As the Rutland schools returned today limited pedestrian access across Brooke Road Level Crossing in Oakham is being introduced
as the building work continues on the allotment site. The crossing will be supervised between 8:00 and 9:00am and 3:00 and 4:00pm each weekday throughout this month. Rutland County Council say construction is being stopped at these times to allow pedestrians to cross and that the free Oakham Hopper minibus is continuing to run an extended route to serve both sides of the closure. Drivers will continue to be diverted at all times. Portfolio holder for Highways Christine Wise says it's only now possible to allow pedestrian access past the site and only for two hours each weekday.
‘We have to appreciate that that piece of road is effectively part of the building site until they have completed all that section of work. So from site safety in a public safety point of view, that site has to remain closed. So when we have those two hours a day in November from 8:00am till 9:00am and then from 3:00pm till 4:00pm they will stop work on the site and they will have supervised access for pedestrians at either end of that to maintain public safety and they can only do that because of the stage of development that they are at’.
