Damage to Play Equipment on The Oval

There has been damge to play equipment on The Oval and unfortunately it looks deliberate. There has also been damage to the wooden bridge over the River Chater on the footpath from the Church towards the railway bridge on Glebe Rd. It also looks as though it might have been deliberate.

Draft Neighbourhood Plan

The draft North Luffenham Neighbourhood Plan, having been approved by North Luffenham Parich Council, has been submitted to Rutland County Council for screening to make sure it complies with various statutory reqiurments. This takes 4-6 weeks and if it meets these requirements there will be an extensive consultation, called Regulation 14, with residents of the parish.

Have you lost a dog?

Please note the contact number is 07811137791: the incorrect number was on the previous post.

Access to the old railway line at South Luffenham withdrawn.

South Luffenham have informed us of an access closure and this may affect walkers from North Luffenham.

The owners of the land behind Gatehouse Lane have informed the Chairman that they have decided to withdraw access to the old railway line via the field behind Gatehouse Lane. Access was originally allowed through a permitted access route which expired in 2011. They allowed access to continue through goodwill but have recently decided to withdraw this as some people were allowing dogs to run in the crops and were not clearing up after them.

There was a good community response to form a steering group and please see below for the results:

Renewable energy at St George’s Barracks ?

19 Replies

Two residents would like your opinion (see below): to comment please go to the Village Wall.

We have been thinking about renewable energy and the possible use of North Luffenham airfield as a wind and solar site. We have been attending parish council meetings to open a dialogue along these lines. We would be interested in the thoughts of the North Luffenham residents and your feedback which you can post on the wall.

During the lockdowns clubs were unable to meet but it is hoped that as restrictions are eased to revive the once active Garden Club.

There will be a meeting on Wednesday 16th February at 6.30pm in the Community Centre.

You don’t have to be a keen gardener; just to be interested.

Worming of dogs

A local farmer has reported that a number of sheep have died, most likely due to helminth infection. This is probably due to them being in contact with dog waste. This can be prevented by six monthly worming of dogs.

Please could owners of dogs using the Woodland Walk not let their dogs go on the arable area adjacent to the walk.

Benches

Some eight months ago the siting of benches around the circular walk of Glebe Rd, the Settings, Moor Lane and near South Luffenham was proposed. Finally the Benches have been sited and provide a place to rest awhile, especially those less able, and enjoy the countryside.

North Luffenhan and South Luffenham Parish Councils would like to thank the residents of North and South Luffenham and the organisations for their generous donations that have made this possible.

Thanks also to Ash Bates for his help in securing the benches to their bases
