Brooke Road, Oakham, is now not expected to reopen until 30 November (Rutland County Council).

Rutland County Council and Burmor Construction Ltd have issued a statement regarding an extension to the temporary closure of Brooke Road, Oakham.

The reopening of Brooke Road has been delayed until 30 November.

A spokesperson for the council said: "Efforts to carry out essential highway and utility works taking place as part the Brooke Road Allotments Development have been severely disrupted by delays to tree felling and the discovery of various utility services in locations not shown on plans or formal records. This has required a complete redesign of kerb and drainage solutions for the development, as well as additional permits and approvals from utility companies. More time is therefore needed to complete the works.

"Although it is not possible to reopen Brooke Road to vehicles, due to the nature of the works that remain, Burmor Construction Ltd expect to reinstate partial pedestrian access from the beginning of November.

"Effective from Monday 4 November, the footpath along Brooke Road will be opened under supervision from 8am to 9am and 3pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday. This is intended to facilitate school pedestrian access and will be marshalled at either end by a Burmor representative, for health and safety reasons.

"Current arrangements for any Brooke Road residents with suspended parking bays will remain the same throughout the extended closure period. Existing season tickets can continue to be displayed and are valid until the end of the road closure."
