The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Following the sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth ll we are now in a period of public grief and national mourning. The Parish Council is still waiting to hear exactly how public protocol will be applied at this time
However, this is to let you know that all formal meetings until after the Queen’s funeral are to be postponed. This means that our expected meeting on Monday 19th September will not now take place. While as a council, we would wish to show proper respect, it is the case that any decision made during a period of mourning may be subject to legal challenge.
I will keep you informed about when the council is next able to meet formally.

Phone Issues Update
The current outage of the telephone system in North Luffenham has been confirmed to be caused by theft of the copper cables from the Telephone Exchange on Ketton Road to the villages.
Internet services are not affected as they are carried by fibre optic cable from the Exchange to the villages, and only use copper cable from the green cabinets on the streets.
Various estimates from BT have been reported to reinstate the telephone services, but the last time this happened it took approximately 10 days to repair the cable.
A further road closure in September
Phone Line Update
Thanks everyone for the information on the phone line outage.
It looks like all villages served by the North Luffenham exchange- North Luffenham, South Luffenham, Edith Weston and potentially Barrowden – are affected
BT are aware and working on it
The earliest estimate from BT / Openreach to resolve the problem is tomorrow evening
Phones down in Lyndon Road
