As you may have realised the Carol Service in the church is on the 22nd December and not, unless there has been a fundamental change in the laws of physics, on the 22nd November. It has been corrected on the website.

The North Luffenham Carol Service will take place in the Church on Thursday 22nd December at 6.00 pm.

Please do come to the village carol service in the church; due to an irreparable breakdown of heating in the church it was advertised in the Benefice Magazine as taking place on The Oval. However, there isn’t much heating on The Oval either and the church would protect from the elements.

There will be a warm welcome, dress up warmly, sing lustily and celebrate with words and music the birth of Jesus!

Please come and give your views on development at St. George’s Barracks

Date: 22nd November from 5.30 pm until 8.00 pm in Edith Weston Village Hall

This drop in session is to consider proposals for the Officers’ Mess Site at Edith Weston as a stand alone site. However it has implications for any redevelopment of the rest of the St. George’s Barracks. That it is why it is important to give you views at this initial consultation

It is so important that we hear people’s experiences of living with dementia and that of their families and carers. This work will feed into the development of the Rutland Dementia Strategy which will hopefully lead to improvements for Rutland people.

The owners of the Water Gardens and fields below to the south have reported an increase in people trespassing on their land. They also report dogs being let off leads and dog mess not being picked up.

The Water Gardens and fields are private property and should not be entered unless given permission by the owners.

Residents are asked to keep to the footpaths, keep dogs on lead and clear up after them.

The fundraising event for Breast Cancer Now raised £240.40.

Many thanks to all who helped make this event possible and support the work of this charity.

It is important that local communities respond to this consultation because it is an opportunity for you to have a voice in the development of the new Local Plan for Rutland.

North Luffenham Parish Council has approved a guide to the important questions and advice on responses to this consultation. Hopefuly residents will find it useful to guide them through a complex document which is on the Rutland County Council Website.

Please respond by the 16th September: your opinion matters.

You may have different opinions; all comments are valid at this stage.
