Despite the geographical confusion, all those living there agree on the joys of living in the village
People in a village on the Nottinghamshire border have spoken about how they feel torn between three counties. The large Leicestershire village of Bottesford is situated in a strange location, with its residents having a Nottinghamshire postcode and one of the nearest towns being a Lincolnshire one.
Nicky Hibbert, 44, who has a hair salon opposite the Co-op in Queen Street, said: "It's a lovely little village and it's great for eating out and has nice pubs. There's pretty much everything you want here and if you need to go somewhere bigger there's always Grantham - but that's a hell hole!"Her friend and customer Lynn Adlington, 55, said: "It's a nice-looking village, too.
The local borough councillor for the area, Don Pritchett, echoed the opinion that Bottesford has everything you could ever want. He said: "It's very well serviced with doctors, pubs, restaurants, good schools, an active church and chapel, a hugely successful grassroots football club involving about 2,000 local people and a cricket club that's also popular and successful.
Villager Colin Watts, 66, who has spent the past 23 years in Bottesford, said: "It's a very well-established village and you've got everything you need here from the vets and shops to local builders and other trades.
