Centrebus R2 service

With immediate effect, the R2 service will not make a turnaround manoeuvre at the Wheatsheaf in Greetham, but will continue along to the next roundabout and then return to Greetham to continue its route.  We apologise for the delays that this will cause. If the service cannot resume its usual provision then a revised timetable will be put in place in due course.

Brooke Road closure - Monday 22nd July to Friday 11th October 2024

Part of Brooke Road in Oakham is to close from Monday 22 July to Friday 11 October 2024, so that work on a nearby housing development can take place safely.

The closure will be put in place between the junctions of Derwent Drive and Cricket Lawns, across the Brooke Road railway crossing. Traffic will be diverted via Welland Way, Balmoral Road, Braunston Road and Oakham High Street, for the duration of the closure.

The works themselves will involve widening the highway to improve traffic flow along the closed section of road, as well as creating a new entrance to the Brooke Road Allotments Development site.

The road will be closed on both sides of the railway line, to comply with Network Rail. Vehicle and pedestrian access for houses within the limits of the closure will be maintained at all times. It will not be possible to cross the Brook Road level crossing by vehicle or on foot.
