Rutland and Stamford Sound

As Tickencote church in Rutland reveals its completed restoration work this week, another church is preparing to undergo some major changes too.

The proposed development by the Burghley House Preservation Trust for land north of Stamford is now entering its public consultation phase, with two events planned over the next week.

The MP for Rutland and Melton, Alicia Kearns, is chairing a committee that is now searching for ways to protect British speciality food and drink based on its geography. While the proud Stilton cheese enjoys worldwide recognition and a Geographical Indicator, there are others also that may deserve to be on the ‘GI’ list.

Rutland County Council has been told by legal specialists that they have no power to refuse a housing development plan in Ketton now that the county is failing to meet government planning requirements.
