Last month, I held one of my regular community drop-ins at St Patrick’s Church on Beaumont Leys Lane, where I invited local people to come and discuss their area and any issues I might be able to help them with. I’ve taken up a range of issues that came up, […]
I recently held a well-attended public event with the City Mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby, to give local residents from in and around the Woodgate area a say over proposals to develop Leicester’s Waterside.
