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.
Could be turned into nice apartment located next door to Sainsbury's
corner shop
