Shepshed Loughborough West — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Leicestershire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
The Shepshed and Loughborough West neighbourhood beat is mainly a collaboration of commercial, residential and rural environments. The housing in the area consists of both privately owned and local authority operated homes. The M1 motorway runs through the middle of the beat and provides excellent transport links for the area. There are a total of nine schools in the area and these include primary, junior and secondary schools and colleges both in Shepshed and on the west side of Loughborough.
