Oakham Town Council Issues Call for Local Contractors for Bandstand Repairs and Play Area Deep Cleans
Oakham Town Council is looking to invest in the upkeep of the town’s popular outdoor spaces and is currently inviting quotes from local businesses for two distinct maintenance projects.
The council is prioritising both the preservation of local landmarks and the hygiene of community play areas as the town prepares for increased footfall in the coming months.
The first project focuses on the historic Queen Elizbeth II bandstand at Cutts Close Park. A focal point for summer concerts and community gatherings, the bandstand’s brickwork is now in need of professional attention.
The council is seeking a qualified local builder to carry out essential repointing of the brickwork. This work is vital to ensure the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the bandstand, protecting it against weathering and long-term erosion.
In addition to the masonry work, the council has identified a need for a "deep clean" across three of Oakham’s busiest playgrounds. Residents have noted that equipment has become weathered and filthy dirty.
Contractors are being sought to jet wash and sanitize all play equipment at the following locations:
Royce Recreation Ground (Princess Avenue)
Cutts Close Park
Willow Crescent Play Area
The goal is to remove grime and buildup, ensuring that the equipment is clean, safe, and inviting for the town’s children.
Oakham Town Council is keen to work with local tradespeople and professional cleaning contractors. Those interested in providing a quote or seeking further technical specifications for either project are encouraged to reach out directly to the council administration.
Contact Information: All enquiries and expressions of interest should be directed via email to: enquiries@oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk
