Remembrance

The poppies on the lamposts around the parish are there to remind us that 11 November is Remembrance Day when we think about all the servicemen and women who gave their lives or were injured in fighting wars on our behalf.

On Sunday 10 November there was a Remembrance Day Service at Viscount Beaumont School 10.00am followed by Service at the War Memorial at 10.55am and a reading of the names of the fallen. The Parish Council laid a wreath on behalf of Coleorton residents.

Petition to arrange a Speedwatch

Despite the installation of mobile warning signs that were erected in 2011 following earlier Speedwatch campaigns, speeding through the village remains a major concern. The volume of traffic appears to have increased which only makes the matter more dangerous.

The Parish Council have opened a petition to gain enough support to request a Speedwatch from the County Council. This is available at the Post Office. Alternatively, download petition form, collect signatures and return to Parish Clerk.

Parish Boundary

You may find it quite odd that The Woolrooms is not actually in Coleorton Parish, but Worthington, and so is the area of Lower Moor Road between brook in the dip and Rempstone Road. The current boundary is the result of changes made over several centuries for reasons long forgotten and quite irrelevant now. Some locals feel it's time to take another look so a petition has been raised to support a request for a change. Read more about proposed changes >>. The petition is available at Coleorton Post Office. You can also email comments to Andrew Hogsden Clerk to the Council at parishclerk@coleorton.org.uk
