Borough & County Councillor update
February is budget month in local government and this year has been particularly difficult, with both Charnwood and Leicestershire having faced significant cost increases due to covid over the last 12 months whilst also seeing income plummet. I always keep how the Council’s financial decisions affect people front and centre in my thinking and that has never been more true than this year. We have therefore agreed budgets which as far as possible balance the need to protect services with the financial impact on families.
Village Wardens
The Parish Council are supported by a number of wardens in the village who have particular interests or experience in important topics within the community.
Wardens generally advise and update the Council when necessary so items or concerns can be raised and discussed at the monthly PC meetings.
We currently have vacancies for a Tree Warden, Heritage Warden and Snow Warden in the village.
If you would be interested in learning more about these roles and possibly become a Village Warden please contact the Clerk at your earliest convenience.
Warden roles are generally voluntary roles
Rearsby Neighbourhood Plan
The Parish Council has formally issued the Submission version of their reviewed Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents to Charnwood Borough Council in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
Charnwood Borough Council will now consult with interested parties on this submission in accordance with Regulation 16 of the same regulations for a six week period.
Relevant documents can be viewed on the Rearsby Neighbourhood Plan link
St Michael and All Angels CE Primary School – Multi-Academy Trust
St Michael and All Angels CE Primary School is committed to supporting the community in which it sits. In 2012, the school made the decision to become what is known as a stand-alone academy. That meant that the school stepped away from the Local Authority to enable itself to operate on its own, so that it could better serve the needs of its pupils and staff. It was always the school’s intention to look at building links with other like-minded schools as part of this move. This was partly for financial reasons, but also so that best practices could be shared and adopted. Changes to how schools are funded over the last eight years has meant that it has become increasingly more critical for the school to look at being part of a wider family of schools. This has become even more important due to the challenges the school has faced because of Covid-19. As a result, the Governors of the school have been looking at various available options. Following extensive communications with the Diocese of Leicester’s Board of Education, it has been determined that the ‘Rise Multi-Academy Trust’ would be a suitable and appropriate partner for the school. See School link for more details…
