Grass-cutting on council properties | Due to wet conditions of the grass, we may not be able to cut all of the grass areas of our council properties at this current time; this includes our parks, open spaces and play areas. Our team are surveying the sites and as soon as the areas are dry enough, our team will be grass-cutting as usual. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Two pupils from Moira have been presented brand new bikes after winning a festive design competition.

James (year 1) and Lilly-Rose (year 5) both designed Christmas cards for the Safer North West Leicestershire Partnership and were crowned winners of the Celebrate Safely Christmas card competition. As well as receiving brand-new bikes with helmets, they will also have their card designs distributed across the district.

These budding artists were among 193 students that entered the competition with Mabel (year 2) and Emily (year 5) both being runners up and receiving family passes for Conkers. All students that participated also received a selection box, wrapped by the cadets, to take home and enjoy.

Officers from Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue were the judges and chose the two winning designs to feature on the police’s Christmas card lists.

Councillor Michael Wyatt, Chair of the Safer North West Leicestershire Partnership, said: “We’ve held this competition for a number of years and has always been successful. It’s important for students to understand how important safety is at Christmas time as well as being able to find their creative flair.

“Thank you to every student that entered, it’s great to know there are so many talented local young artists.”
