Rutland’s community safety partnership is hosting two market day events for residents to come along and discuss any concerns they may have about community safety in their local area.
The Safer Rutland Partnership is a group made up of local agencies, including Rutland County Council, Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. The partnership works together, and with local communities, to reduce crime and promote safety throughout the county.
The first community safety event takes place at Oakham Market on Wednesday 13 April, followed by Uppingham Market on Friday 29 April. Rutland County Council’s Community Safety team will be joined by representatives from Leicestershire Police, the Council’s Road Safety team and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service, as well as the health and social care organisation Turning Point. Residents will be able to ask questions and get helpful information about crime prevention, ways to keep safe and how to report any safety concerns where they live

It has been a rather strange two years, with restrictions on a lot of our usual activities and many people have missed the social interactions that are usually part of their everyday life. North Luffenham is a lovely village, with a lot of history and having village events & clubs enables us to develop a sense of community and friendship.
Please come along to our village ‘get together’ and make new friends, meet old friends, all while enjoying delicious homemade cakes & biscuits! There will also be coffee, tea and a variety of fruit & herbal teas available. The room is well ventilated and sanitiser will be available.
There is no entry charge for this event but cash donations will be given to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal.
For anyone needing assistance, help is available to get to the community centre.

As you may have seen around the village, the Men & Women in Sheds Team have been busy making bespoke garden furniture to order. Over the coming month we have some slots available should you want anything wooden built to your own design (or one inspired by us).
Our prices are very reasonable and are based on cost of the wood plus a donation to AgeUK to enable us to run the Shed.
Examples of our handiwork are picnic tables, garden benches, potting tables, bug boxes, mud kitchens & planters.

The Full Fibre Internet connection for the Community Centre and the School has been funded by RCC to encourage the further roll out of of fibre optic cabling in the village.
The installation by OpenReach has placed a limited number of properties within the connecting distance for a Full Fibre Internet upgrade. An upgrade would enable speeds of up to 1Gb/sec (Gigabit Internet)
The purple dots on the map below show which lucky residents now have availability for a full fibre connection.
You would need to contact your Internet provider for details on how to upgrade and costs.
