As temperatures exceed levels that our wildlife is used to, especially over the next few days, could we ask people to please leave out bowls of water in our gardens and allotments to help them. It’s also particularly important to leave bowls of water on the ground and in accessible places overnight for hedgehogs and other wildlife to find.
Another important reminder from the RSPCA regarding domestic animals is to please remember not to walk your dogs, especially not on hard (potentially very hot and dry) surfaces, during the heat as this could cause heat stroke or prove fatal.

The North Luffenham Good Neighbour Scheme (NLGNS) was first set up 8 years ago and has provided support to villagers over those years. Many of our original supporters have now left, due to illness or moving away from the village. We had hoped to relaunch just as Covid closed down all activities.
During the lockdown it was the NGNS, partly supported by furloughed villagers, that kept up deliveries of prescriptions and coordinated collections from the local surgeries.
Now many of those volunteers are back at work and only five households support GNS. This is not sufficient to offer help every week since volunteers do not coordinate their holidays or times away.
A meeting to present how the GNS works is being held this Wednesday evening ( June 29th) in the Community Centre at 7pm. It should only take an hour.
Please come and hear about this voluntary scheme which is not too demanding but does fulfil an important function in our community.
Free.

North Luffenham Parish Council (NLPC) has funds from Community Infrastructure Levies (CIL). These payments are made when developments, such as houses being built, and the monies can be used for a broad range of facilities such as play areas, parks and green spaces, cultural and sports facilities. CIL monies were used following the Rosewood development to fund the new play equipment on The Oval.
NLPC would would welcome your suggestions as to how the present funds could be used to enhance facilities within the parish. Please send any ideas to the parish clerk: clerk@northluffenham.org.uk
Further information on CIL can be found on: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy#spending-the-levy
A resident took it upon herself to clean up the bus stop in Church Street as she was concerned about the image it gave of the village and possible injury from broken glass. Unfortunately the graffiti will take longer to erase. The pictures speak for themselves.
This month we welcome our local Bee Expert, Mike Wyatt. Mike has lived in the village for many years and you will have seen him walking the lanes in his bee overalls – well now’s the the opportunity to find all about what he does and how you can help our bee community 😊
