IMPORTANT UPDATE NOVEMBER 2025 -

Village Hall Parking Project

 

Despite lots of hard work and following extensive consultation with villagers and agreement in principle to proceed from the Parish Council, unfortunately we have reached a position where we cannot proceed with the project to create a parking area at the bottom of the Parish Field. There are two main reasons why we cannot proceed at this time, firstly we have not been able to reach agreement with the Parish Council on the outline terms of the lease for the land in a way that would allow the project to secure funding and also that are not onerous. Secondly, the initial cost estimates are significantly higher than expected. Given the first issue makes grant funding more difficult and the second issue requires more funding than we had planned these two issues together mean it is not viable to proceed at this time. We will continue to ask users of the village hall to be considerate to local residents when they park their vehicles on the public roads in the village in order to attend classes and events.

Car parking for Village Hall users in South Luffenham has been an issue for many years but since the completion of the hall refurbishment project in 2022 it has become even more pertinent. In order to alleviate parking pressure in the village the Village Hall Management Committee are proposing to create a car parking area. Please find the initial proposals below.
