Public Consultation: Oakham Town Centre Improvement Scheme

Rutland County Council (RCC) advise that they have today launched a public consultation around possible improvements to Oakham Town Centre.

The consultation runs from Wednesday, 14th June through until Friday, 7th July 2017 with residents encouraged to share their views on two possible designs.

RCC have set up an information stand in Oakham Market Place with members of their project team on hand to discuss the proposals with members of the public. This has been in place throughout today and will return again on the following dates:

  • Friday 23rd June, 8am to 5pm
  • Saturday 24th June, 8am to 5pm

Members of the public can also find out more, view the plans and submit feedback online by visiting: www.rutland.gov.uk/oakhamtowncentre

Once this period of consultation is complete, the Council will review all the responses and produce a detailed Town Centre design based on feedback that has been received. This design will be subject to a second  round of consultation in autumn 2017. Work to implement a final design will begin in spring 2018.

Should you have any questions regarding the Oakham Town Centre Improvement Scheme, please email: oakhamtowncentre@rutland.gov.uk

Notice of local road closure: 16-17 September 2017

RCC Highways provide a notice and associated diversion route of the Temporary Road Closure at Luffenham Level Crossing, which will come into effect on 16th September 2017.

Closing Soon: Village Plan Questionnaire.

A big thank to all those villagers who have completed the Village Plan Questionnaire so far. The response rate  for the adult population is about 50% and for a self completed questionnaire this is an excellent result. All areas of North Luffenham Parish have been well represented and will give a good overall opinion as to the views of the Parish.

The online questionnaire can still be completed but will close on midnight Sunday 11th June.

A short summary will be posted online in the near future and in due course a full analysis and written report will be delivered to each household as well as being on the village website.

Anglian Water: private pumping station on your property?

Anglian Water may have some good news for residents who have a private pumping station on their property and have not yet registered it with Anglian Water.

Currently, homeowners spend hundreds of pounds every year for electricity running costs, maintenance and repairs to look after these private pumping stations. They may even have been flooded if it’s broken down in the past.
Anglian Water Pumping Station
As of 1 October 2016, many of these private pumping stations automatically transferred over to Anglian Water and became their responsibility. They have taken over all of the maintenance and the running costs too, saving customers hassle, worry and money.

If you think you have a private pumping station Anglian Water would like you to get in touch with them by:

North Luffenham recycling centre open 10am-6pm every day 12th-26th June inclusive

Rutland County Council have advised that Cottesmore recycling centre is to close for two weeks from 12th to 26th June 2017 to allow sections of the main yard to be resurfaced.  Find out more about Cottesmore recycling closure.

During this time, the recycling centre at North Luffenham (usually closed from Tuesday to Thursday) will be open every day, ensuring the county continues to have a civic amenity site open seven days a week.

Morcott Church

Lovers of light opera have a treat in store on Saturday 17 June when a group of musical friends – Amici – present Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Trial by Jury’ and other operatic highlights in the beautiful setting of Morcott Church.

Amici Chamber Choir has performed the length and breadth of the UK, from Manchester’s concert halls to National Trust stately homes, and on TV for Songs of Praise.

The 18-strong choir is boosted by professional soloists Nick Hardy (Opera North), Joanne Rondel and Judith Tinston who all perform under the leadership of George Robey.

The first half of the programme is Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Trial By Jury’, a comic opera in one act.  After a relaxed interval during which drinks will be offered, the second half of the concert is a mix of operatic hits including a show-stopping ‘Nessun Dorma’ and memorable choral pieces, some of which have been arranged specially for the concert by choir members.

Interval refreshments available.
