## Resource

Moira Furnace, a historic ironworks museum in Leicestershires National Forest, is set for a major revamp. After a successful phase one with £490,000 in repairs, North West Leicestershire District Council plans to invest £2.4 million in phase two. This could include a new visitor center, cafe, electric vehicle charging stations, play areas, and canal structure improvements. The furnace, dating back to 1806, aims to become a top tourist destination with this expansion. The council will discuss the proposal this Tuesday, with a potential green light for the project.
