Election – May 2023

It has been released today from RCC that there is not a contested election for the Parish Council.

As only 4 applicants applied, this means there will be no election however it does mean there is enough councillors to form a parish council with the availability for co-option, after May, for anyone who may have a change of heart and wishes to become a Parish Councillor. There are 4 seats available for co-option.

The election for Ward Councillor will take place due to 4 nominees for 2 Ward Councillor vacancies. The poll will take place on Thursday the 4th of May between 7am and 10pm.

REMINDER: Annual Parish Meeting Tonight at 7pm

The Annual Parish meeting is due to be held tonight at 7pm at the Community Centre. Please see agenda below:

Glebe Road Bins: problem with collection

Due to roadworks/road closure Biffa were unable to collect the grey bins on Glebe Road, North Luffenham last week. They tried again on Saturday but were still unable to collect them. As the road is scheduled to be closed until 17 March 2023, we are anticipating that there may be problems with the black and green bin collections. Biffa have a smaller vehicle that should be able to access Glebe Road to collect all the bins but this may not be available until Thursday 9 March 2023.

Please leave bins out until they have been collected.

Woodland Walk Extended

The Woodland Walk has been extended with fencing along the inside of the hedge adjacent to the hedge next to the Edith Weston Rd.. The exit is by a gate at the top of Pinfold Lane near the junction with Edith Weston Rd..

Please pick up after your dog and do not let your dog loose on the farmland.

Church Bell Ringing

A few weeks ago the bells were inspected to make sure all was safe and were rung recently. Apparently a few people were concerned that all was not well. It is pleasing to report that parish life has continued on as normal.

So, please just enjoy and don’t be alarmed when the bells are rung again on Tuesday 21st February between 7.30pm – 9.00pm.
