Wood For The Bonfire

Preparations for the Annual Bonfire Night at The Oval North Luffenham are well underway. The weather forecast is saying the skys will clear in time for the fireworks tomorrow.

The bonfire itself is a bit reduced from previous years, and so if you have any unwanted, unpainted, wood that could help build it up that would be appreciated.

If you want to donate wood, please feel free to take it to the Oval, and place it by the large shelter. It will be placed onto the pyre tomorrow

Lyndon Road Drains Overflowing

The contractors respnsible for replacing the water pipes have been flushing out the pipes but according to Severn Trent but flow of water was too high resulting in overlfow. Severn Trent has reduced the flow and the drains are no longer overflowing.

However, the drains should have coped and it suggests there is a bloackage. The problem will be reported to RCC Highways.
