Bench News 2

With further exciting news on benches in North Luffenham (we know how to attract people to the web site…) a new bench was installed on the Oval today.

This was purchased by the Parish Council from the Men and Women in Sheds project in Oakham, and has a special space left free for pushchairs or wheelchair users.

Thanks to Ash Bates for the installation of the benches on the Circular Walk and all the people who donated money for the purchase

Worming of dogs

A local farmer has reported that a number of sheep have died, most likely due to helminth infection. This is probably due to them being in contact with dog waste. This can be prevented by six monthly worming of dogs.

Please could owners of dogs using the Woodland Walk not let their dogs go on the arable area adjacent to the walk.

CHALKED CROSSES ON PROPERTY

I have just noticed these chalked crosses on a property in the village. They could have been there for ages and are perfectly innocent. However, they can signal something to those with ill-intent. Please be vigilant. I have reported it to 101 who will see if there have been any related incidents.

Benches

Some eight months ago the siting of benches around the circular walk of Glebe Rd, the Settings, Moor Lane and near South Luffenham was proposed. Finally the Benches have been sited and provide a place to rest awhile, especially those less able, and enjoy the countryside.

North Luffenhan and South Luffenham Parish Councils would like to thank the residents of North and South Luffenham and the organisations for their generous donations that have made this possible.

Thanks also to Ash Bates for his help in securing the benches to their bases

Storm Damage on The Oval

If walking on The Oval that there is a large broken branch, assumed from the storm damaged, caught in a tree waiting to drop. This is right above the pathways through the trees at the back of the cricket club. There are possibly other tree affected. NLPC will be engaging a firm to clear the debris from the storm.
