Shepshed Gateway Feature - Kirkhill
This sculpture formed part of Leicestershires Market Town Programme which amongst other aims to make the smaller centre more welcoming and these improvements include streetscape improvements such as improved signage, new footways etc together with newsletters for businesses and a shopping guide.
The artwork cost £20,000 and was funded largely by the LSEP (LeicesterShire Economic partnership)with some Leicestershire County Council support.
The artwork was commissioned following workshops which were held during Summer 2005 with local school children in Shepshed. The children's perception of Shepshed was built into the design, together with the local heritage of sheep and woodlands. The artist was Anu Patel.

Leicestershire Constabulary joins forces with multi-agency colleagues to distribute the ‘Keep Safe' card designed specifically for use by people with learning disabilities across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The fold out ‘Keep Safe' card can be kept in a wallet or purse and helps in difficult situations with easy to understand words and pictures i.e. if the card holder uses sign language or can lip read; what medication they take and who to contact in an emergency.

Not in My Neighbourhood Week provides an excellent opportunity for Neighbourhood Watch Schemes to take advantage of the week-long national focus placed on profiling those who work hard on a daily basis to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour and make our communities safer. Weeks of action such as this also help to increase public confidence in local agencies.
We do hope that as many Neighbourhood Watch Schemes as possible are able to take part in the week which runs from 13th-17th October .
