Bridleway Re-opens Between Quorn and Woodhouse
At 11.00am on 23rd September a small ceremony was held to re-open Bridleway K9 between Quorn and Woodhouse. Councillors from Quorn and Woodhouse had been collaborating over a full year to spearhead the resurfacing of the bridleway that connects our two villages. The ceremony was held close to the railway bridge between the two parishes beneath which the bridleway passes.
Particular mention must be made of the Betts Family and Wiliam Davies Ltd. without whose generous support this project would not have been possible. Others who also gave of their time and skill are Councillors from both Quorn and Woodhouse, particularly Cllr. Neil Parr and Cllr. Denis Shiels who are pictured unveiling the plaque. Thanks are due to all who supported this venture.

The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive, and the upgraded bridleway is widely regarded as a significant success, delivering a lasting benefit to both communities.

A parish council is a local authority made up of voters who meet the citizenship requirements, are over 18, live in the parish or within 3 miles or work in the parish. It makes decisions on behalf of the people in the parish and has an overall responsibility for the well-being of its staff and the local community. It is the level of government closest to the community, with the district/Borough council above it in the local government hierarchy. It can make decisions on issues that affect the local community. The council decides the annual budget that is paid for from your council tax, they can express opinions on planning matters, help local groups, campaign for better services, etc. The parish council can also negotiate with and influence other organisations. If you think this is something for you. Check out more at: https://www.leicestershireandrutlandalc.gov.uk/elections.
