Parish Council Chairman’s December Note.

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.

Bird Flu Outbreak

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.
