Amanda Hack welcomes government’s £2.7 million investment to boost local transport in Leicestershire

Share on Social Media

The Government has announced a further boost to local transport that should give local people greater access to jobs, education and public services.
Another Cash Boost for Local Transport in Leicestershire
 
I’m pleased to welcome the Government’s £2.7 million investment to improve local transport across Leicestershire, part of a wider £104 million package to strengthen connections in towns and rural areas across the country.
 
That’s on top of last year’s £8 million uplift for better buses across Leicestershire.
 
Good local transport links are a lifeline for so many people in North West Leicestershire. Reliable bus routes and better accessibility mean people can get to work, visit family, reach shops, and attend vital appointments.
 
That’s why I’m disappointed that Leicestershire County Council has continued to allow service cuts in our area, despite receiving significant funding to protect and improve rural connectivity.
 
There are no more excuses, our Labour Government is providing the cash, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure North West Leicestershire gets its fair share.
 
For too long, other parts of the county have seen more investment while our communities have faced repeated cuts. It’s time for that to change.
This funding gives the County Council a real opportunity to deliver better buses and stronger connections for local people.
 
It’s time we got the services our area deserves.

I was delighted to be part of the official opening of Coalville Post Office on Friday, restoring an important service to the town centre.

It’s also great to see Krishan Joshi return as Postmaster for Coalville. When I first met him after the closure of the Ashby Road branch, he shared his vision to bring these services back to Marlborough Square, and I was pleased to support his efforts.

The Post Office provides vital services, from parcels to banking and acts as a hub for local trade. It’s fantastic to see it once again at the heart of our community.

Post Office opening times
Mon - Fri 09:00 – 17:30
Saturday 09:00 – 12:30
Sunday Closed

Services include but are not limited too:
✅ Drop & Go
✅ Parcelforce Express Services
✅ Post & Go
✅ Pay Bills and Top up
✅ Passport Applications
✅ Vehicle Tax

It was good to be at this great annual concert to listen such talented musicians at the Holy Trinity.
Such a wonderful arrangement this year.

My father in law played pipes and drums with the Seaforth pipeband for years before retiring from the band, so it’s always good to hear them play.

Congratulations to Brian Senton and all the volunteers who make this such a special event to mark Remembrance.
