Alex Leger will delight us with his tales of producing the BBC’s Blue Peter programme with Peter Purves, Lesley Judd and John Noakes. He describes encounters with an erupting volcano, climbing windmills, gorillas in Uganda, a life-threatening storm at sea and LuLu the baby elephant who ran amok and created, arguably, the funniest moment in Blue Peter history.

The recent drop-in session run by the planning department of Harborough District Council held in the new library space of Kibworth Community Hub was reasonably well attended.  There were maps of the proposed areas suggested for development in the plan which is for the years to 2041. Also a number of officals were in attendance to answer questions where they could.
