Rural housing and care set for boost
A £500,000 investment in rural housing and a care scheme in Leicestershire are due to be approved.
A total of 24 affordable homes are planned for Sharnford, North Kilworth, Melton and Asfordby.
A 53-place extra care development in Market Harborough is to be refurbished.
Council leader Nick Rushton said: "It's a win-win for the county's economy and local residents... creating affordable housing for older people and for villagers."
The council is being urged to accept the plans at a meeting on 12 June.
