Working in partnership with the South Leicestershire Medical Group, a new employment drop-in is being launched for residents living with a disability or health condition. 

We did it! After being runners up last year, we received the award for 'Voluntary and Community Group of the Year' at the second annual Harborough District Council community awards, in a ceremony held at Lutterworth College on October 9^th 2025.

Harborough District Council has taken the Climate Emergency Pledge to reduce emissions and tackle climate change across the district. You can do your bit to fight climate change by reducing waste and encouraging recycling as much as possible.

People can complete a questionnaire, which asks for their views and experiences of appointments they might have had when they needed help quickly, such as at their GP practice or a local pharmacy. All residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland can take part, with a specific questionnaire for each of the three areas.

I had a lovely walk at Foxton Locks on a sunny afternoon recently, and it made me realise how beautiful our area is and how important it is to take care of it.

Here at Kibworth Community Hub, we are gearing up for Christmas; at the end of this month, Main Street Theatre Company will be performing their Christmas Show, Rhyme and Treason, a family show that pitches Griselda, Queen of the Night against Glenda, Queen of the Day. 

No-one living in Kibworth is unaware that the A6 is a very busy road. This is proved time and again when there is any sort of hold up, by the length of the queues which form rapidly.

On Sunday 12 October Stop the New Town (STNT), hosted a community walk in Great Glen leading local residents across some of the countryside threatened by development. At this fun, family event, supporters of the campaign joined by Ace, miniature Shetland pony, and Lemmi, miniature donkey, convened at the village recreation ground in a show of protest at the extensive housing development proposed in the Harborough District Council local plan, and the tsunami of speculative developments currently in the planning pipeline, two proposed for the village periphery.
