Lost Key
If any local residents happen to be walking around the North Luffenham Woodland walk would you please keep a lookout for a lost key.
It’s a very ordinary looking NON Yale type but the key ring holding it is very personal to me ( present from the grandchildren); it’s a big brass flat plate with the immortal words Dad’s keys inscribed on it in black and its taken me all these years to drop it somewhere on the Walk and I am pretty sure that it will be along the first facing North stretch to the first major 90 degree turn up towards the main road. I don’t go any further!!!
I have now re-walked this stretch twice to no avail but I live in hope!
If successful pls do give me a call and I will collect. 01780 720689

Statue Unveiling Invitation
From Dr Sarah Furness.
You are invited to the unveiling of Rutland’s memorial statue to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. I hope that it will be a happy family occasion and encourage as many people as possible to come. Dogs on leads are also very welcome!
The Rutland statue of our late queen, HM Queen Elizabeth II, is the first to be commissioned since her death. It will be officially unveiled on
what would have been her birthday as a fitting tribute to Britain’s longest reigning and possibly greatest monarch.
It was created in response to the depth of loss felt in Rutland on the late Queen’s death. Due to the incredible generous donations from local people
(95% of the cost was raised by many individuals and some businesses), sufficient funds were available for our Lord Lieutenant Dr Sarah Furness to
be able to commission a full-figure statue showing her in her prime.
Sculptor Hywel Pratley, a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and Society of Portrait Sculptors, was selected as the sculptor and has
done a magnificent job using a local foundry.
If you would like more information about the day please visit the Lord Lieutenants website at: www.rutlandlordlieutenant.org

River Chater footpath bridge replacement
The replacement foot bridge over the River Chater on the footpath from the Church to Glebe Road is ready to be installed. Heavy equipment is required to get it into place and unfortunately with the recent storms the ground is too wet.
Rutland County Council has contacted that the contracter hopes to be able to install the bridge in about three weeks. However this is dependent on the ground being able to take the equipment and the agreement of the landowners.
Let’s hope for a dry(ish) spell!
