RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
INFORMATION FROM RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
The County Council’s website (www.rutland.gov.uk) is being re-organised to make more readily available helpful information:
- For businesses, employers and the self-employed including links to funding and grants. RCC has already paid £3.5million of grant payments to 306 local businesses. See also, www.businesssupport.gov.uk;
- For individuals – details of neighbourhood schemes, changes and closures of Council services. In addition, activities and material to support those educating or entertaining children can be found on the Council’s Facebook and twitter channels and on the library’s website; and
- For volunteers – a section dedicated to signposting residents to volunteering opportunities in the county.
We have also been asked to raise awareness of The Silent Solution system, arising out of the police’s concerns of an increase in reported incidents of domestic abuse.
It has been designed for victims who might be afraid of further danger and escalation of harm if heard making a 999 call. So, on making a 999 call and being asked by the operator which emergency service is required, press 55 and the operator will transfer the call to the relevant police force as an emergency.
