The VASL Car Scheme has been operating since 1987 in Market Harborough and covers two-thirds of Harborough District. The scheme is for anyone who is elderly, disabled, rurally isolated, has no transport of their own or has difficulty accessing public transport. Due to a shortage of drivers, we are prioritising health and hospital appointments.

Come and celebrate with us this Christmas! St Andrew’s has traditional services and is hosting events too.

Although the boat numbers have been down all season, there seems to have been a late spurt of activity. The October half term weeks were reasonably fine, and unseasonably mild, so visitor numbers picked up a bit as well.  Later storm Bert wreaked damage across the canal system; in Foxton three large Scots pines came down near Clarks Bridge (No 5) blocking the navigation. They have been cleared now.
