A pioneering new blueprint has been unveiled, outlining the collaborative efforts of key safety partners across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland to prevent crime and harm.

As we move towards Autumn, the crew at Kibworth Fire Station wanted to take the opportunity to share some of the work they have done, along with the incidents they have attended, with the local community. Our role is always centred on keeping people safe. Whether that’s through responding to emergencies or providing fire safety advice and support.

With the departure of Dillon`s Opticians from the Square in Kibworth, through the ill health of Pratish Solanki, known to so many as ‘Tish’, the Kibworth and District Chronicle area and indeed wider afield has lost (in concise premises) a homely, welcoming, trusted atmosphere, often accompanied by a cup of tea, conversation and importantly, a vast experience and practical knowledge of the optic world; in touch with developments internationally, and always guided by the needs of the eye rather than seeing spectacles as a fashion accessory. So many in the Chronicle area offer not only to Tish but his wife and to his daughter (also a qualified optician), thanks for the past and very best wishes for this early retirement on health grounds. As circumstances allow, he hopes to maintain contact with those he knew.
