What an amazing morning, great to see so many villagers, families and friends enjoying the Tug of War and the Duck Race.
Well done to everyone joined from adults to children, a great village event and a massive thank you to everyone involved in organising, sponsoring and supporting the morning.
What a wonderful evening yesterday (11th December) in the village.
So lovely to see the church full of families and friends sharing in the Carol singing, the Christmas story and refreshments. Thank you Rita Meade and all the ladies who helped in the church.
Then there was the village Christmas tree switch on and the decorated houses, so many to choose from all very splendid with some really spectacular displays. Well done to everyone who joined in and thank you for making the village look so festive.
Last but not least a massive thank you to the Christmas light team for organising the evening especially the lantern walk which was magical.
The Parish Council are delighted to confirm that the NP was formerly approved by Charnwood Borough Council at their cabinet meeting on the 9th December 2021.
A special thank you to everyone who has made this happen!
Update from local Policing team for PC.
We haven’t had any crime reported to us over the past thirty days for your area. The school has made us aware of possible bullying happening on the park after school. The Beat team are aware and will try and curb this.
We also have plans to go to the school to talk to the children about bullying.
I must start by saying how delighted I and the Parish Council are to see the neighbourhood plan being passed by the majority of those who voted, and I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has worked on the plan from day one until the vote, your contributions were all tremendous and have helped to secure a plan which we believe will support the village and residents over the coming years.
The past month has been quite busy and as we lead up to Christmas, we look forward to the new year bringing new projects, challenges and hopefully a more settled and safer environment.
New restrictions have come into force after a case of avian influenza (bird flu) was confirmed in chickens at a poultry farm near Barrow upon Soar in Charnwood.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has now put 3km and 10km Temporary Control Zones in place surrounding the infected premises to limit the risk of the disease spreading, which means it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers in the affected area to follow increased biosecurity measures.
