My name is Kevin Espin and I am the Crew Manager at Kibworth Fire Station and also Central Fire Station in Leicester. I joined the fire service in 2008 and joined the on-call section at Kibworth in 2020. Having moved to the Kibworth area and only knowing a few people the station has provided me with a great way to meet other people in the area. The fire service really is one big family.

In April we reported that the Kibworth windmill would be repaired during the second half of the year. As a first step, scaffolding has been erected and been covered in protective sheeting while work is in progress. Preparatory work will start by the end of June and the main work in August. A viewing platform has been erected and visitors will, on certain occasions, be able to see what is happening. Details will be announced later. As Kibworth windmill is on private land and the work is taking place on an enclosed site, it will not be possible to visit any other times.
