The Peacock
In the gardens at the back of Oakham Library is a popular feature with visitors and residents - The Peacock! 'Rescued' in 2011 from the old prison site at Ashwell, the Peacock was installed and planted in 2012.

The bypass and its roundabouts have been the biggest project for Oakham In Bloom in recent years. Throughout 2009 Oakham In Bloom planned to develop the centres of the five roundabouts along the bypass – a long term project over several years.
