Summary

Leicestershire is set to build a brand-new school for kids with special needs on land in Husbands Bosworth, tackling a critical shortage of local specialist places—especially in the south. After reversing course on closing four nurseries amid strong community pushback, the council is now moving forward with this major step to keep students close to home, reduce reliance on private or out-of-county options, and begin a vital conversation with residents before submitting plans for approval. This is just the start of their effort to meet growing demand and support families across the county. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
