Thanks to everyone for the very positive comments about the mural on the side of Hidden Gem Kitchen. The parish council commissioned it using money from Kegworth’s Vitality Grant awarded by NWLDC. Jano from Graffwerk did a fantastic job on the artwork. The image is based on the photo below from the Kegworth Heritage Centre with the old Wells Brewery in the Market Place, to the left of Fredricka’s.

The grant has also funded the new village maps, the Sunday traders’ market, a village sign soon to go up in the Market Square, and business consultancy support.

The Vitality Grant is part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund which aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.

If the Air Ambulance donation bins in the village hall car park are full, please do not leave bags at the side or on top of the containers as they won't be taken by the collectors. Please keep them and donate once the bins are empty.

Any bags left near the containers will be reported as fly tipping.
