The Parish Council recently organised a Community Speed watch Scheme which was carried out by volunteers in Sheepy Magna in Late June early July.

The attached report is feedback on the scheme with outcomes and recommendations made by the volunteers and the Parish Council:

Cooomunity Speedwatch Report Ocotber 2023

The Parish Council and local CSW operation co-ordinator (Neal Wood) would like to thank all those who volunteered and made the operation a success.:

 

 

 

A free transport offer to/from a flu/COVID vaccination provider is available to all eligible residents of Leicestershire, (not city or Rutland).  The idea is to help vulnerable people living in rural villages access their vaccination offer conveniently.

 

All they have to do is call the provider – 01530 512456 –  the number is operational Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm – and the provider will proactively check the person’s eligibility, book them into a clinic and will arrange to pick them up from their home, transport them to the clinic / wait for them / run them home.  All at no cost to the individual.

Upcoming essential maintenance work on the M42 southbound between junction 11 and junction 10.  As part of the work, our primary activities will be resurfacing the road and renewing the road markings. We’ll also be using the closure to carry additional maintenance activities to provide a clearer and safer carriageway for road users.

 

We’ll be carrying out our work overnight, between 9pm and 6am, on 25 August 2023 to 28 August 2023, including weekend work.

 

To carry out our work safely, there will be a total closure of the M42 southbound between junction 11 and junction10.  There will also be a lane 2 closure on the M42 northbound carriageway between junction 10 and junction 11. During this closure, a signed diversion route will be in place as below:

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained.

We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

 

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

Kind Regards

 

Laura Brampton | Business Services Co-ordinator
