Rutland County Council's public offices have been closed since August 18, with no immediate date set for reopening. The sudden closure was addressed by Cllr Sam Harvey, the deputy chairman of Rutland County Council, who stated that the reason for the closure is "legitimate" and that "staff safety is a priority."
Cllr Harvey confirmed that she could not provide any further details regarding the incident that led to the closure. However, he emphasised that the council's top priority is to ensure the well-being of its employees. "We will reopen as soon as it is possible," she added, without specifying a timeline.
The council has not released any official statement clarifying the nature of the safety concerns. The lack of information has prompted concerns from members of the public about the reason for the closure and there own personal safety when out and about in Oakham.
The closure of the public offices has disrupted various council services that require in-person interaction. Residents. The council has directed residents to use online services or contact them by phone where possible.
The closure of a public building for safety reasons is not unprecedented, but the lack of a detailed explanation has left many people in the dark. As the council works to resolve the issue, the community awaits further communication and an update on when the offices will be accessible again.
