Things are pretty quiet at the locks now we are into the winter months. Except when the odd bright sunny day brings out the walkers and visitors.

Have you been watching ‘The Repair Shop’ on television? Did you know we have our own Repair Shop in Harborough?

As the festive season of 2023 begins, Harborough Community Safety Partnership, Christmas Presence campaign is here to remind you to keep safe throughout the season.

There is a Swedish campaign to Sāg hej! (‘say hi’) which is helping combatting loneliness

During the last weekend of November and the first weekend of December, MSTC and KTC performed the Playsical ‘For One Night Only’. Written by Ella Wright, who also directed, starred and choreographed the show. She doesn’t get out much! Featuring great show tunes, excellent choreography and, some jaw dropping vocal performances. We certainly kept our audiences entertained and have been very gratified by the wonderful feedback.

South Leicestershire has a woodland coverage of 3-4% (Surrey’s coverage is 25%) and it is decreasing with Ash dieback. Harborough Woodland is a not for profit community group set up in February 2020. Its aim is to increase woodland cover by planting trees and hedgerows and to reduce the risk of flooding through natural flood management (NFM). NFM schemes use vast numbers of trees and hedges. The roots, soil and fungi of one metre of mature hedge is a live sponge that can hold and slowly release 3 to 5m3 or tonnes of potential flood water (hedgelink.org.uk)
