North Luffenham Parish Council has yet again had complaints about dog mess on paths and from residents who have open plan front lawns within the village.

The majority of dog owners are responsible but for those who think it doesn’t matter dog mess is offensive and a health hazard, especailly for children.

A proposal was put forward by a resident of South Luffenham for benches at intervals on the walk from South Luffenham, around North Luffenham and The Settings. For those less able it would give the opportunity to have a rest, enjoy the views and the exercise would be beneficial to their health and well being. North Luffenham Parish Council (NLPC) felt that this was a good idea as it would also be of benefit to residents of North Luffenham as well. In a joint venture with South Luffenham Parish Council (SLPC) NLPC has resolved to enable this proposal.

Below is a picture of the type of bench chosen. A map of the sites for the benches can be downloaded. NLPC is appealing for funds for the purchase of the benches and their secure placements. SLPC will also be appealing to their residents. If you would like to donate please contact the clerk: clerk@northluffenham.org.uk

Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride (DGR) 2021

 The DGR unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.

 Looks like the date for this year’s DGR is going to be at a potentially warmer and drier time of the year this time (fingers crossed) for the UK.

The 2021 Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is going ahead on its new date of Sunday 23rd May 2021.

A few of us from South Luffenham are planning to get together and join the ride in Cambridge; please use the links below to register and let us know if you’d like to join us.
