❗️Public Notice

RAF Waddington and RAF Cranwell will be supporting Exercise COBRA WARRIOR over the coming weeks, one of the RAF's largest multinational training exercises.

During this period, residents may notice increased aircraft activity and higher noise levels across the local area.

This vital training helps ensure UK and allied personnel are prepared to operate together effectively on future operations

We recognise the impact this may have and greatly appreciate the continued patience, understanding and support of our neighbouring communities.

Please can parents make their children aware that damage has been done to the fences on the Astro court in Branston. We have CCTV footage showing that area clearly and the video evidence is being provided to the police. Each panel costs up to £500 to replace which we are sure is a cost those parents will not want to have to pay. This is criminal damage and it is totally unacceptable. We have been working with police and the antisocial behaviour team and expect that the culprits will be hearing from them in due course.
