North Luffenham Parish Council would like to thank all the volunteers who helped to make bonfire night a success. It was a good parish event; people were generous with their donations so that costs were well covered and there will be a surplus.
Thanks also to those who helped with the clear up. It is much appreciated.
Due to the high value of wood this year the Parish Council are not able source pallets for the bonfire in the usual volume.
If you have any old wood suitable for burning please feel free to add it to the bonfire pile on the Oval
There is to an EGM to discuss the policies and in particular the Local Green Spaces designation in those policies.
Once the policies are finalised the parish will be consulted on those polices: there will a post on the website, an Exhibition in the Community Centre and a posting to each household.
The annual Bonfire & Fireworks event hosted by North Luffenham Parish Council will go ahead on The Oval on Friday 5th November 2021.
Doors Open 5.30pm; Bonfire lit 6.15pm; Fireworks 6.30pm
The Cricket Club will be running the BBQ (to raise funds to continue the good works on the wicket); Janet Whittaker & Judy Cade will be offering hot & cold refreshments from the Pavilion with home-made seasonal cake; Lin Burrows will be serving her specially prepared Mulled Wine whilst Charles Cade & Pete Burrows are in charge of lighting the fire & fireworks. Our Chair of the Parish Council – Tim Smith – will be co-ordinating the important task of the ‘Donation bucket collection’. All this helps to offset the costs so please be generous to enable this event to continue.
Whilst The Scouts will be sporting high vis jackets and stewarding the perimeter and entry points, more volunteers are needed on the night to assist with ensuring a safe and enjoyable evening.
If you can help, please contact any of the above teams or Charles Cade on 01780 720467.
Thank you 😉

At a special meeting of Rutland County Council on the 1st September the decision was taken to withdraw the submitted Local Plan (LP) and the making of a new Local Plan.
The main strategic aim of the LP was to build a town bigger than Uppingham on the St. George’s Barracks (SGB) site.
Over the past four years North Luffenham Parish Council (NLPC) along with the help of local residents, local communities and our county councillors have attended many meetings, given deputations and asked questions as there were serious concerns about the deliverability and viability of the submitted LP. Not least were the concerns of the effects that such a large scale development would have on local parishes.
There will be development at SGB and NLPC, in early 2020, initiated a Neighbourhood Plan (NP-plan for our parish) in order to have a significant influence on any development. This now becomes more important for any development proposals that are submitted for SGB as it will take a new LP some 3-4 years to develop.
At the meeting on the 1st, NLPC made the point that one of the reasons that the submitted LP caused so much controversy was the lack of meaningful consultation with the most affected communities. Going forward it is to be hoped that from the beginning the necessary involvement will now take place.
