Oval Play Equipment – Further Details
More information on the proposed Play Equipment is below
This is the ramp design but we intend on having the sides painted green and it will not have any large branding on it. The Skate Ramp is 8 metres long and 5 metres wide
The final zip wire length will be proposed to the Parish Council prior to the next meeting taking place. Under consideration currently in a size range from 20 metres to 30 metres in length. At the widest point, which is the platforms at either end, it is 3 metres wide.
The basket swing full area, allowing for swinging space, will be 7 metres in length by 3 metres wide.
The climbing frame will be 4 metres long and 3 metres wide.
Dogs on the Oval
From Paul Cummings, PC Chairman
It has recently been reported to the Parish Council that an elderly resident slipped on ‘Dog Mess’ on the oval last week and as a result suffered an injury. All dog owners are requested to ensure that their dogs are kept under control and that they clear up after their dogs at all times.
The Oval – New Playground Equipment
From Steve Marson:
Upon the completion of the housing development at Rosewood Close we received a payment in line with Section 106 of the Town and County Planning Act. This payment is known as a LEAP contribution, to be spent on a Locally Equipped Area for Play.
Last year after a number of months of consultation with local Parents and Children, along with members of the Parish Council an outline plan was developed for some additional pieces of equipment to be introduced to the Oval area, utilising the money that we had received.
The equipment we have chosen is:
· A timber skate ramp
· A zip-wire
· A basket swing
· A timber and rope climbing frame
The new items will compliment the current equipment, which we plan to redecorate this year. Replacement, slightly smaller goalposts will also be installed during this year. Upon completion of the work we will have facilities that span from young children through to teenagers for the first time.
Following a formal tender process, with 3 suppliers submitting detailed proposals we are now at the stage where we are in a position to appoint the supplier to carry out the work. At the next Parish Council Meeting we intend on discussing the final proposal with a view to voting to gain approval for the work to be undertaken.
Out of courtesy we have written to all residents of houses surrounding the Oval highlighting our plan as well as placing detail on the Village website. The picture below indicates where we intend to install the new equipment. If you would like to discuss any of the above then please contact me using the details below.
Many Thanks,
Steve Marson,
North Luffenham Parish Council

Do you have a box of forgotten photos in your attic?
If you have….and your family and friends have seen them all before….
…why not let local folk have a look too.
There is a Display board at the School – for anyone to show off their pictures.
They do not have to be certain themes, nor a certain size – its up to you to choose the ones you think we would like to see. So come on – pull out those albums and drawers, go into attics and garages…..
for more details, or to join in – phone 01780 720374 or email Pam at pam1plant@gmail.com
