The steps at the entrance to the Woodland Walk at the top of Pinfold Lane have been upgraded so that they are more secure.
Please use this, and the allotment entrance/exit, to access the Woodland and not walk across the back of the houses on Geoff Sewell Close.
These are in draft form until approved at the May Meetings and in the next APM.
Please find attached agendas for the 17th of April 2024 – Both for the Annual Parish Meeting and the ordinary meeting
Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, the fields are waterlogged and it is still too wet for the replacement bridge to be installed.
Please do not use the bridge and do not give up hope that it might stop raining at some time.
Please use the link below to vote for the first recipient of the Community Service Award.
Apologies to everyone for the delay in uploading some documents to the system.
Please follow the link below to access our online document system in which I have updated all the minutes and agendas to date – the draft minutes will be posted next week once complete and agreed via email by councillors.

The replacement foot bridge over the River Chater on the footpath from the Church to Glebe Road is ready to be installed. Heavy equipment is required to get it into place and unfortunately with the recent storms the ground is too wet.
Rutland County Council has contacted that the contracter hopes to be able to install the bridge in about three weeks. However this is dependent on the ground being able to take the equipment and the agreement of the landowners.
Let’s hope for a dry(ish) spell!
Please see notices below.

You will have until the 1st of Feb 2024 to respond with ALL the paperwork and payment, should this not be fulfilled your allotment may be given to someone else on the waiting list. Last year several allotment holders failed to sign the terms and conditions form, failure to do so this year could forfeit your allotment tenancy.

Fill those out and email to the clerk who will add you onto our new waiting list – when you reach the top of the list (criteria based, not first come first served) the clerk will email you to offer any available allotments.
We have created a printable version of the local plan available for people to use in order for the public to make comment. We have also created a word document version in which we have found is easier to use when searching for a specific topic as you can use the ‘find’ function found on the word ‘home’ tab.
You can find the local plan, it’s appendixes and it’s interactive map on the link below
The deadline for any comments is on the 8th of January 2024.
