A number of projects have been completed or are ongoing in Blaby District. For details on settlements not shown below please contact Jessica Grudgings jgrudgings@ruralcc.org.uk.

Narborough and Littlethorpe

The Parish Plan in Narborough and Littlethorpe started in 2007, the open meeting had an impressive turn out and a steering group formed soon after. An adult questionnaire was formulated by the group of dedicated volunteers and was distributed to every household and business within the parish. Similarly a youth questionnaire was created and with the help of the local schools this was completed by children from eight to eighteen years. The group are now working hard to turn these results into a report.
The plan is covering all areas of life in Narborough and Littlethorpe and should be available to the public by Autumn 2009.

Kirby Muxloe

Kirby Muxloe Parish Plan Group held a Community Fayre on the morning of Saturday 18th April at the village hall to advertise the questionnaire that will be delivered to every household within the village over the next few weeks.
The Parish Plan Group will consider all responses from this questionnaire and once analysed the group of volunteers will turn these responses into a report that will be sent to service providers in the area and will provide ideas for the village in the future.

Alongside advertising the questionnaire, a huge scale map of the village that the primary school children had helped to make was on display. Residents were invited to add their ideas and comments about the area to the map and these comments will also be reviewed.

In order for residents to see what groups are already in existence in their village, the Parish Plan Group invited a number of local clubs and societies, including the Badminton Club, the Scout Group and the Women’s Institute as well as many more, to take part.
The Synergy Choir also took to the stage to perform a variety of songs, including a beautiful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’. Local businesses were also involved by kindly donating prizes for the raffle.

The adult questionnaire will be distributed over the next few weeks and will also be available for completion online, the deadline for completion will be Friday 26th June.

Glenfield Parish Plan

The inaugural meeting of the Glenfield Parish Plan Group was held at Park House on Monday 9 June 2008. The group of local volunteers, supported by the Rural Community Council, are hoping to work alongside the Parish Council to compile a plan for the future development of Glenfield. Residents are to be consulted on a wide range of topics including local transport, local facilities, traffic, services and behaviour.

Further information on the date of the next meeting can be obtained from Jessica Grudgings of the Rural Community Council on 0116 268 9708.

Thurlaston

The results from the questionnaire have now been analysed and a draft action plan produced. The steering group chose to focus on traffic, transport and young people. It is likely a report will be produced and an open event organised to give people the opportunity to see what needs addressing and how.
