How can we spend your money? Your ideas and suggestions wanted.
North Luffenham Parish Council (NLPC) has funds from Community Infrastructure Levies (CIL). These payments are made when developments, such as houses being built, and the monies can be used for a broad range of facilities such as play areas, parks and green spaces, cultural and sports facilities. CIL monies were used following the Rosewood development to fund the new play equipment on The Oval.
NLPC would would welcome your suggestions as to how the present funds could be used to enhance facilities within the parish. Please send any ideas to the parish clerk: clerk@northluffenham.org.uk
Further information on CIL can be found on: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy#spending-the-levy

Antisocial Behaviour
Unfortunately there has been more antisocial behaviour in the parish. The newly installed benchdown Moor Lane has had some infantile daubings scrawled on it:

There was recently damage to play equipment on The Oval and to the wooden field bridge over The Chater. Previoulsy there was vandalism of the wall lights on the wall leading down to the school and church. The repair to the play equipment is quite costly and these may result in an increase in the precept.
Please report any suspicious behaviour to the police, who have been informed of the incidents and our beat officer can be contacted: Peter.Icke@leics.police.uk
Jubilee Fun @ The Boot, South Luffenham

Thank You to All who came & contributed to the Success of the Coffee, Cake & Chat morning – nearly £360 was raised for the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal
