About Blaby District Council services:
Our statutory services include, planning, benefits, waste and recycling, and licensing. However, we believe that we have a responsibility to deliver much more than this in improving the quality of life for people in the District; therefore we also work with partners to provide services such as community safety projects, cultural and leisure services. We have a role in influencing others whether it be local partners or at county, regional or national level around such issues as education, health and climate change. We also help communities to work together and to improve the local area through their own actions such as Community Forums or voluntary work.

It was great to see everyone at our recent armed forces coffee morning โ˜•

We made poppy brooches ready for Remembrance Day to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.

Thank you to Cosby Yarn Bomb for putting together the poppy templates and sharing these photos.

๐Ÿ Are you a landlord or letting agent?

Get to grips with new laws and responsibilities at our in-person landlord forums.

Tuesday 23 June
Morning session 9.30am to 12pm
Afternoon session 1.30pm to 4.30pm

Blaby District Council Offices, Narborough, Leicestershire

The Rentersโ€™ Right Act has introduced new protections for renters and new requirements for landlords. We know most landlords and letting agents want to do the right thing, and weโ€™re committed to helping them navigate these changes.

This is an ideal opportunity to learn more about the changes, find out about opportunities and incentives and to ask questions of experts who have been supporting landlords across the East Midlands. We have a duty to ensure tenants in privately-rented homes have decent places to live and are treated fairly, and weโ€™re here to work with the sector to help achieve this.

Email [email protected] to secure your place.

What do you remember most about it back then? ๐Ÿ‘‡

โšฝ We're counting down the days until the start of the World Cup and, on the back of a win at the weekend, England are in action again with a friendly on Wednesday 10 June. Sadly, win, lose or draw the match may be remembered by some for all the wrong reasons. Research has shown domestic abuse rises sharply during football tournaments, and particularly when England play. Stand with us this World Cup and pledge to 'blow the whistle' on abuse

๐Ÿ‘‰Ever thought about being a flood warden and helping your community should flooding happen? Find out more ๐Ÿ‘‡

If you love your community, why not become a Volunteer Flood Warden like Ben? โ™ฅ๏ธ

This Volunteers Week, weโ€™re celebrating our local Flood Wardens who help their communities to prepare for flooding โ€“ so they can act faster and recover quicker, if the worst happens.

Flood Wardens act as a local point of contact for flooding information and raise awareness of flood risks so residents can take action in advance.

Find out more about becoming a Flood Warden and register for our online information sessions (there's still time to join the next one on Monday 8 June!) ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ https://orlo.uk/9COHm
