BART HELLYER

The Ridlington community was saddened to hear of the passing of Bart Hellyer who has lived in Rutland for the past 40 years at Rowells Lodge. Bart became a paraplegic during his university years and used a wheelchair thereafter. In spite of his disability he lived a full and active life, dedicating much of his time to the local community; he served as the High Sheriff of Rutland from 2012 to 2013, gaining valuable insights into county life and since 2013, held the prestigious position of Deputy Lieutenant for Rutland.

Bart participated in most of our village events, including attending the late Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee celebration street party and the King’s Coronation last year on May 7th 2023 – he can be seen on the photograph now hanging in the Village Hall.

In Ridlington, we shall all remember Bart with affection, admiration and respect – a remarkable man in honour of whom Oakham Town Council is flying the flag at half-mast.

A private family funeral service and burial in St Mary Magdalene and St. Andrews Church, Ridlington will take place on Friday, May 3rd at 11:00.

A Memorial Service will be held in Uppingham Parish Church on Monday, May 20th at 14:00 followed by refreshments at The Falcon in Uppingham.

DEAD SYCAMORE TREE ON THE VILLAGE GREEN

There is a dead Sycamore Tree on the Village Green that has succumbed to Sooty Bark Disease.

Many Sycamores live with this fungal infection without problems but it is believed that the hot weather of the previous summer weakened this tree’s natural resistance allowing it to be taken over.

Before it weakens further and becomes a hazard the tree will be taken down on Wednesday 10th April.

We have appointed a professional arborist (Tommy Plumber) to safely remove it and he has advised that members of the public should keep clear whilst the work is being completed and the tree has been taken away as close contact with the spores, when disturbed, can cause breathing issues.

Thank you for your understanding.

The Parish Council
