There have been recent reports of fly tipping of green waste on The Oval. Residents are reminded that green waste from private gardens is not to be left on The Oval.
This Post will expire at 10:21am on Monday September 29th, 2025.
In the ongoing discussion with RCC on the contract with Biffa regarding waste bin emptying, the dog waste bin that was located on the allotments has been removed, and a new bin (taken from the play area) has been installed on the pavement next to Geoff Sewell Close.
This is due to Biffa not emptying any bins not located on the highway.
The draft minutes to be approved were previously published on the website by Cllr Smith.
The Annual Parish Council Meeting will be held on the 21st May at 7.15 pm in the Community Centre following the Annual Parish Meeting. Please see the agendas etc below.

There has been an ongoing issue with having the dog poo bins around the village emptied by Biffa, the RCC contractors, due to their classification as hazardous waste.
Biffa will, however, empty standard rubbish bins…
The Parish Council have therefore replaced the red dog waste bins with grey rubbish bins.
Could dog owners please use these new bins from now on for poo bags.
Do you know of anyone who goes above and beyond for North Luffenham?

There was a delay posting these online but the eagle eyed parishioners will have noticed the agendas were on the noticeboards last week.

Discussions concerning evolution are continuing at a pace and for further information please go to the RCC website where there is more detailed information: http://www.rutland.gov.uk/devolution
The agenda and reports for Special Council on Tuesday 11 March will be published on the Council’s website a week before to the meeting date: www.rutland.gov.uk/meetings.
Due to many misunderstandings, it has become clear that the document needed it’s headings updated so the items can accurately reflect where money has been spent.
The figures haven’t changed at all, just the headings, so hopefully will now be easier for everyone to see where the Trust money has been spent. We have added two headings ‘General Admin’ and a section for the ‘Woodland Walk’ in which was previously looped in with the Allotments however, for transparency, it now has its own section.
