5 STAR SERVICE!
The Countesthorpe Luncheon Club, which has been providing hot meals for senior citizens in the village for the past fifty years, has once again been given five Stars by the health and hygiene department of Blaby District Council. This is a brilliant outcome for all of the volunteers who provide and cook the meals each week, congratulations to all involved. These inspections are an unannounced spot visit.
