Hi

Looking for someone to help out with mowing lawns, once a week for the next 4 weeks.

Lawn mower provided, payment by negotiation

Call Lin on 01780721674 if you would like to earn some extra cash 🙂

A full grey wheelie bin has been discovered in Old School Close. It does not belong to any of the houses there.  It looks like a new bin so may have been recently ordered. It is thought that it may belong to a property in the Deweys Close/Butt Lane area of North Luffenham.  If any householder thinks it belongs to them the bin is currently reposing on the pavement outside No. 21 Church Street and can be collected from there

As you can see we are still being targeted for Burglary related crime including sheds, garages & stables, whereby power tools and gardening equipment are stolen. We are targeting offenders, carrying out police patrols in the areas affected and liaising with neighbouring police forces.

We are urging residents to review their home security, especially their sheds and outbuildings.

Our Problems solving plans of tackling hare coursing along the A47 corridor villages and tackling the increased threat of lead thefts from church roofs have now been closed.

We have visited all Rutland Churches and carried out risk assessments on their security to reduce the threat and continue to patrol identified high risk Churches.

Last week there was a lead theft seminar held at St Mary’s Church, Melton Mowbray, which was well attended and discussed the current threat levels and crime prevention.

Since the beginning of April 2016, there has now only been 1 report of hare coursing on the Rutland South beat reported to police. Incidents relating to hare coursing have also dropped off on the neighbouring Rutland north beat. Hare coursing historically drops off this time of year when the crops in fields begin to grow, restricting hare coursing.

This problem profile is seasonal, occurring from November to April and is dependant on conditions and weather.
There have been no prosecutions specifically linked to hare coursers in Rutland during the problem profile period this year, but there has been vehicle seizures and numerous stop checks and Intelligence obtained. Rural Watch and Farm Watch have been utilised as has social media such as Facebook and twitter, to keep the rural / farming community informed.

The pupils at St Mary and St John Primary School in North Luffenham spent last week coming up with a range of inventive ideas to support the campaign.Some classes chose to don their favourite outfit and dance for 30 minutes, while others were swimming, or skipping, scootering or biking around a course.

Pupils build their own model satellites

The theme has been space and the aim of the week is to spark children’s enthusiasm and celebrate all things scientific and technological, with some maths and engineering thrown in.

Families were challenged to build a vehicle that would transport a chocolate bar to a fixed target, and demonstrate a scientific understanding, accuracy and durability.

An amazing array of ideas were tested, with the Hodson family winning the competition.

Just a reminder that we have a really excellent film lined up for you on March 9th.  Brooklyn is an uplifting movie, aimed to raise your spirits if spring is being a tad tardy over on your side of the hemisphere (I’m happily on the other side for a bit longer!).  

Usual time and place – Uppingham Town Hall, 7 for a 7.30 start, £5 on the door, bring anything you like to drink.

Bear in mind that next month we have not been able to go for our usual second Wednesday of the month slot but rather the 1st Wednesday as a ‘one off’  – but I’ll send you a reminder for that one.  Meantime, I hope you all enjoy Brooklyn.  Susie
