Wake For Ken Forsyth
From Julie Abell
For those who knew Ken Forsyth of Oval Close, he sadly passed away recently.
His daughter Rachel has asked me to pass on an invitation to his wake on Thursday 22nd February at 12pm at Stamford Masonic Hall.
Nothing formal, a few words from his
son Ian, some lunch, and an opportunity to share memories of Ken.If anyone wants to come, they are very welcome.
Rachel has asked that if you let me know if you hope to come so she can plan catering.

Reminder – Local Plan Consultation Tonight 6-9pm
Where: North Luffenham Community Centre.
When: 6pm to 9pm.
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.
