Oakham residents are experiencing significant travel disruption this evening following a serious incident at the Stamford Road roundabout, the junction of Stamford Road, the A6003, and the A606. Leicestershire Police have confirmed the closure of all roads and pedestrian access leading to the roundabout, with emergency services currently on the scene.
The incident, which occurred earlier this evening, has prompted a significant response from Leicestershire Police and other emergency personnel. Police have been observed deploying a drone over the area, which was subsequently landed on the Oakham Bypass at approximately 8:00 PM. This suggests a thorough investigation is underway.
Leicestershire Police indicated that the roads and footpaths leading to the Stamford Road roundabout will remain closed for at least the next four hours.
Drivers are strongly advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. Pedestrians are also urged to refrain from attempting to access the closed area.
The exact nature of the incident remains unclear at this time. Leicestershire Police have not released further details, but the presence of the drone and the extended road closures suggest a serious situation.
Motorists are advised to check local traffic updates and plan their journeys accordingly. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available from Leicestershire Police.
