There is a meeting of the Scrutiny Committee at Rutland County Council this Thursday at 19.30 at County Council Offices, Catmose, Oakham.

If you are interested in the proposals for the development of St George’s Barracks, Edith Weston for the proposed 2315 homes and a Business Park, then you may wish to attend. The Scrutiny Committee will be looking into the Corporate Plan proposed by the County Council where it would seem that the proposals are presented as being a “fait accompli” and if you are at all concerned at this approach by your County Council then attendance at this public meeting will provide you with further information and indicate your support or otherwise for the proposals.

The Corporate Plan is to be considered by scrutiny on 7 November (Thursday 7th November).

Last night a lovely Land Rover Defender 90 had it’s bonnet, doors and other item removed and stolen right outside houses on Top Street.

You would think the noise created would have disturbed people in their sleep, but it seems not. These vehicles are particularly prone to this type of theft. There are additional security measures you can take and are well worth the effort. Land Rover forums on the web have loads of advice about this.

Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Police on 101 or online at visit https://www.leics.police.uk/ Click on “REPORT”.

 Wing Church has been beautifully decorated for our Harvest Service which we celebrated today, Sunday 13th October, and the Church will be unlocked each day this week for anyone who would like to come and see the fabulous arrangements.
