Annual Parish Field Day Saturday 18th May

Coleorton Annual Field Day Coleorton Parish Council holds an Annual Parish Meeting each year. This year the meeting was held in Coleorton Wood which the Council has recently acquired and secured for the future by designating it a Queen Elizabeth II Field in Trust. The Fields-in-Trust plaque was unveiled.

The Roots community singers entertained us with their a capella performance. The Council and local organisations and clubs had stands and displays and there were games and activities taking place around the woods. More about the Coleorton Field Day >>

Heritage Group walk through Rough Park

On the morning of Wednesday 22 May a group of hardy walkers set out from Kings Arms to walk seven and a half miles across footpaths and tracks taking in Farm Town, the old Lounge open cast coal mine, Rough Park, New Lount Nature Reserve and the Ginn Stables in Overwoods Road. before cutting back behind the School and returning to the Kings Arms (where some stayed a while!). The walk took 3 hours and despite the weather forecast it didn’t rain (probably because several walkers were carrying precautionary folding brollies!). See some more photos of the walk >>

Parking on pavements and corners in Coleorton

The Parish Council is concerned that vehicles are being parked on pavements so that pedestrians have to walk in the road. This is a particular problem for people with children. It is both illegal and dangerous to park on pavements and the Parish Council has asked the Police for their help in stopping it. There are also instances of vehicles being parked on blind bends which could result in a serious accident.

Please try to park with a thought to other road and pavement users. Use drives where possible and where they are not available, park on the road. This has the added benefit of reducing the speed of traffic through the parish, supporting the speed indicators maintained by the Parish Council.

Coleorton Parish Council thanks you for your support and consideration.

We hope the website will become a centre of information about activities, events and clubs in the area, a directory for local businesses and services, public transport, a platform for people who would like to share their enthusiasm for local history, the environment, etc.
