    Leicester Forest East, Kirby Muxloe and Glenfield Newsletter May 2021 News Knock Knock, Who’s There? – Not sure? Don’t open the door Sometimes people turn up unannounced with the intention of tricking their way into your home or overcharging you for a job. Always be cautious when someone you don’t know calls at your door. LOCK – Always keep your windows and doors locked even if you are going out for a short time. STOP – Ensure the back door is locked before answering the front door so that nobody can access your house while you are distracted CHAIN – If you do decide to open the door, put the door bar or chain on first. Keep the chain on while you talk to the person on the doorstep. When the door is closed, remove the chain in case you need to get out quickly. Alternatively if you don’t have a door chain/bar and don’t wish to open the door use a front window to speak to the visitor. CHECK – NO ID? No entry! If a stranger wasn’t to come in and claims that they are from a utility company, local authority or any other organisation, always ask for their ID, and even if you were expecting the – genuine callers will happily show you ID. Close the door and check the ID carefully. Call the head office if you are still unsure, but use the number from the telephone directory or a recent utility bill, not the one on their card. Bogus callers may be smartly dressed and can be convincing.

  • Chapter 2 Demography
    Chapter 2 Demography Geographical context 2.1 Leicestershire is a landlocked county in central England. It takes its name from the heavily populated City of Leicester, traditionally its administrative centre, although the City of Leicester unitary authority is today administered separately from the County of Leicestershire. The county borders onto Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. 2.2 Much of the built-up area of Leicester City is continuous with adjoining built-up areas of Leicestershire County surrounding it, especially in the districts of Oadby & Wigston and parts of Blaby, Charnwood and Harborough. The built-up area of Leicester is defined for Strategic Planning Policy and known as the Leicester & Leicestershire Principal Urban Area (PUA). The whole of Leicestershire has a strong relationship with Leicester for migration, labour market, regeneration, planning, services and healthcare facilities. Population Estimates 2.3 A broad figure for the current total resident population is about 950,000, or, in very broad terms, nearly a million. According to current Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures, the total population estimate for 2008 is 940,500 for the sub-region of Leicester and Leicestershire, with the local authorities of Leicester City at 294,7001 and the Leicestershire County area at 645,800 resident population. ONS mid- year estimates of resident population are based on counts from the last (2001) census and are updated annually using data on births and deaths occurrences and estimated migration. Figures for local authorities in the area, for selected years, are shown in Table 2.1. The ONS population and migration evidence (referred to as ‘current’) in this report, is as published before their revisions to migration estimates in mid 2010.
