Whitwick Parish Council hosted a successful community drop-in event on Monday 10th August, giving residents the opportunity to learn about the Local Plan, Governance Review and Legacy Grant Fund, also for residents to ask questions and share their views.
We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed, as well as the dedicated Parish Council staff, parish and District Councillors, representatives from North West Leicestershire District Council, Leicestershire County Council, Save West Valley Whitwick and all other guests who supported the event. Your involvement and commitment to our community are greatly appreciated.

You can also send details to the Community Office – by email, post or pop it in the letterbox. If people ask us for information like this we will be able to let them know.
