A chip shop in kirby is a very bad idea. there are too many fat porky women that eat cream cakes from the deli and do not need to get any bigger. The women in Kirby are generally fatter than in other surrounding villages. not much that you would want to cop of with if you know what i mean.

barry drive is not ideal as its not on a main road.

Take a look at the recent post, if Wilson Bowden get their way there will be one or more take-aways between here and Glenfield. Actually there won’t be a between us at all as we’ll merge together. Effectively it will be in Kirby, Glenfield or whatever we will be called in the middle. Alternatively someone could buy the Post Office seeing as they don’t want to stay, that could be a nice little spot for a chip shop or Chinese.

Main St Man I am glad you would welcome a takeaway in the centre of the village as I agree this is the only place where it would be successful. Although I would ask your neighbours views on the matter before hand as you might find not everyone shares your view!!!

Reading the comments it seems that ‘Cherrytree Resident’ is the NIMBY. I live in the centre of the village and would welcome a take away either here or up in the reaches of Barrie Drive The benefits of Barrie drive would be that it would be a facility in easy reach for the residents up there, as well as drawing in trade from the top end of LFE (makes good business sense). Either location would work.
Young people hang out and congregate in the village – always have done, always will and they are not all bad. It is unhelpful comments such as those posted on here that give all young people a bad name – respect works 2 ways!

So what!!!
I have been to Tesco’s today but it doesn’t mean that I want one next to my house. If you want a takeaway in Kirby offer to put it next to your house & lets see what you think of the extra traffic – litter – noise – smell etc. I bet you would really look forward to that!!
You are a typical NIMBY
I have lived here for over 20 years & self employed & very much in the real world & on this topic my thoughts are clear, if & it’s a big if a takeaway is needed it must be placed in the village centre.

Cherrytree resident, GET IN THE REAL WORLD!
Oh my dear, How totally archaic and snobbish your comments really are!
I fear people like you more than I do the so called yobs!
I have lived in Kirby Muxloe all my life and think a take away would be a fantastic idea!
And I know of many many residents from the barry drive area that frequent the surrounding village take aways!

Apart from yobs hanging around – noice – traffic – litter – smells – another factor would be that there are flats on the ground floor next to this shop & I dont think they or the other shops would be happy with a takeaway next door!!!! It is a complete non starter in this quiet residential area & with the police now cracking down on anti – social behavior what could be more anti -social than putting a takeaway in this area.

I dont think there would be any yobs hanging around barry drive. The only problem would be parking. If it was a nice clean place it would be good. Not sure about drop in centre though
