Does anyone know who owns the blue Audi that has been parked on Lyndon Road opposite Luffenham Court for a long time without moving?
There will be removals vans requiring access to Luffenham Court in the next few days and it would be appreciated if the car could be moved to prevent congestion during this period
Have you lost a rabbit?
UPDATE: 13/9/18 Two similar rabbits have now been spotted together at the same spot.
An obviously domestic rabbit has been spotted over the last 2-3wks on Pilton Rd. ‘in and around’ the small 180* shaped recently cleared field which is on the left going towards Pilton and on the opposite side of the road to the Equestrian Centre

A parishioner recently had a phone call from a call centre – the number shown was 01332913168.
The caller tried to give the impression that they were from some sort of official ‘emergency services response’ organisation, with teams touring the area to ‘explain’ how the emergency services prioritise and respond to emergency calls. Ambulance and police were mentioned.
At first, the parishoner thought that it might have something to do with the area emergency response planning which the PC has had some involvement with, and so they did not immediately hang up. However, it quickly became apparent that this was a home alarm systems sales pitch.
Please be aware of this type of approach if you receive a similar call.
