Changing Neighbourhood Services in Your Area Changing neighbourhood services in your area North east area: Belgrave, Humberstone & Hamilton, Rushey Mead, Thurncourt and Troon Your local services are going to change. leicester.gov.uk/tns Why are services changing? • Significant cuts in government funding mean we cannot continue to run services as we do now. • We want to work with communities to make changes now, before it becomes critical. • We are reviewing how neighbourhood services are run to make sure that they are affordable and can respond to local people’s needs. • Leicester City Council is committed to providing high quality neighbourhood services. How do we make changes? We will be working with local people and community organisations to look at the best way to deliver services in future. Options • Reducing the number of buildings we operate from • Merging services into shared buildings: this has led to investment in modern facilities, better access and longer opening hours • Involving local people and groups in running some services • Self-service facilities See the back of this leaflet for a map showing the area and buildings we are talking about.

  • Leicester City Labour Group City of Leicester New Ward Boundary Narrative
    Patrick Kitterick For the attention of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Please find attached the following files in relation to Leicester City Labour Party’s submission regarding the LGBCE’s review of boundaries for Leicester City Council. -PDF Map of the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -PDF Table of the numbers for each ward and variances for the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -Narrative on Proposed New Wards -Data files supplied by Leicester City Council which I believe are compatible with LGBCE systems which give the detailed data surrounding our proposals. If this is, in any way, incompatible with the supplied maps and narrative please contact me to resolve any confusion.. The overall approach of Leicester City Labour Party has been to produce a detailed, validated, city wide proposal for Leicester. We have used the River Soar as a primary definer of boundaries in the city, we have also made greater use of the railway lines in the city as a definer of boundaries and finally we have used major roads as a point to either divide wards or build wards depending on whether they divide communities or have communities grow around them. For the necessity of providing balanced numbers we have had to use minor roads as the final definer of boundaries. Overall we have reduced the number of wards from 22 to 20 and we have kept wards co-terminus with current parliamentary boundaries, as they too provide strong community and natural boundaries.

Through Rushey Mead Educational Trust, the new school will have access to a world-class education network and excellent school-to-school support.

The day was filled with a range of hands-on activities and a career talk from the STEM ambassador. Students were challenged to work effectively in small teams to solve problems practically. Challenges included investigating the issues with supplying energy to the world given the current population growth and the new demands on energy supplies.
