Safer Rutland Partnership – Community Events

Rutland’s community safety partnership is hosting two market day events for residents to come along and discuss any concerns they may have about community safety in their local area.

The Safer Rutland Partnership is a group made up of local agencies, including Rutland County Council, Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. The partnership works together, and with local communities, to reduce crime and promote safety throughout the county.

The first community safety event takes place at Oakham Market on Wednesday 13 April, followed by Uppingham Market on Friday 29 April. Rutland County Council’s Community Safety team will be joined by representatives from Leicestershire Police, the Council’s Road Safety team and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, as well as the health and social care organisation Turning Point. Residents will be able to ask questions and get helpful information about crime prevention, ways to keep safe and how to report any safety concerns where they live

Unacceptable behavior

It has been brought to the Parish Councils attention that someone or people have been shooting at and killing pigeons in and around the Oval Recreation Ground. Please be aware that it is an offence to shoot wild birds without a license and cause. The matter has been reported to the police and they will be now be carrying out additional surveillance of the area

Fly Tipping on the Oval

It has been brought to my attention that someone has tipped their garden waste (buddleia branches) on the Oval behind the new electricity sub-station.

The Oval is not a place to deposit your garden waste, this should either be put in your green bin or taken to the Civic amenity site on the road to Morcott. There is no charge for taking your waste there

Thank you

Rutland Local Plan

Rutland County Council has issued a ‘Call for Sites’ as one of the very first steps in the process to develop a new Local Plan.

Local Plans are important documents that help to determine the outcome of planning applications and other planning decisions. Every Planning Authority (including Rutland County Council) must have a Local Plan that states what can be built and where building should take place over a period of at least 15 years. By setting the pattern for future development in a particular area, Local Plans also help to decide where investment is needed for infrastructure like roads, schools and health services.

A ‘Call for Sites’ is one of the very first stages of developing a new Local Plan. During the Call for Sites, individuals, landowners and developers are asked to suggest areas of land which they think may be suitable for future development like new housing or space for businesses, depending on the county’s needs. Submitting land as part of the Call for Sites only places that land in front of Rutland County Council for consideration, ahead of formal public consultation. Submitting land for inclusion in the Call for Sites does not mean it will automatically become part of the Local Plan or receive planning permission.

Rutland’s Call for Sites was issued on Friday 4 February and notification has been sent to all those on the Council’s Local Plan mailing list. This will be followed by the ‘Issues and Options’ stage of Local Plan-making, which is due to take place in spring 2022. This is critical to the development of the Local Plan and will outline the long-term strategic planning issues facing Rutland, such as housing, employment, services and facilities, climate change and carbon reduction, and impact on infrastructure. An Issues and Options consultation will ask residents, businesses and other stakeholders whether they agree with the issues that have been identified and, importantly, which options provide the best solutions to those issues.

The process to develop a new Local Plan for Rutland that will cover the period up to 2041 is expected to take around four years. If you have any questions about the Call for Sites or would like any further information about the Local Plan process at this early stage, please visit: www.rutland.gov.uk/localplan or email: localplan@rutland.gov.uk.
