Rutland County Council will hold a Special Full Council meeting next week on Wednesday 1st September at 7.00pm to determine if Rutland’s Draft Local Plan should be withdrawn from examination.

The meeting will be held at the Rutland Showground but because of restrictions members of the public who wish to attend will be limited to 60 people.

It makes a difference if County Coucillors are aware that a large number of the public are listening into the deabte and there will be a live audiostream: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85261800870

The report to the council can be downloaded:

The stretch of road running adjacent to the Golf Course will be Out Of Bounds to all between the stated dates.

Under no circumstances are personnel to encroach into this area.

(Apologies for the late posting of this notice from the M.o.D St. George’s Barracks but it wasn’t received until yesterday)

Please note that as from this week, the foodbank collection will return to the church now that it is  open daily. 

 No box will be left in the telephone box. Two boxes are located in the church porch and will be  available to fill 9am-5pm every day.  

 The foodbank team will collect the boxes fortnightly and return empty boxes in their place. Please do continue to support the local charity. 

Many thanks on behalf of Rutland Foodbank

NLPC approved the extension of the walk so that it came out at the top of Pinfold Land near the junction with the Edith Weston Rd. some time ago. Unfrotunately there have been delays in getting a contractor to do the required fencing.

Walkers are kindly requested to keep to the present walkway and not walk across the top of the field that is close to Geoff Sewell Close and the Edith Weston Rd..

Villagers in North Luffenham may be interested in the “Men in Sheds” Oakham project. This is a fully equipped workshop, located at Oakham Enterprise Park, available to the over 50’s who would like to use and share practical skills, tools and resources to work on projects of their own choosing.

East Midlands Today featured the project during one of their local news programmes, click on the link below to view the news report

More details on the workshop, and how to take part are on the website, Men in Sheds | Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland and in the attached poster

Many thanks for everybody who has donated to the project. The benches have now been ordered and a contractor has given an estimate for their siting. To complete the funding of the project probably another £600 needs to be raised.

If you would like to donate then please contact the NLPC Clerk: clerk@northluffenham.org.uk
