Men & Women in Sheds, Rutland – Spring Commission Slots Available

Leave a reply

As you may have seen around the village, the Men & Women in Sheds Team have been busy making bespoke garden furniture to order. Over the coming month we have some slots available should you want anything wooden built to your own design (or one inspired by us).

Our prices are very reasonable and are based on cost of the wood plus a donation to AgeUK to enable us to run the Shed.

Examples of our handiwork are picnic tables, garden benches, potting tables, bug boxes, mud kitchens & planters.

Personalised Mud Kitchen for 3 year old
An array of Benches, Gentlemen of MiS Rutland not included
Bug Boxes – before & after personalisation…

The Full Fibre Internet connection for the Community Centre and the School has been funded by RCC to encourage the further roll out of of fibre optic cabling in the village.

The installation by OpenReach has placed a limited number of properties within the connecting distance for a Full Fibre Internet upgrade. An upgrade would enable speeds of up to 1Gb/sec (Gigabit Internet)

The purple dots on the map below show which lucky residents now have availability for a full fibre connection.

You would need to contact your Internet provider for details on how to upgrade and costs.

Access to the old railway line at South Luffenham withdrawn.

Leave a reply

South Luffenham have informed us of an access closure and this may affect walkers from North Luffenham.

The owners of the land behind Gatehouse Lane have informed the Chairman that they have decided to withdraw access to the old railway line via the field behind Gatehouse Lane. Access was originally allowed through a permitted access route which expired in 2011. They allowed access to continue through goodwill but have recently decided to withdraw this as some people were allowing dogs to run in the crops and were not clearing up after them.

Fly Tipping on the Oval

Leave a reply

It has been brought to my attention that someone has tipped their garden waste (buddleia branches) on the Oval behind the new electricity sub-station.

The Oval is not a place to deposit your garden waste, this should either be put in your green bin or taken to the Civic amenity site on the road to Morcott. There is no charge for taking your waste there

Thank you
