The onset of the Covid pandemic forced a radical rethink for artists such as Claire Holmes. As Thread & Ink, Claire’s chief outlet for her hand printed and embroidered textiles had been via art fairs. Thanks to Covid, these were now cancelled en masse. Speaking to other artists, she found they were in the same boat. There were lots of beautiful things to sell and a dwindling number of places in which to sell them. Thus, in October 2020, Hallaton Artisan was born.

As we reach the business end of the 2021 season, our first senior team silverware of the season has made its way back to Kibworth Cricket Club. We played Loughborough Town at Leicester County Cricket Club on a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Our 12 man squad, made up of 7 players that have come through the juniors at Kibworth Cricket Club, had a superb day winning by 8 wickets.

It has been a brilliant return to Kibworth CE Primary school. Staff have worked really hard to put in place new measures to help us return to an environment where we are able to put learning first again.

The original plan was formally made by Harborough District Council in 2018. Since then there has been new planning guidance issued and updates to both the Harborough Local Plan and to the National Planning Policy Framework. Significant additional powers are now granted to neighbourhood plans that allocate sites for housing to meet its local target as set by Harborough DC. The parish council is proposing changes to the Neighbourhood Plan to take advantage of these new powers. This will also help protect more sensitive areas across the parish from inappropriate development.
