Something in the water?
One or two village residents have flagged up the taste of the water in Kinoulton, it does seem to have a bit of a taint to it which running the tap doesn't seem to alter. An engineer is visiting on July 16th to look into one villager's complaint about the unpleasant tasting water and I thought it might be useful to see if anyone else has any comments that we can pass on. Please do email me and I'll collate comments and pass them on.
Kinoulton Access from A46
From Jon Gladstone, Chairman Kinoulton Parish Council.
It is still to be confirmed whether the new KN03 junction (giving direct access for Kinoulton residents onto the Widmerpool roundabout) as recommended after the First Public Inquiry, will be built. We will advise you of its conclusions as soon as we hear.

Urgent message from 1st Kinoulton Brownies!
PLEASE HELP US! We are a lively, but very lovely group of 24 Brownies who come from Kinoulton, Hickling, Upper Broughton and Colston Bassett. Our leaders are retiring at the end of July and we really need a couple of people to take over or we can't carry on being a Brownie Pack.
We meet on a Wednesday for an hour and a half and like to play games, make stuff, go for walks in the dark and get muddy in Bluebell Woods. We even cleaned the church yesterday with eco friendly cleaning products that we made ourselves. You might have heard us singing as we walked to the church and back!
Our mums will help you and our leaders will hold your hand until you don't need them anymore. Want to find out more? Please don't hesitate to call Julie Norman on 07837 499204 or Emma Scarborough on 07981 126082 to chat it through.
