Oakham Town Council to Address Key Community Issues at Upcoming Meeting
The Oakham Town Council is set to convene for a full council meeting on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 6:30 PM. The meeting, which is open to the public and press, will take place at the Town Council Offices, Rol House, and promises to cover a range of topics critical to the local community.
A key item on the agenda is the ongoing discussion surrounding the Victoria Hall. Councillors will be reviewing the previous decision to move to the Victoria Hall, a topic of significant interest to local residents. The outcome of this review could have a notable impact on the future use and management of the hall.
Another point of discussion is a request for picnic benches for the Centenary Field. This proposal, if approved, would provide new amenities for a popular public space and enhance its appeal for families and visitors.
The council will also be looking to the festive season, with an agenda item dedicated to approving the upgrading of the town's Christmas tree. This decision will be an early step in the preparations for Christmas 2025, with the aim of creating a more impressive and festive display for the town.
Financially, the council will be busy. They are scheduled to consider and approve bank statements for July 2025, along with a review of their budget and year-to-date spending. A midpoint internal audit review will also be conducted, ensuring financial transparency and accountability.
Technological and communications updates are also on the table. The "Discover Oakham" website, located at www.discoveroakham.co.uk, is slated for an update, and the council will review the replacement of a Pod Point unit, an electric vehicle charging station.
The next meeting of the Oakham Town Council is scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. The public is reminded that while the meeting is open, participation is at the discretion of the Chairman, who may allow for questions of a factual nature.
