Changes Observed
Kibworth Joint Recreation Committee are to be congratulated. They have further enhanced all our recreation areas – be they small or large – with the installation of display panels explaining the history of each area.
Furthermore the wildflower display in Rookery Park is spectacular and the new metal fencing at the small park on corner of Powell Road/Barnard Way is definitely a substantial improvement.
Business Moved Out
‘Fox Country Properties’ have departed the High Street and moved back to Market Bosworth. This shop has now been taken by Home Property Sales.
Business Celebrating 35 Years
‘Wedding Belles’ Bridal Boutique at 8/10 High Street, recently celebrated 35 years since it first opened back in 1990!
BT Poles?
Suddenly and almost without warning large wooden 10 metre plus high telegraph poles have appeared on Rectory Estate – an estate that didn’t previously have such structures. This is the work of BT and is completely retro especially as households on this estate have recently been inconvenienced by the installation of fibre by Gigaclear – our designated Rural Network Installer. We wait to see if anyone has a line to their property.
New Squeakies name
We’ve noticed the independent children’s nursery and pre-school business called Squeak B’s has changed its name to just Squeakies. This has been in existence now for 10 years having started in January 2015.
Finally it will be interesting to see what happens to the property at 47 Fleckney Road, Kibworth.
Built in the 1920s the split level two storey building knowns as Kibworth (Working Mens’) Club was sold at auction in precisely 31 minutes, back on 11 June 2025!
The first bid of £345,000 being lodged at 13.15. The final bid (6th bid) of £350,000 which was accepted was at 13.46. This was the reserve asking price.
