• Check in with relatives and neighbours, especially anyone who may find it harder to cope in a flood
• Pack an emergency kit of essential items, like bottled water and a torch and batteries - and include your insurance documents

Remember never to enter flood water, either on foot or in a vehicle.

📮 A new post box topper has arrived in Whitwick! 📮

If you’re passing through Market Place, be sure to take a look at the wonderful new post box topper created by the very talented Sue and Janet.

This latest creation celebrates Whitwick’s local allotments, with so many lovely little details to spot – including a snail 🐌 and even a gull!

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Sue and Janet, who give their own time to dream up these wonderful ideas and then carefully crochet each creation for our community to enjoy. The amount of thought, time and skill that goes into every topper is truly appreciated.

Why not pop along to Market Place, admire their latest creation and get a photo with the post box while you’re there? 📸

These wonderful handmade displays bring a little extra colour and character to Whitwick, so please do stop and enjoy all the details next time you’re passing.
