes I agree that any proposed scheme that comes forward on Tresham land will come from Tresham themselves, not RCC. However an officer has referred to the collaborative sale agreement and the council using Section 123 of the Local Government act 1972. Therefore it was right for me to raise public concerns about the proposed loss of further sports field in the town that give excellent access for young, old and disabled people.

Yes I did meet with Cllrs. King and Woodcock and Mrs. Brambini in November and viewed a proposed plan, however I needed to compare this with previous plans just to see how it would fit in with approved land uses. I do keep all emails on this subject to refer back to. You will see that what does concern me is that Tresham chose to report that RCC "flexed" planning to give Bellway a greater value. This does indicates to me that RCC supported the "scheme" referred to earlier in this email. Does this raise issues when it comes to Development Control?

This site has greater value than money as a sports field and recreational area for the town as a whole. We can never create such a green and mature area again in the town.

I do not understand why RCC do not taking every opportunity to give residents who overlook the proposed new parking facilities and residential development every opportunity to meet with Council officers to comment on the schemes . Time and time again I call for better consultation with the public and it appears opportunities are lost.

I make this request again, 'Can we please see all of the minutes previously refused to us of meetings that RCC has had with Tresham and the land agent when the future of this site has been discussed.                Openness, Transparency and Accountability

Richard Gale.





The Rutland Times has since reported the land mentioned is now likely to be leased to Rutland County Council for 99 years. So it can remain a public open space.

Although it is not clear if this is for the whole field.

Corby Northamptonshire, I like this huge building the colour of the exterior almost makes it invisible. The building is built on the former steel works Stewarts & Lloyds this was a steel tube manufacturer with its headquarters based at Corby, Northamptonshire, England. The company was created in 1903 by the amalgamation of two of the largest iron and steel makers in Britain A. & J. Stewart & Menzies Ltd, Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland and Lloyd & Lloyd Ltd, Birmingham, England.

There are two steel sculpture to remind people this was the former location of the steel works.
