North Kilworth News, 2020-12 NORTH KILWORTH NEWS December 2020 KEEPING YOU INFORMED A Lingering Lockdown Looms Hi folks! Well we had all hoped that a month’s lockdown would enable something approaching normal life to resume in December — sadly this is not going to be the case. It looks very likely that normal life is now suspended until after mass vaccinations have taken place — maybe by Easter? In which case it is more important than ever that we, as a community, look out for each other, support each other, and find ways of bringing a little joy into what is going to be a long winter. We had our first hard frost at the end of November and I went out early in the morning with my camera and got some great pictures—one of which now is print- ed our poster-size above our fireplace. It was such a delight seeing the beauty of a frosty morning in the North Kilworth coun- tryside and it gave me a real boost. As I have been carrying out the Lockdown Memories video project I have heard simi- lar stories from many people. We are re- discovering a capacity for finding moments of joy and awe in the simple everyday beauty around us. As we anticipate the Christmas Season— however odd it may be this year — can I wish you all many moments of joy and awe sprinkled throughout your days.

TANK (Traffic Action North Kilworth) is coordinating this effort, with support from the Parish Council. A recent petition demonstrated that there is widespread support for this, and as a result we have engaged with local councillors to carry out traffic surveys. One of the unexpected consequences of lockdown is that car and 4x4 truck speeds seem to have increased as a result of quieter roads, and this is furthermore magnified by the increase in delivery drivers who are often unfamiliar with the area. The key areas of concern are traffic volumes (industrial, and private) combined with a lack of pave- ments and no crossing on the main Lutterworth road, dangerously excessive speeds on the South Kilworth road which passes the Primary School, and generally excessive speeds in the small roads around the village. TANK has linked up with the National 20isplenty campaign, which has been highly successful in driving behavioural changes across the country. An estimated 21 million people in the UK live within areas where 20mph zones are active. http://www.20splenty.org/ The result is a better and safer environment for the whole community. More news to follow. Adam Ramsden, Hunters Moon, NK Wash and Brush up – no more NORTH WORT! I don’t know how many of us have ventured afar recently, but for those who have driven along Pincet Lane towards the village you may have noticed that the road signs have had an early, and long overdue, spring clean? As a frequent user of this route it always bemused me how filthy they had become, partly because of the vegetation that had obscured them. Last year I had a walk down the lane, armed with my loppers, and gave them a trim. This helped the farmer somewhat to get a little closer with his tractor trimmer, but they were still in need of some tlc. So, the other week, I went down again with my mop and bucket and finished the job properly. They are still a little battle-worn, most likely due to the numerous car transporters using them as a means of finding the edge of the road … but that’s another story! David Helsby, Millennium Close Remembrance 2020 No official public ceremony was possible due to COVID restrictions. However on Sunday 8th Nov. a small, wreath laying ceremony was held. There were no colours, no bugler, no public presence. But in an inti- mate and dignified cere- mony prayers were said, the names of the fallen read out, and wreaths laid. At this ceremony Colin Clarke was able to wear a medal from the Malay- sian government in memory of those who fought in the 1955 con- flict there. This had been posthu- mously awarded to Colin’s dad, Victor. KEEPING YOU INFORMED Page 3 YOGA SESSIONS While Face to Face Sessions are Suspended due to COVID-19, I have taken my Yoga sessions on line. It started in May as an experiment to see how people took to it. The concept and the technology was new to many but came easy to others. We persisted and have continued ever since. Hopes were high in September when the Belgrave Village Hall re-opened it’s doors and I arranged some face to face sessions with those who felt it was right. Not everyone was ready for such a move so I continued on line every other week. Just as we got used to that, along came another lockdown and the Village Hall had to close again. Sadness all around but we keep each other smil- ing with our weekly sessions on line. Enjoy the Christmas Season - in whatever way you can. I Hope You Stay Active, Safe and Well.

  • 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 District Council
    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. Harborough’s rural nature, and its proximity to London by rail, make it an increasingly attractive place for commuters to live. 1.6 The 2011 Census recorded the population of the Harborough District as 85,382. The Office for National Statistics estimates that the population of Harborough District will increase to 100,800 by 2033.
