About

Oakham South ward encompasses the southern portion of Rutland's county town. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing types from older terraced homes to more modern developments. It includes the campus of Rutland County College, a key educational facility for the region. The western boundary is partly defined by the route of the former Oakham to Melton Mowbray railway line.

The ward contains the historic Hambleton Road, which leads towards Rutland Water. Local amenities are centred along the South Street area, serving the community's daily needs. A notable feature is the presence of the original Oakham Castle's Norman motte, a prominent grassy mound that is a scheduled ancient monument within the urban landscape.
