Agendas for the Parish Council Meetings on 26th June at 7.0pm in the Community Centre.
Recycling Centre to close temporarily.
Due to sewer repair works by Anglian Water taking place on Willoughby Road in Morcott, North Luffenham Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) will be closed from 24th June 2024 whilst work is completed.
To allow the work to take place Willoughby Road will be closed and therefore there will be no safe access routes to the HWRC for larger vehicles/HGVs to empty containers. The repair works are due to be completed on Tuesday 2nd July, following which the site will reopen.
To ensure that residents continue to have access to an HWRC during this time, Rutland County Council will be opening Cottesmore HWRC for 7 days a week (10am – 6pm) until North Luffenham HWRC is reopen.
Please note that Cottesmore HWRC is unable to accept trailers and is extremely busy on Fridays, so please avoid visiting on this day if at all possible
