Love Parks Week will be taking place later this month - and open spaces in Coalville will be involved.

The week takes place from July 23-August 1 and North West Leicestershire District Council has organised some free activities for families to get involved in at parks around Coalville.

The Council says: "This year, following the extra pressure that our beloved parks and green spaces have seen during the pandemic, we will use Love Parks Week to send a rallying cry to the great British public to Love, Respect and Protect our parks throughout the summer of 2021 and beyond.

"We aim to get more families active together outdoors in the parks around Coalville."
