Current priorities
HGVs ignoring the weight restriction and using roads in Ellistown, Ibstock and Heather when they are not permitted to do so.
You said HGVs are ignoring the weight restriction and using roads in Ellistown, Ibstock and Heather when they are not permitted to do so. This has been particularly noted on Whitehill Road and Ibstock Road in Ellistown, Leicester Road, Station Road and Ashby Road in Ibstock and Pisca Lane and Swepstone Road in Heather. This has been communicated through Neighbourhood Link (NHL) surveys, e-mails and calls to the Beat Team and discussed at our community events. We have stopped a number of HGVs and found a high proportion are travelling lawfully within the weight restriction either delivering or picking up a load and therefore exempt. Or their depot is within the area so are also exempt. We have, however, identified some drivers using the area as a short cut and with no exemption. Efforts will continue to target this.
Set: 2026-07-01
Vehicles travelling at an excessive speed on Grange Road in Hugglescote, Leicester Road in Whitwick, Thornborough Road in Whitwick and Loughborough Road in Thringstone.
You said cars are driving at an excessive speed on Grange Road in Hugglescote, Leicester Road in Whitwick, Thornborough Road in Whitwick and Loughborough Road in Thringstone.

We have published advice and warnings regarding speeding on our social media links on Facebook and Neighbourhood Link (NHL). We will make specific and targeted patrols over the next quarter to identify and deal with those driving at an excess speed.
Set: 2026-07-01
Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) and the use of off road motorbikes and electric motorbikes in Agar Nook in and around Twyford Close.
You said some residents and visitors to the area are causing Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) on some of the residential streets in Agar Nook.
