Barrow-upon-Soar at Breaking Point

Barrow-upon-Soar is on the brink, but over 350 new homes are still set to bulldoze through despite fierce local opposition. Council officers recommend approving two major schemes—one on Cotes Road with 130 homes, another north of Willow Road with 221 plus a new school—despite residents screaming about overloaded schools, full GP services, failing drainage, and traffic nightmares, especially around the single-lane bridge. Developers are even squabbling over conflicting plans, but the council’s report says “go ahead,” turning a village’s cry for help into a development win.
