## Resource

Markfield’s future hangs in the balance as the council prepares to decide on 67 new homes—despite fierce local opposition. Developers tout 40% affordable housing and community benefits, but residents fear overcrowding, strain on healthcare, loss of countryside views, and damage to wildlife. With 26 objections and concerns from longtime residents and even a retired councilor, the decision next week could reshape this Leicestershire village forever.
