With the festive season fast approaching, we are delighted to share with you the first of our Christmas events here in Smeeton Westerby.

On Thursday 27th October the Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital in Kibworth featured in an episode of the BBC TV programme ‘Autumnwatch’.

For those of you regularly using the Village Hall, you may have noticed a number of improvements.

If you skim your informative Kibworth Chronicle, you will see that Sustainable Harborough Community has organised a gathering on Saturday 12 November. 1–3 pm near the Old Grammar School in Harborough, to join the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice. The Global Day of Action is being held at the midpoint of the COP 27 UN climate talks. These run from 6- 18 November in Sharm el-Sheikh, hosted by the Egyptian government.

Did you know that Unblocktober is a national campaign and awareness month to improve the health of the UK’s drains, sewers and rivers and how we can all help prevent blockages? Sadly last year, Anglian Water had to remove over 3,000 tonnes of wipes, sanitary products and cooking oils from sewers at a cost that is paid for through our bills. Not pleasant for the people removing this mess either.
