Climate Friendly Communities Project

LCC have announced the 'Climate Friendly Communities Project' to be launched 3 July 2008 at the ENABLE (Environmental Action for a Better Leics) annual event. The project will provide opportunities to community groups to act at the grassroots level to join ENABLE's Act on CO2 campaign.

ENABLE wish to work with two communities in Leics, offering small amounts of financial support, to make it possible to mitigate and adapt local impacts of climate change and bring positive benefits to the community.

Community groups of climate change volunteers are required who will receive training and support.

If you are interested in learning more please contact the Parish Clerk.

Proposed 7.5t Weight Restriction

Following the upgrading and realignment of Wistow Road (to the new roundabout) and Warwick Road, an improved route for heavy goods vehicles is now provided from the A6 to A5199 with access to the Churchill Way industrial estate at Fleckney. A 7.5t weight restriction is therefore proposed for Kibworth Beauchamp from the A6/New Road junction through the High Street and Fleckney Road to the junction with Warwick Road.

Drawing Number TM3037/1/2008 is available for viewing via the Parish Clerk 2796014.

This proposal will be considered at the Parish Council Meeting to be held on 1 July 2008. Observations will be reported to Highways Dept, LCC. All are welcome at the meeting.
