  • Street Swepstone, Coalville, LE67 2SG
    Main Street Swepstone, Coalville, LE67 2SG Main Street Swepstone, Coalville, LE67 2SG £565,000 A beautiful detached barn conversion surrounded by rolling countryside offering over 2000 sq.ft of stylish living space, boasting four bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, two reception rooms and a bespoke open plan 'live in' dining kitchen. Originally constructed circa 1800 the original Carthouse Barn has been sympathetically converted some 20 years ago with a careful eye using a variety of reclaimed materials including pine church floorboards, stone blocks (from Calke Abbey), cast iron radiators and pillars; there is much to love and there is a wealth of living space on offer. The location is peaceful and surrounded by glorious roiling countryside with far reaching views. The Cart House barn lies in an enviable position set well away from the main road down a long shared private driveway approach which culminates at the five exclusive barns. From around the barn, public footpaths will lead you through many walks across fields through the National Forest to the nearby neighbouring villages of Newton Burgoland and Normanton le Heath. Swepstone itself offers fast and easy access to the nearby M42 connecting the Midland motorway network, along with the pretty market towns of Ashby-de-la- Zouch and Market Bosworth, which offer a comprehensive range of facilities. This stylish barn is arranged over two floors offering in excess of 2000 sq.ft of character accommodation and we highly recommend an internal appraisal to appreciate the location and the architecturally resplendent living space on offer. Accommodation; Steps lead you down to a wide entrance door that opens to reveal an entrance porch with tiled floor.

  • We Must Confess Our Wrongdoing, in Order to Be Forgiven
    WE MUST CONFESS OUR WRONGDOING, IN ORDER TO BE FORGIVEN. Dear All, I want to begin by asking a question ‘What makes your blood boil? What annoys you or makes you disgruntled?’ Apart from the big issues of the world like the state of the planet and the pandemic, I suppose my next statement pales into insignificance. I recently received exceptionally poor service from two companies who usually offer excellent service. I was disappointed, but more than that I was confused, because the service and care was usually so very good. I wrote a short email to both companies explaining what had happened in the hope that the problems could be rectified. Both companies’ customer service teams responded quite quickly and the problems were resolved. I was pleased and I am sure I’ll carry on using both companies as I did before. The difference between the companies was that one company began the correspondence with a simple but important sentence, ‘We are so sorry about this.’ The apology was short and sweet, but it immediately took the sting out of the situation and I believed that they regretted the mistake and would now act. The other company began their response with a non-apology apology. It tried to sound like an apology, whilst shifting the blame here, there, and everywhere! Non-apology apologies, sometimes called backhanded apologies, seem to be increasingly popular in all walks of life. We are all used to hearing them from politicians and celebrities caught in a public scandal, but now I seem to be coming across them from people in all walks of life.

  • County Councillor Annual Report
    County Councillor Annual Report This report summarises the activities of the following member of the County Council during Name of Councillor Mr N J Rushton CC 1) Electoral Division activities Main Activities and the impact during the past year: The 2018/19 civic year at County Hall has been eventful. We’re now halfway through the current term, preparing for the County elections in 2021. On top of my County Council duties as Leader of the Council representing the strategic interests of all the residents in Leicestershire, I try to attend all my parish councils of Ashby-de-la Zouch, Belton, Breedon on the Hill, Coleorton, Isley cum Langley, Long Whatton, Normanton le Heath, Osgathorpe, Packington, Staunton Harold, Swannington and Worthington, on a regular basis. Most of the issues residents raise with me are planning, environment and development related, but increasingly, I’ve found residents are concerned with housing pressures, speeding traffic, inconsiderate parking, access to local schools, school transport, waste disposal, health and social care issues, infrastructure needed to support development, such as superfast broadband, schools and road improvements. I hold regular meetings with our local MP Andrew Bridgen throughout the year. We work closely together to try and resolve the issues and casework raised. Our work on lobbying Government for a fairer way to fund future local government spending has yielded some results, not only a full Government review on fairer funding, but also a review on business rates distribution and their retention locally. This work is ongoing as uncertainty in Government and Brexit continues to affect the domestic policy agenda.
