Rutland Council set to 'mothball' unit at Oakham Enterprise Park following relocation of firms for health and safety reasons
Changes look set to be implemented at Oakham Enterprise Park.
Rutland Council reports growing tenancy dissatisfaction over access to and the appearance of the development.
Cabinet members meeting next Tuesday (August 18) are recommended to approve spending to increasing fencing and security at the site.
A new mini-roundabout is also recommended for approval, to improve access to it.
Furthermore, councillors are also recommended to approve that Unit 5 is 'mothballed'.
A council report said: "Unit 5 Oakham Enterprise Park was until recently occupied by eight individual tenants.
"Following a survey a decision was made to vacate the units on health and safety grounds as costs to remediate non-compliance would have exceeded all anticipated income potential.
"All businesses were successfully relocated. Demolition of the units would result in exceptional expenditure in the order of £350,000 involving the remodelling of utilities that serve the wider site and asbestos removal works.
"Unit 5 does not currently present an aesthetic or structural
challenge therefore mothballing it pending a future site wide property strategy presents a more fiscally favourable solution."
