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
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

A reminder that there will be information on the Local Plan Consultation this evening in the Community Centre
Consultation closes on Monday, and so there are only 5 days left to make representations with your views.
This is the only public consultation stage that allows changes to the content of plan based on public input.
The plan does suggest changes to the Limits of Planned Development for North Luffenham, and also allocates a site for residential development, and so it is worth reviewing if only for these items that may impact the village.
There will be two paper copies of the Local Plan available to read, along with a multitude of laptops available to access the online interactive maps and to allow those, who wish, to make a comment on the day using the online portal.
Most importantly both County Councillors (one of which, I am sure you will know, is the leader of the council) will be in attendance to answer questions that you may have in relation to the local plan.
North Luffenham Parish Councillors will be in attendance to help with the online access only. They will not be answering questions about the Parish Councils response. This event is for the public to see the Local Plan and ask questions to the county councillors.
The draft Local Plan and all the supporting documents are available on the Ruland County Council website: https://www.rutland.gov.uk/planning-building-control/local-plan/new-local-plan.
