New NL Benefice Magazine Correspondent Needed!
Due to relocation out of the area, our current Magazine correspondent for North Luffenham – Liz Ritchie – is stepping down and we therefore need someone to take on the role.
This involves collating the information sent in regarding events & club activities being held within the village as well as any other relevant information. This is not an onerous task and is also a great way to get to know more people within the village! It requires about one half day per month and the odd phone call to event organisers.
Our thanks to Liz for all her hard work over the past year and we wish her & Jim all the best in their new adventure ‘up north’!
The deadline for the January issue of the magazine falls mid-month, on 15th December so it would be great to have someone in place by then.
Meanwhile, if anyone would like to know more about the role please contact Liz Ritchie before December 5th on 01780 720210 or email liz.ritchie23@me.com
Bonfire Night North Luffenham 2022
The annual Bonfire & Fireworks event hosted by North Luffenham Parish Council will be held on The Oval on Saturday 5th November 2022.
Doors Open 5.45pm; Bonfire lit 6.15pm; Fireworks 6.30pm
The Cricket Club will be running the BBQ (to raise funds to continue the good works on the wicket); Janet Whittaker & Judy Cade will be offering hot & cold refreshments from the Pavilion with home-made seasonal cake; Lin Burrows will be serving her specially prepared Mulled Wine with added Glo Sticks and sparklers. Charles Cade & Pete Burrows are in charge of lighting the fire & fireworks.
Our Chair of the Parish Council – Tim Smith – will be co-ordinating the important task of the ‘Donation bucket collection’. All this helps to offset the costs so please be generous to enable this event to continue. Please bring cash for the donations as it is difficult to set up card readers in the middle of a dark Oval!
Whilst The Scouts will be sporting high vis jackets and stewarding the perimeter and entry points, more volunteers are needed on the night to assist with ensuring a safe and enjoyable evening.
If you can help, please contact any of the above teams or Charles Cade on 01780 720467.
Thank you 😉

The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Following the sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth ll we are now in a period of public grief and national mourning. The Parish Council is still waiting to hear exactly how public protocol will be applied at this time
However, this is to let you know that all formal meetings until after the Queen’s funeral are to be postponed. This means that our expected meeting on Monday 19th September will not now take place. While as a council, we would wish to show proper respect, it is the case that any decision made during a period of mourning may be subject to legal challenge.
I will keep you informed about when the council is next able to meet formally.

Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Begins
The formal six week consultation on the Draft Neighbourhood Plan has now commenced. The draft plan and how to respond can be found on this link to the village website: https://northluffenham.com/nlpc/neighbourhood-plan/
NLPC Minutes of the General and Trust Meetings 18th July.
Neighbourhood Plan Consultation 23rd August – 4th October
As you will be aware the North Luffenham Neighbourhood Plan Working Group of the Parish Council have been developing the Neighbourhood Plan document, Planning Policies and background evidence for the North Luffenham Neighbourhood Plan.
The Plan and Policies are now at the point where the residents of the Parish have the opportunity to review and comment on the draft (the official status is “Pre Submission”) plan.
You should have received details about the plan, and the consultation, via a leaflet drop.
The consultation period starts Tuesday 23rd August, and you can find the details of the consultation period, a downloadable copy of the draft plan, along with supporting documents on the Neighbourhood Plan page on the web site.
There is also a link to the online form for you to enter your views
https://northluffenham.com/nlpc/neighbourhood-plan/
This is your chance to provide feedback, and influence the plan. Once this consultation period completes, Rutland County Council will run a wider review, however this will be mainly around the legalities and background evidence for the plan – they will not comment on the actual planning policies in the plan, unless there are errors or unenforceable statements included in the text.
Please take this opportunity to provide your input. The Plan will be part of the decision making process for all planning applications submitted in North Luffenham Parish until 2036, and so it is very important that it accurately reflects the overall views of the residents.
North Luffenham Draft Neighbourhood Plan
The Draft Neighbourhood Plan has been developed by North Luffenham Parish Council. The next stage of the process is a formal, six week, consultation on the draft plan.
The consultation period will run from 23rd August to 4th October 2022
This is the opportunity for villagers and other stakeholders to comment on the overall plan, and specifically on the planning policies included in the plan.
Please note the consultation goes live on the website on the 23rd August.
A further road closure in September
New Local Plan: Issue and Options Consultation
It is important that local communities respond to this consultation because it is an opportunity for you to have a voice in the development of the new Local Plan for Rutland.
North Luffenham Parish Council has approved a guide to the important questions and advice on responses to this consultation. Hopefuly residents will find it useful to guide them through a complex document which is on the Rutland County Council Website.
You may have different opinions; all comments are valid at this stage.
