If you have not already done so, could you spend an important 5 minutes adding your views to the Community Hall Survey. The survey will close next Friday, 6th February, and the input from the village will be used to steer the decisions on the next steps.

Ensure your views are recorded for consideration, the link to the survey is below: https://forms.gle/ykQDnYL5arwtP5aN8

New Community Hall Survey – Please Take Part

The Parish Council are considering the use of CiL Funding to initiate the building of a new Community Hall in the village, to replace the existing Community Centre room.

In order to gather the views of the Parishioners of North Luffenham on what would be important to them with such a project, an online survey has been created, see the link below.

https://forms.gle/c26zAaMbya9LGJkT7

We would ask that as many residents of North Luffenham Parish as possible please provide their input, as the project is starting with a clean sheet, and this is the ideal time to provide your ideas and views.

This will be an online only survey. If you are aware of people who lack Internet access or computer skills could you please assist them to input their views.

The survey will run for two weeks, until Friday 6th February

North Luffenham Monthly Parish Magazine delivery


For many years every house in the village has received a monthly copy of the Parish
Magazine thanks to a small army of volunteer distributors who deliver to a set 25 or so
properties.

Individual circumstances have led to a number of the distributors having to step down from this monthly commitment and there are now 4 or 5 gaps that urgently need filling.

If you can set aside half an hour a month to deliver approx. 25 magazines, please get in touch with the new distribution co-ordinator Nic Merrett on 07801 983530. He would be very pleased to hear from you.

Thank you!
