Charnwood Borough Council - Leading in Leicestershire

After a lot of work, with other councillors, officials and residents, I'm delighted to say that the Kingfisher Estate is to go through the process to get some kind of parking scheme.

This afternoon, I went to Emmanuel Church at the heart of Southfields ward. I was looking at the work being done on 'The Bigger Picture.' The Big Picture is a world record breaking community picture, comprising of almost 500 panels, each painted by a community group or individual. Together they make up an 80 metre long picture of the Easter story being compiled on the grass outside Emmanuel Church on Forest Road during mid-March. This hasn't just involved Christian groups, and I was told that..

Here's a look at what's been achieved so far!

As it's half term, I decided to take a quick walk round (and up) Beacon Hill this morning. I really enjoyed the fresh air, and it made all the more determined to see that the beautiful countryside that covers our area gains an official designation as a Regional Park. Some people might remember that I raised a motion about getting Charnwood Forest regional park status and I hope to hear some positive news soon.

Since being elected, I've spoken with more residents concerned about parking issues than anything else. While much has been done to address the issue in areas with resident's preference parking (the new street wardens etc.), there is still a problem in the pockets of Southfields that aren't covered - notably the Kingfisher Estate. I am part of a group of councillors whose wards border Loughborough University who are attempting to get some of these issues address. The next meeting is on Wednesday..
