Anti Social Behaviour in Great Glen
Posted: Fri, 03 Jul 2020 09:08 by Alexis Biggs
Sadly there have been recent reports of anti-social behaviour at the Recreation Ground on Bindley's Lane. Unfortunately this has become commonplace in the adjoining towns and villages, so the Police have allocated a special car to deal with such issues.
If you are aware of any anti-social behaviour in Great Glen, please make sure you report it to the Police using telephone number 101 or online at www.leics.police.uk It is important that it is reported through the correct channels so that the car designated can be deployed appropriately. More »
Thank you for your support with this matter. » Less

Leicester Lockdown Boundaries...
Posted: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 10:02 by Cheryl Small
By Harborough FM News..
'A detailed map of the Leicester lock-down area has been released and shows no parts of the Harborough District are included.
It was announced last night coronavirus restrictions will remain in place in the city and suburbs, as part of the UK's first localised lockdown.
The areas of Leicestershire included in the localised lockdown are:
All areas of Oadby and Wigston
In Blaby District:
• Braunstone Town (including Fosse Park)
• Glenfield
• Glen Parva
• Leicester Forest East (East of the M1)
• Thorpe Astley More »
In Charnwood:
• Birstall
• Thurmaston
Leicestershire County Council says it is currently working on a postcode checker for those who live on borders and are unsure if they are included.
Non-essential shops in the lockdown area will close today and schools will close from Thursday and all non-essential travel to and from Leicester will be banned.
People living in the affected areas are being urged to "stay at home as much as they can" and the nationwide easing of lockdown planned for July 4th does not apply to them, he said.
A walk-in testing centre is also being set up in the city for people with symptoms, with extra funding going to all Leicestershire councils to help support businesses and those forced to self-isolate.
The relaxation of rules for people who are shielding in the area – planned for 6 July – cannot go ahead either.
Leicester accounts for 10% of all coronavirus cases reported across the country over the past week, with 135 per 100,000 people.
Mr Hancock says the measures will be reviewed in two weeks and will not be in place "any longer than necessary"' » Less
