In 2000, villagers got the approval of building a bypass for Rearsby, work started in August 2003 and by the following year the bypass was open allowing traffic to pass Rearsby without going through the village, the estimated cost of the bypass was £5.9 million. It is a village with a strong community spirit which has been shown through a long-standing publishing of the Rearsby Scene (the local village newspaper).
