I recently moved to the village to be closer to family members across both Kilworths. News that we topped the speeding poll was not remotely shocking for any villagers, sadly, and I am glad that this information has been recorded for the road safety teams across Harborough District and Leicestershire Police. However, I disagree with the author regarding the need for a pedestrian crossing. I regularly have to cross the road and, despite the speed of drivers, there is certainly not the frequency of vehicles to make crossing it difficult. What the results tell me is that in one patch of the village where it's pretty obvious you should slow down to most people, there were still so many who missed it. As someone on the edge of the village I find it very worrying how fast drivers enter the village from Walcote despite there being a junction straight after the start of the 30mph zone. Even the big car transporters race into the village well above the speed limit. I believe that the real battle the village can win is the one learnt from our Walcote neighbours, where an average speed limit through their village has made it a much safer environment for This letter has residents and road-crossers. An average speed limit would force drivers to reduce their speed to been forwarded on 30mph upon entrance to the village and then maintain that speed throughout the whole course of to the Parish the village. Slower drivers would mean that, with the existing volume of cars combined, we would Council and we have a much safer road to cross. await their response I would hope that this is something that the parish council feels able to push for with the relevant authorities. Best wishes, Rachel Vincent We read with interest the January Newsletter, especially the article regarding the North Kilworth Whisting Alliance. Who are the North Kilworth Whisting Alliance? and who formed this? We both have never heard of this, and as Ivor and I both ran the Whist Drives for a considerable amount of time. We find it unusual that it has never been brought to our attention. The £3.300 Millenium grant to promote the game in North Kilworth. Who took control of this money when issued? Every Whist Drive that we ran, all the Playing Cards, Whist & Raffle Prizes, (usually amounting to over 20 items each time) and not forgetting the Refreshments, was purchased and paid for by ourselves, with the exception, when players kindly donated items for the prize giving. The only Monies we held were for the float for the entrance for the game, £8. and £8 float for the raffle. At the end of each afternoons entertainment. ALL MONIES were donated to either local clubs/societies or to National Charities. Kind Regards. Anita & Ivor Winston. Dear Editors In response Ivor and Anita were thanked profusely for their work in the village through the North Kilworth News, before they left the village. Millennium grants could not be applied for without a group being formed and this was a considerable time before their involvement. The grant was spent across Leicestershire and Northamptonshire in supporting Whisting Groups and those isolated in rural communities. “Help the Aged” agreed the grant and received a full account of the expenditure, which was time limited. A copy of this is available for viewing.

  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Manorial Government
    Victoria County History: Leicestershire LUTTERWORTH DRAFT TEXT by P.J. Fisher and A. Watkins LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Lutterworth’s institutional structure resembled that of a village, with three-weekly manor courts, and twice-yearly views of frankpledge, presided over by the lord’s bailiff. The only court rolls to survive before the 18th century are from 1562, 1564 and 1657.1 Many survive from 1732 to 1857.2 One of the town’s two medieval religious guilds evolved into what became the Town Estate, which repaired the roads and funded town ‘improvements’.3 Town-masters’ accounts survive from 1707 to 1726 and 1761 to 1872.4 Constables’ accounts survive from 1651 to 1707 and 1809 to 1832.5 Their duties in 1657 included reporting ‘Popish Recusants’, houses erected without the statutory 4 a. of land, unlicensed alehouses, people playing unlawful games and those buying or selling corn before the market opened.6 The accounts include expenditure in the 1650s on a cuck-stool (ducking stool) with wheel, a whipping post and a cage (lock-up).7 Vestry minutes survive from 1789 to 1960.8 The town also had a Nuisances Committee from 1855, but it had little power to effect sanitary improvements. There was never a burial board. Town (parish) council minutes survive from 1894.9 Lutterworth was the main market town in Guthlaxton Hundred, and had a minor administrative role in the county in the 14th and 15th centuries. It became the centre of a Poor Law Union in 1835, and a Rural District Council in 1894. It hosted petty sessions and a county court from the 18th century, and magistrates’ courts until 1998.

Important Views Foreword from the Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee Welcome to the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Misterton with Walcote. The current Neighbourhood Plan process was originated by Misterton with Walcote Parish at a Council meeting on 12 January 2017 when it was decided to set up a joint Parish Council/Community Advisory Committee. The impetus for producing a Neighbourhood Plan was not to prevent development, but to ensure that it is of an appropriate scale and character. We are fortunate to live in an area of great beauty both in terms of the natural landscape and the built environment. As the Neighbourhood Plan was being written, the new Local Plan for Harborough was being finalised. It was adopted in April 2019. A key element of the Local Plan is the proposal to establish a Strategic Development Area (SDA) for Lutterworth, a significant proportion of which is in the Neighbourhood Plan Area.

    Harborough Council Size Submission Approved by Full Council on 25th July 2016 Section 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Harborough District spans an area of 59,178 hectares (228 square miles) situated in rural south Leicestershire. The district shares boundaries with Melton Borough, Rutland County, Corby Borough, Kettering Borough, Daventry District, Rugby Borough, Blaby District, Oadby and Wigston Borough, Leicester City, and Charnwood Borough. 1.2 The sub-regional centre is Market Harborough; key centres are recognised as Broughton Astley and Lutterworth; rural centres are Kibworth, Fleckney, Great Glen, Billesdon, Ullesthorpe and Husbands Bosworth. 1.3 Harborough District comprises 91 parishes, of which 45 have parish councils and 42 are parish meetings (3 joint parish meetings represent 7 separate parishes). The town of Market Harborough is unparished. 1.4 There are a number of main ‘A’ roads that link the main urban settlements within and outside the District. The A4303/A4304 serves between Harborough and Lutterworth, and the A426 links Lutterworth to Rugby. The A6 links Market Harborough directly to Leicester and the A14 links to Kettering and the South. The main urban areas of the District are close to the intersection of the M1, M6 and A14. 1.5 The midland mainline runs through the district with London just over an hour’s journey from Market Harborough.

The Office for National Statistics estimates that the population of Harborough District will increase to 100,800 by 2033.
