Update from Burton Latimer Town Council
A statement from Burton Latimer Town Council regarding recent events.
The Burton Latimer Ancient Parish Charity
The Burton Latimer Ancient Parish Charity is just what is says – an ancient parish charity! It is an amalgamation of several charities that go back over four hundred years and is administered by nine trustees drawn from institutions and organisations within the town. It is best known for grants that are made in the New Year to deserving applicants, mostly elderly, to help pay for winter heating costs.
However, other grants can be made at any time of the year on the recommendation of medical or social workers, or other organisations, to help with costs not covered under National Health, national or local government schemes. Applicants are asked to state their total income from pensions and all other sources before a decision is made by the trustees.
The grants are modest, but can sometimes make a big difference to the recipient. The amount of the fuel grant differs from year to year depending on the income from the charity’s investments and the number of successful applicants and it is paid directly to the power supplier.

Ukraine 🇺🇦
Burton Latimer Town Council have added the Ukrainian flag to the flagpole within the Millennium Gardens as a sign of support to the Ukraine.
We are saddened to see the events unfolding and hope a swift resolution can be found.
Keeping hope in our hearts 💛 Thinking of the many affected individuals.
UA5 Footpath Update
The UA5 footpath should have been diverted many years ago so as to use the footbridge over the A14 .The bridge is at the end of Cranford Rd and is classed as a bridle way. The town Council is still pursuing the amendment to the definitive map but it is proving a very slow process. By using the bridge not only is it a safe route but is only about 200 yards from where the original crossing existed.
We advise residents to use the bridge for their own safety
