[edit] The Village
The village is small but still benefits from several amenities including a village pub (The Red Lion)[2], food shops, Hairdressers, and a local park. For 2007, the local constabulatory prioritized police work toward curbing "anti-social behaviour" at the shops and park.[3]
At the edge of the village is Huncote leisure centre and further along the Forest Road, near to the M69 motorway is the home of Leicester Animal Aid, a pet rescue centre.
[edit] Sport
Huncote provides sporting facilities with a local cricket team and running club. Huncote Sports and Social club hosts adult and junior football as well as clay shooting, rounders, cricket and many social events.
