It is not unusual for a street to be named after prominent members of the community. For instance, Market Harborough has several of these thoroughfares and one example of this is Logan Street off Coventry Road. 

At Leicestershire’s Home Library Service we believe that everyone should have access to the joys of reading and the incredible services that our libraries offer. However, we know that for many people with health challenges, limited mobility or caring responsibilities, accessing the local library can be difficult.   This is where the Home Library Service steps in – this FREE service offered by Culture To You at Leicestershire County Council ensures that reading remains accessible to everyone. 

Organised by the Climate Coalition, the ‘Great Big Green Week ‘is a celebration by people all over the country.  It’s taking place this year between Saturday 8 June and Sunday 16 June.

With so many events happening in Smeeton Westerby over the Christmas period, we ended up with a relaxing and quiet January. However, The Kings Head came up trumps with their Burns’ Night Supper on Thursday 25 January where a three course meal was served, the main dish naturally being haggis, neeps and tatties with whisky sauce. There was a variety of whiskies to wash everything down with. Not surprisingly, a great time was had by all.

This month we are announcing the launch of a new social games group. It is run by the Local Area Coordinator, Amy. The first session will take place on the 6 February.

Bring your favourite games to play with others. There’s no need to book, you can just turn up.
