The Final Showdown: Will Mallard Pass Fall or Rise? Alicia Kearns' MP, social media plea echoes the anxieties of some residents,

The Final Showdown: Will Mallard Pass Fall or Rise?

Winter Sunrise 18th January 2018

The sun hangs low over the fertile farmlands of Rutland, casting an orange glow on a decision that could forever alter its landscape. The Mallard Pass solar plant, a project both championed and fiercely opposed, stands at the precipice of approval or rejection. The Planning Inspectorate's report looms, its ink drying on the fate of acres and communities.

But before the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero makes their final call, Alicia Kearns MP is calling for one last push. A rallying cry, a final stand against the proposed behemoth that threatens, in the eyes of many, to devour more than just farmland.

Why the Opposition Rises:

Alicia Kearns' social media plea echoes the anxieties of some residents. Their letters, soon to be piled on the Secretary of State's desk, are not blank slates of rejection. They paint a nuanced picture, acknowledging the need for renewable energy while highlighting the concerns that cloud Mallard Pass.

Loss of Agricultural Land: Fertile fields, the lifeblood of local farmers and the promise of future food security, could be sacrificed for energy, potentially impacting the region's food supply and the livelihoods of those who depend on it.

Environmental Impact: While solar may be heralded as green, questions linger about the project's impact on local wildlife and ecosystems. The delicate balance of rural life could be tipped, displacing species and disrupting natural habitats.

Community Concerns: The sheer scale of the project raises worries about noise pollution, visual intrusion, and the potential disruption to the idyllic character of the villages that dot the landscape. The fear is not just of a physical change, but a shift in the very soul of the community.

A Balanced View:

Yet, amidst the opposition, voices advocating for Mallard Pass also deserve a hearing. They speak of the urgent need for renewable energy, of the potential for green jobs, and of the contribution the project could make to the UK's net-zero goals. The promise of clean energy and its role in combating climate change cannot be entirely dismissed.

However, the key lies in finding a balance, a solution that harnesses the benefits of renewables while respecting the unique tapestry of rural life. Perhaps smaller, better-integrated projects could offer a compromise, one that meets the nation's energy needs without sacrificing the heart of Rutland.

The Moment of Truth:

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows on the fields, the decision on Mallard Pass rests not solely with the Secretary of State, but with each voice raised in opposition or support. Alicia Kearns' call for letters and signatures is a reminder that democracy thrives on participation, on the active engagement of those who have a stake in their land, their future.

This is not simply a question of solar panels or farmland; it's a debate about the soul of a community, the balance between progress and preservation. The final verdict may lie with the powers that be, but the echoes of this debate will linger, a testament to the enduring spirit of a place called Rutland.

So, let your voice be heard.  If you object or support Write your letter, sign the petition, engage in the conversation.

Dear Alicia Kearns,

Thank you for reaching out and inviting me to share my thoughts on the Mallard Pass Solar Farm proposal. While I appreciate your efforts to gather feedback from constituents, I feel compelled to express a different perspective on this issue.

I understand and share your commitment to protecting our environment and transitioning to a more sustainable future. In fact, I strongly support the development of renewable energy sources, including solar power.

While I acknowledge the concerns raised regarding Mallard Pass, I believe the potential benefits of this project outweigh them. The significant reduction in carbon emissions, contribution to energy security, and potential economic boost for the region are undeniable.

Your suggestion that the solar panels have "blood money attached" is a valid concern worth investigating. However, it's important to recognise that this issue extends far beyond solar energy. The vast majority of goods we consume in our daily lives involve complex supply chains with potential ethical concerns. Simply rejecting renewable energy based on these concerns, without addressing the broader issue, feels like an ineffective approach.

Furthermore, I believe the potential for positive environmental impacts within the Mallard Pass project deserves consideration. Integrating beekeeping and wildflower planting around the panels could enhance biodiversity and local Rutland honey production. Grazing sheep under the panels could potentially manage vegetation and provide additional income for farmers. These initiatives demonstrate how solar farms can coexist harmoniously with agriculture and natural ecosystems.

While I respect your right to support minorities, I feel the voices of those who support the Mallard Pass project have been underrepresented in the current discourse. We, too, are a significant part of your constituency with a valid stake in this decision. I urge you to consider our perspective and ensure a balanced representation of views when presenting your case to the Secretary of State.

I believe that a responsible and forward-thinking approach to energy development requires a nuanced analysis of the potential benefits and drawbacks, and a commitment to finding solutions that address legitimate concerns while allowing us to progress towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Martin Brookes

Joe was born with Fragile X Syndrome, which can make social situations challenging. But running gives him confidence and joy, and his Whatsapp group of running friends from the Stamford Striders Beginners course has been a game-changer.

Now, he's ready to take the leap and join the main Stamford Striders Club on Tuesday evenings. This is a huge step, and he needs someone by his side.

Stamford Striders is even offering a free place in their club to anyone who runs with Joe. They understand the positive impact running can have on everyone, and they want to be a part of Joe's success story.

Unveiling Fragile X Syndrome: A Look Behind the Invisible Strength

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) might sound delicate, but within its folds lies a tapestry of resilience, unique challenges, and remarkable potential. It's the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability, affecting roughly 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 6,000 females.

The culprit? A tiny glitch in the FMR1 gene, responsible for making a protein crucial for brain development. This missing protein throws a wrench in the brain's communication system, leading to a constellation of symptoms that vary person to person.

Learning and Social Navigation: FXS can make learning and social interactions a bit of a puzzle. Individuals may struggle with language, attention, and processing information. Social cues can be tricky to decipher, leading to shyness or difficulty connecting with others.

Sensory Symphony: The world can be a sensory overload for someone with FXS. Loud noises, bright lights, and even certain textures can be overwhelming. But on the flip side, some individuals may have a heightened sensitivity to touch or sound, finding comfort in specific textures or melodies.

Unveiling the Strengths: But FXS isn't just about challenges. It's also about a unique perspective and remarkable strengths. Individuals with FXS often possess a genuine kindness, a deep empathy, and a contagious enthusiasm for their passions. They may excel in specific areas like music, art, or memory, bringing their own flavor to the world.

Navigating the Journey: Living with FXS is a journey, not a destination. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a world of difference. Therapies, support groups, and understanding communities can empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Beyond the Label: FXS is just one piece of someone's story. It doesn't define who they are or what they can achieve. By understanding and celebrating their unique strengths, we can create a world where individuals with FXS can thrive and contribute their unique gifts.

So, the next time you hear the term "Fragile X Syndrome," remember, it's not just a label. It's a story waiting to be unveiled, a journey paved with challenges and triumphs, and a testament to the human spirit's remarkable resilience.

Pronto Accident Repair Loan Car Crashes into Knights of Oakham, Avoiding Pedestrians.

A car crashed into an appliance shop in Oakham High Street this afternoon, causing disruption and damage but thankfully no serious injuries.

Police were called to the scene just before 2.45pm today (Friday, January 26) after a car collided with Knights of Oakham, an appliance shop located on the bustling high street.

The extent of the damage to the shop is not yet known, but photos from the scene show a police cordon in place around the area. It is believed that the car came to a stop after hitting the shop wall.

No one was reported to be injured in the incident, although it is possible that some people may have been shaken up by the collision.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

A Leicestershire Police spokesperson said: "We were called to Oakham High Street shortly before 2.45pm today following reports of a road traffic collision.

"The incident involved a car and a shop. No one was reported to be injured.

The area has been cordoned off while we investigate the cause of the collision.

Witnesses:

If you were in the area at the time of the crash and saw what happened, please contact Leicestershire Police on 101 quoting incident 363. Your information could help to piece together what happened.

If this had happened a little earlier the pavement would have been crowded with people waiting to enter Hoagies Sandwich Bar.

Despite the January chill, Oakham marketplace was alive with discussion this past Wednesday as residents shared their views on the Rutland County Council's draft budget. Council representatives set up stall, eager to hear first hand the thoughts and concerns of local people about how council funds should be allocated in the coming year.

The proposed budget, facing rising costs and service pressures, has sparked interest among residents, with many taking the opportunity to voice their priorities. From essential services like waste collection and road maintenance to crucial support for vulnerable groups and investment in local infrastructure, the range of issues raised highlighted the diverse needs of Rutland's communities.

The council's proposed Council Tax increase and the allocation of funds for specific services were key points of discussion. While some expressed understanding of the financial challenges, others voiced concerns about the impact on already burdened household budgets. There was also lively debate about potential service cuts and the importance of protecting frontline services that directly impact residents' daily lives.

While the bustling marketplace offered a vibrant platform for feedback, the council is keen to ensure everyone has a chance to have their say. Residents who were unable to attend the stall can still complete the official online survey, outlining their priorities and suggestions for the budget. The survey remains open until Friday, 2nd February 2024, and can be accessed via the council's website at

Rutland Residents Engage with Cash Access UK on New Banking Hub at Oakham Castle, questioning Natalie Ceeney, Chair of Cash Access UK.

Excitement for Oakham's upcoming banking hub crackled in the air of Oakham Castle on 25th January 2024 as Natalie Ceeney, Chair of Cash Access UK, met with local residents to discuss the project.

The hub, to be located at the former Lloyds Bank building on High Street, promises a welcoming space where customers of all major banks and building societies can conduct everyday transactions.

Ms. Ceeney and Ms. Kearns fielded questions with patience and understanding, acknowledging the concerns of some residents who were disappointed that certain desired services, couldn't be offered due to existing regulations. Ms. Kearns, assured the crowd that she's actively working with colleagues and regulators to see if some of these limitations can be addressed.

Despite the regulatory hurdles, the overall mood remained positive. Over tea and cake, residents engaged in lively discussions, eager to understand how the hub would operate and how it could best serve the community.

Oakham's New Police Station has a Iconic Blue Lamp.

As part of a initiative to strengthen police visibility and community ties, several stations across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland will soon be adorned with a modern Victorian-style blue lamps. This historic symbol of law and order, first used in London in the 1800s, is making a comeback to remind residents of the vital role police play in keeping them safe.

To mark Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action, Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews announced plans to fund the installation of these Mercia Lanterns at strategic locations across the city and counties. Oakham's brand new police station is already, boasting a particularly large lamp relocated from the former station.

Oakham's Blue Light

The iconic Blue Lamp, as it became known, served as a beacon of safety and support for generations. Today, Commissioner Matthews aims to revive that very essence. "These values are just as important to our communities today," he explains, "and this is just one of the many ways I aim to reconnect residents with the policing values of the past."

More than just a symbolic gesture, the visible presence of a police station, with its reassuring blue light, signifies a renewed commitment to community policing. By bringing back this historical symbol, the Commissioner hopes to remind residents that their safety is a top priority and that help is always at hand.

Rutland County Council proposes budget with tax increase and call for fairer funding, Meet and discuss with Councillors at Oakham Market

Rutland County Council proposes budget with tax increase and call for fairer funding

What's in the budget?

Rutland County Council has released its draft budget for 2024/25, outlining how much money will be needed to run local services and where it will come from. The total budget is £49.1 million, covering everything from roads and recycling to libraries, childcare, and care for older people.

Challenges and solutions:

Increased costs: The Council says it faces rising costs due to economic instability and growing demand for services. 

To address this, they propose a combination of: Council Tax increase: 2.99% increase, with an additional 2% Adult Social Care Precept. This would mean an average increase of £7.72 per month for a Band D property.

Savings: £1.8 million in savings through various measures.

Reserves: Using money from reserves to invest in long-term financial sustainability.

Call for fairer funding:

Despite these efforts, the Council argues that national government funding is not enough. They are calling for a fairer funding formula that would provide Rutland with more resources per household, as they currently rely heavily on Council Tax compared to other areas.

Public consultation:

Residents are encouraged to share their feedback on the draft budget and the Council's refreshed Corporate Strategy through a public consultation running until February 2nd 2024

You can participate online or by calling 01572 722 577.

Key message:

The Council says it is working hard to balance service provision with financial constraints while advocating for fairer funding from the government. Your feedback can help shape the final budget and ensure it reflects the needs of the community.

And then, the pièce de résistance – the burning of ear hair. Yes, you read that right. This ancient Turkish technique uses a gentle flame to remove unwanted hair, leaving your ears looking and feeling impeccably groomed.

The Whipper-In  Market Place, Oakham,  Rutland, LE15 6DT, Soon to be transformed into the George Inn, Oakham.

History in the Making: The Whipper-In Transforms Back into The George Inn, Oakham

Nestled in the heart of Oakham's bustling marketplace, a historic transformation is underway. The beloved Whipper-In, a charming 17th-century coaching inn, is returning to its roots and reclaiming its original name: The George Inn. This isn't just a renovation; it's a journey back in time, a chance to breathe new life into the rich tapestry of Oakham's past.

From Whipper to George:

The story of The George Inn begins in the late 16th century. A grand establishment catering to travellers and dignitaries, it quickly became a cornerstone of Oakham's social scene. Over the years, it witnessed countless milestones, from lively market days to intimate gatherings, becoming a cherished landmark in the town's heart.

In the 1980s, however, the inn underwent a transformation, adopting the name "The Whipper-In". While the change brought new life to the establishment, a thread of history remained woven into its very fabric. Now, with careful restoration and meticulous attention to detail, The George Inn is preparing to reclaim its rightful place in Oakham's heritage.

A Glimpse into the Past:

Step beyond the threshold of The George Inn, and you'll be transported to a bygone era. The characterful beams, the crackling fireplace, and the warm ambiance whisper tales of horse-drawn carriages and boisterous conversations. The meticulous restoration promises to preserve the building's unique charm, blending the old with the new to create a welcoming space that resonates with history while embracing the present.

More Than Just a Name:

The transformation of The George Inn is more than just a cosmetic change; it's a commitment to reviving the spirit of community and hospitality that once defined the establishment. The aim is to create a vibrant hub where locals and visitors can gather, forging new connections and celebrating the rich tapestry of Oakham's heritage.

A Toast to the Future:

As The George Inn prepares to open its doors once more, a sense of anticipation hangs in the air. It's a testament to the enduring power of history and the enduring charm of a well-told story. With its promise of warm hospitality, delectable food, and a touch of history, The George Inn is poised to become a cherished destination once again, weaving new threads into the vibrant tapestry of Oakham's present and future.

So, raise a glass to The George Inn, a phoenix rising from the ashes of time. Its return promises to be a delightful chapter in Oakham's ongoing story, one filled with laughter, shared meals, and the comforting embrace of a place steeped in history.

More about the George:

For centuries, the walls of this grand coaching inn have whispered tales of weary travellers seeking solace and lively gatherings where deals were struck and destinies intertwined. It has witnessed the pulse of Rutland's history, from hushed business meetings and the crisp delivery of legal pronouncements to the jubilant roar of election victories and the warm hum of local businesses coming together. Now, reborn as The George Inn, this cherished landmark embarks on a new chapter, ready to once again embrace the vibrant heart of our community.

The George Inn has embarked on a captivating journey, shedding its skin and revealing a fresh face brimming with elegance and charm. The first phase of this transformation has already breathed new life into the beloved landmark. All 22 bedrooms have been adorned with sumptuous décor, inviting guests to rest in luxurious comfort. The heart of the inn beats anew in the George Bar, Parlour and Dining Room, and the inviting Snug, each space exuding a distinct personality that promises intimate gatherings and delightful experiences. But this is just the beginning. The whisper of delicious possibilities hangs in the air, with plans to unveil a Supper menu not just on Fridays and Saturdays, but throughout the week, transforming The George Inn into a culinary haven for every day.

The transformation of The George Inn is far from over. In the next chapter, five new bedrooms will be unveiled, each a haven of exquisite comfort and elegance, exceeding even the current splendor. But that's not all. For those seeking an evening of cinematic indulgence, a boutique cinema awaits, promising intimate screenings and immersive experiences. And for those yearning for pampering, a hidden sanctuary – a small spa dedicated to rejuvenation and relaxation – will tantalize the senses. The George Inn is more than just a hotel; it's a tapestry woven with threads of luxury, leisure, and unforgettable moments waiting to be savoured.

A bittersweet farewell: HSBC Oakham prepares to close its doors

HSBC Oakham will be closing its doors this year.

The closure, scheduled to take place once the new Post Office Banking hub opens in the former Lloyds Bank premises, signifies a shift in how people bank. With the rise of online banking and mobile apps, foot traffic in traditional branches has steadily declined. While this undoubtedly brings convenience and flexibility for many, it leaves a bittersweet void for those who cherished the personal touch and familiar faces of their local bank.

HSBC acknowledges the long-standing relationship with the Oakham community and is committed to ensuring a smooth transition. Customers will be informed well in advance of the closure and offered support in transferring their accounts and services to nearby branches or online platforms. The new Post Office Banking hub aims to fill the gap by providing essential banking services within the familiar High Street setting.

Though the brick-and-mortar presence of HSBC Oakham may fade, its legacy will remain. It has been a cornerstone of the Oakham community, woven into the fabric of countless lives. From facilitating first salaries to witnessing the joy of securing a mortgage, HSBC Oakham has played a vital role in the financial well-being of generations.

As we turn the page on this chapter, we also look ahead with optimism. The new Post Office Banking hub presents an opportunity to maintain convenient access to essential financial services. While the way we bank may evolve, the importance of financial security and community support remains constant.

So, let us remember HSBC Oakham not just for its bricks and mortar, but for the countless lives it touched, the financial journeys it enabled, and the sense of community it fostered. As we bid farewell, we do so with gratitude for the past and hope for a future where financial accessibility continues to thrive in the heart of Oakham.

The exact date of the closure has not yet been announced.

HSBC will be holding information sessions for customers to learn more about the closure and their options.

The new Post Office Banking hub is expected to open in Spring/Summer 2024.

Fords Of Oakham, Funeral Directors, Church St, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AA

From Retail Roots to Reverence: Ford's of Oakham, Guiding Families Through Loss

Nestled in the heart of Oakham, Rutland, amidst bustling shops and the echoes of history, stands Ford's of Oakham Funeral Directors. While its current mission differs greatly from the retail legacy of the Ford department store, there's an undeniable thread of family, community, and quiet service that connects the two. Let's delve into this unique story of transformation and unwavering dedication.

The Ford name has been synonymous with Oakham for over a century. The Fords department store, once a local titan with outlets along Church Street, was a household name for generations. Its closure in the late 20th century left a void, but the spirit of service and community remained ingrained in the Ford family.

In 1877, long before the department store's heyday, a different kind of service took root under the Ford name. William Ford, a draper by trade, established Ford's Funeral Directors. William understood the profound vulnerability and grief associated with loss, and he dedicated his business to guiding families through these difficult times with empathy and respect.

The legacy of William's compassion passed down through generations. Today, Ford's of Oakham remains a family-run business, They carry the torch of their ancestors, offering Oakham and its surrounding communities a haven of support in the face of loss.

Stepping into Ford's is a world away from the bustle of the high street. It's a space imbued with reverence and quiet dignity. The atmosphere is one of understanding and solace, where families can grieve freely and receive personalised care at every step.

Fords understand that losing a loved one is an intensely personal experience. They take the time to listen to families' wishes, offering tailored services and support that reflect individual beliefs and traditions. From traditional burials to contemporary celebrations of life, Ford's provides a space where grief can be acknowledged and memories cherished.

The transformation of the Ford name from retail giant to compassionate funeral directors may seem unusual at first glance. Yet, it's a testament to the enduring values that have run through the family for generations: service, dedication, and a deep understanding of the human experience. In a world that can often feel impersonal, Ford's of Oakham stands as a beacon of empathy and support, reminding us that even in the face of loss, there is solace and connection to be found.

So next time you walk down Oakham's Church Street, remember that the legacy of the Ford name is not confined to history books. It lives on in the quiet dignity and unwavering support offered by Ford's of Oakham Funeral Directors. It's a story of transformation, yes, but one that ultimately reaffirms the enduring power of family, community, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Hambleton Bakery, 17 Gaol St, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AL

www.hambletonbakery.co.uk/pages/visit-us

Nestled on Oakham's bustling Gaol Street, amidst the charming facades and independent shops, sits Hambleton Bakery. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time, with the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air and shelves laden with golden loaves, crusty pastries, and delectable cakes. But behind this quaint bakery lies a fascinating story of humble beginnings, passionate dedication, and an unwavering commitment to quality that has seen it blossom into Rutland's beloved bread empire.

It began in 2008, in the idyllic village of Exton, nestled within the rolling hills of Rutland. Julian Carter and Tim Hart, driven by a shared passion for good bread, opened the doors to a small, unassuming bakery. Their focus was simple: to bake sourdough and other breads using traditional methods and the finest local ingredients. Word of their exceptional craftsmanship spread quickly, and soon, the aroma of their sourdough drew in locals and visitors alike, forming a loyal following for their crusty creations.

As demand grew, so did the ambition of the two bakers. In 2010, they opened their first shop in Oakham, bringing their rustic loaves and pastries to the heart of the county town. This marked the start of an exciting expansion, with new shops springing up in market towns across the Midlands. From Stamford and Market Harborough to Nottingham and West Bridgford, the Hambleton Bakery flag began to wave proudly, bringing a taste of Exton's artisanal magic to each new location.

But Hambleton Bakery is more than just a chain of successful bakeries. It's a testament to the power of passion and commitment. Julian and Tim remain deeply involved in the day-to-day operations, ensuring that every loaf, every pastry, and every cake is handcrafted with the same care and attention to detail as those first baked in Exton. They source their ingredients locally whenever possible, supporting Rutland's farmers and producers, and their sourdough starter, lovingly named "Fred," has become a symbol of their dedication to time-honoured traditions.

And while their breads, from the perfectly tangy sourdough to the hearty whole wheat, are a constant source of delight, Hambleton Bakery has another ace up its sleeve: the Rutland Pippin. This delectable creation is a far cry from its Melton Mowbray cousin. Imagine a buttery, flaky pastry encasing a juicy mix of slow-cooked Rutland pork, apples, and herbs, all seasoned to perfection. The sweet and savoury dance in your mouth with every bite, and the melt-in-your-mouth pastry is a revelation. So, if you're looking for a taste of Rutland's soul, skip the mass-produced pork pies and seek out the Rutland Pippin – a true testament to Hambleton Bakery's innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to local flavours.

Today, Hambleton Bakery stands as a beacon of artisanal excellence in the heart of the Midlands. From its humble beginnings in Exton to its thriving shops across the region, it's a reminder that passion, dedication, and a love for good bread can create something truly special. So, next time you find yourself in Oakham, or any of the towns graced by a Hambleton Bakery, step inside, soak in the aroma of freshly baked goodness, and savour a slice of Rutland's bread empire. You might just discover your new favourite loaf – or, perhaps, a Rutland Pippin that will redefine your pork pie expectations forever.
