NWLDC Message around parks and public toilets
Sadly, we've had to the decision to close our parks and playgrounds from tonight. While we'd love to keep them open it is simply too difficult for people to follow social distancing guidelines in these areas.
It's not physically possible for us to lock up many of our parks and playgrounds – but we ask for your support in adhering to these closures.
Public toilets managed by NWLDC in Coalville and... Read More »
