BLABY DISTRICT
COUNCIL are finally to run the formal consultation on the Glenfield Neighbourhood Plan, agreed upon locally, many moons ago. This should be the last step before it is passed to the Inspectorate for approval or otherwise.

It is essential we get a good response.
I feel it ever more pressing that this makes its way onto the books given that Leicester City are currently consulting on their local plan with ambitions for building on the golf course and behind County Hall and that plans are to be submitted to Charnwood shortly for infill between Gynsill Lane and the ring road. Only a small part of one of these is actually in Glenfield but both open up the prospects of development within the village adjacent to these sites.
As further large-scale development was rejected when we consulted on the neighbourhood plan and the plan says we have no reserve sites agreed upon, the plan
NEW DATE FOR GLENFIELD LADIES CO-OPERATIVE CHOIR OPEN EVENING
IN THE JANUARY issue of the Glenfield Gazette the date for our Open Evening was given as 20th February, but due to a clash we have had to re-arrange.
Our Open Evening is now at 7.15 pm on Monday 27th February 2023, at Glenfield Methodist Church, Station Road, Glenfield, LE3 8BT.
We are a ladies choir who sing a variety of music either in unison or in parts. We undertake two concerts per year but mainly sing because we enjoy it. We don’t ask anyone to audition and we welcome all singers who just love to sing.
After our successful concert at Christmas we are back practising and learning some new music.
Come along on 27th February and see if you would like to join us.
will assist us in resisting, or at least mitigating the damage to be caused by, any proposals coming our way
The consultation is likely to be from the start of February till mid-March so watch the Parish website for details of its launch. This may already have happened by the time we go to print.
The plan should be available at the library, the Parish Offices and Blaby Offices or at least on their websites for perusal but it should not be materially different from the one already seen and approved locally.
News from the Green
THE VERY COLD, frosty weather we have had recently may have made us all think of hibernating. Certainly icy pavements need care.
However there are some hopeful signs that spring is on the way. Take a walk on the Millennium Green and you will see that a number of daffodils are braving the wintry conditions and brightening the dark areas among the trees.
The Trust has also begun planning events for 2023. You can see photos of the daffodils and some of the plans we have on our face-book page. We do need your help and support during this year.
Our AGM is taking place on Friday 10th February at 7.30pm in the Parish Council Annexe (next to Morrisons car park – the former library building)
Please come along and help us plan for the future of the Green and meet the Trustees. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided during the evening.
