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.

Reminder – Saturday 2nd April for Coffee, Cake & Chat
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.

Access to the old railway line at South Luffenham withdrawn.
South Luffenham have informed us of an access closure and this may affect walkers from North Luffenham.
The owners of the land behind Gatehouse Lane have informed the Chairman that they have decided to withdraw access to the old railway line via the field behind Gatehouse Lane. Access was originally allowed through a permitted access route which expired in 2011. They allowed access to continue through goodwill but have recently decided to withdraw this as some people were allowing dogs to run in the crops and were not clearing up after them.
