Welcome to Mowsley
Mowsley, though small, is just big enough with 90 houses and 220 inhabitants to have village status. Despite its size there is lots going on. There is an active church, primary school, village hall, country pub and eatery, livery stables, farm and three clubs: the Heritage Society, Cricket Club and Gardening Club.
The village sits atop a plateau that is just about the highest point for miles around. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and quiet lanes it is an ideal place from which to take a quiet stroll or ride.

This is an urgent plea for help.
A 126 metre high wind turbine is proposed on land at Sparrow Lodge, Pincet Lane, between Husbands Bosworth, North Kilworth and Walton.
Harborough DC are deciding this application at 6.30pm on Tuesday 1st December.
I cannot over emphasise the physical size of this development, and the significant, adverse, impact that it will have on the local area. It will be one of the tallest structures in the East Midlands
My request is twofold:
1. If you have not written to HDC to object about this, please do so now. If you need help writing a suitable letter, please email me at nicola428@btinternet.com;
2. Please come to the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening to demonstrate your opposition to this development. More » More »
This turbine is set to ruin three dwellings which are all within 560 metres, the closest being 460 metres. There are more houses at between 500m and 1000m that will also be affected. Our council staff seem happy to allow this to happen. We will know next Tuesday how the Councillors feel.
The Council have already acknowledged that the visual dominance of the turbine on our home will be overbearing and that it will have an adverse effect upon our residential amenity. This is neither fair nor just.
Please feel free to contact me on 01858 880083 / 07717 698550 if you have any questions.

Residents of Mowsley should soon receive a copy of the 'Mowsley Parish Plan Questionnaire' which is being distributed throughout the community over the next couple of weeks.
The Mowsley Parish Plan is being led by a group of dedicated local volunteers who have been working under the guidance of the Rural Community Council since January 2009. The Parish Plan Questionnaire is the first step in the process of producing the plan and is intended to seek information as well as the wishes and feelings of the community upon which the plan will be based.

It is important that as many people as possible complete the questionnaire which is available either on paper or online (please follow the title link). If you have any questions or would like more information on the Mowsley Parish Plan please contact Sam Howlett on 0116 2689709 or showlett@ruralcc.org.uk. « Less
