A travelling group of Rutllanders have taken the opportunity to check out a rural broadband project similar to the Uppingham and Lyddington initiatives. The 2010 Stamford Twinning visit to world heritage site Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic discovered that around 3000 residents have formed a private club to bring better quality broadband to their community. The scheme is founded on a strong signal generated in a church tower at the centre of Kutna Hora which can be picked up by residents with a small dish aerial. STOP PRESS: Uppingham First Community Message Board coming soon. Have your say about developments in Uppingham. |

Plans to build more homes to the West of Uppingham have stimulated the interest of property developers. Rutland County Council's Local Development Framework and Uppingham First publication Uppingham 2025 both agree that further housing development for Uppingham should take place to the north of Leicester Road and the south of the A47. Plans for the area could include protecting a North South bypass route. The town needs more affordable housing given the high average price of local property. Expressions of Interest received by September will be discussed at the next meeting of the Uppingham Neighbourhood Forum. Date of the meeting will be published in the Forum's September newsletter to be delivered to every home in Uppingham. On line comment can also be made from September on the new web based Community Message Board to be facilitated by Uppingham First. |

Uppingham Neighbourhood Watch schemes are to be at the forefront of a major national rebranding of the Neighbourhood Watch movement. During week commencing October 18th 2010, the Home Secretary will help initiate the rebranding by launching a new national web site for Neighbourhood Watch. The site will include new training and publicity materials as well as details of new signs and logos to be used in local communities. Detailed implementation of the rebranding in Rutland will be discussed at the next meeting of the Rutland Neighbourhood Watch Association. The proposals will also be discussed at a joint meeting of local Coordinators and the Rutland Local Policing Unit to be held on August 31st 2010. The renewal of local signs, which are funded by the schemes themselves, has been delayed until details of the new proposals are released. |
