Are you interested in what is happening in your village, then  perhaps you should consider attending this meeting.

Are you aware of the plans for a solar farm at Merry Lees?

Did you know there was a community consultation event in June 2025 at the Bagworth Community Centre, in Bagworth, Coalville regarding this application.

Heath Road Solar Farm

Or the plans to build on land off St Peter’s Dr, Warwick Close at the rear of Sharpe’s Close?

Or like me have you noticed that a house is being built within feet of your garden fence, with no prior knowledge or consultation from the planning department?

Please note … The poster shown above, published by the Parish council and circulated around the village is confusing.

It states the venue is at Thornton community centre but lists that as being at Bagworth with a Bagworth post code.

My understanding is that the venue is definitely at Thornton.

Working Party – St Peter’s church, Thornton

There will be a churchyard working party this Saturday (11th April) from 10am until 12 noon.

All the usual jobs as ever!  Do hope you are able to join us even for a short while.  Remember stout gloves, and shoes and any tools you might like to use.
