Please accept our sincere apologies for the ongoing fire alarm on Sunday night and into the morning. Unlike our intruder alarm, the fire alarm requires personnel from our alarm company to attend the site to check for a fire and reset the alarm. After following up with them today it appears there was a personnel issue and the failsafe back up system did not kick in. They have apologised and have assured us that it will not happen again.

The firm emptying our roadside bins at the junction of Glebe Road and Lyndon Road, adjacent to The Jetties, report that it is constantly filled with cat litter. It has recently been emptied but once again is overflowing due to cat litter.
Cat litter should be put into the black bin and not roadside bins.


The replacing of the 240 litre black bins with smaller 140 litre bins from Monday 2 March 2026 onwards. The process is simple and will coincide with your normal black bin collection day.
Just keep putting your black household waste bin out for collection, as normal. At some point in March, it will be emptied, taken away and replaced with your new, smaller black bin. This will be done all in one go, so that your old bin is emptied, removed and replaced at the same time, on a normal black bin collection day. RCC plan to complete all bin swaps by 30 March.
There have been reports that some of the smaller bins delivered today havef mis-shapen lids.
The supplier and he has advised that the plastic has a memory and will settle and return to its right shape and that this can happen during storage and transportation.
Rutland County Council is introducing new weekly food waste collections for households, starting from Monday 30 March 2026. For more information: www.rutland.gov.uk/recycling

We are so excited to be presenting Handel’s Messiah for our Spring concert on Saturday
28th March at 7.30pm, Oakham School Chapel, Oakham. Rehearsals are now well under
way of this powerful and much loved work under the enthusiastic and expert leadership of
our musical director Jamie Conway. We will be joined by the Raikes Consort orchestra
together with professional soloists. This will be the biggest production Rutland Choral
Society has ever put on making this a stand out, not to be missed concert.
Jamie says “The Messiah is in many ways the pre-eminent choral masterpiece. I am so
excited to bring this story to life with the Rutland Choral Society. The choir has come on a
tremendous journey in the two and a half years I have been working with them, and they
perform with not only beautiful singing, but such meaning and a connection to the music and
libretto. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience all three parts of the Messiah
performed with the Raikes Consort and a top-rate team of soloists.”
Make sure you don’t miss out and get your tickets now priced £20 (under 16’s free) from
