North West Leicestershire District Council has launched an appeal for items to be placed in a time capsule.

Coalville Park will mark its 125th anniversary this year - and to mark the occasion, the council will be burying a capsule to be opened in 50 years' time.

A social media post from the council says: "We are looking for Coalville-based community groups to send in suggestions of a small, a small, commemorative object that could be put inside the capsule.

"This could be something bearing a logo like a medal, certificate, badge, etc, to show they were active in the community in 2024.
