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.
