After doorknocking back in October in and around the Welsted Road and Heritage Road area, it was clear from speaking with local residents that the bins were not being emptied frequently enough on the estate. (See the image below!)
I raised the issue with the developers and am pleased they are arranging for a new contractor to empty these more regularly, so we can avoid the overflowing scenes that have been ongoing for long enough.
It might not be a huge issue to some, but for local residents, this was really causing a stink!
This is why I make a point of being out in the community, listening to what matters to you year-round, and addressing everything from complex casework to the smaller issues that still deserve action.

In North West Leicestershire, we take pride in supporting those who serve our community. I’m proud that, right across our area, thousands of people line the streets every year to show their support for our veterans and service personnel.
This Government is stepping up support through the new Veterans Strategy, the first for seven years. As part of this, I have written to the District Council, encouraging them to bid for their share of this funding to bring a veterans’ support centre to North West Leicestershire.
For too long, our veterans have been let down. That is why we are making substantial changes which will make a material difference to those who choose to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. ... See MoreSee Less

The Help to Save scheme, originally due to close in 2027, will now be made permanent and extended to parents and carers on Universal Credit from 2028.
Described by Martin Lewis as “unbeatable,” the scheme lets eligible savers put away up to £2,400 over four years, with a £1,200 government bonus added on top — helping families build up savings and a financial cushion for emergencies like a broken boiler.
From 2028, the scheme will be opened up to an additional 1.5 million people, including Universal Credit claimants with children in education and carers who provide at least 35 hours of care each week, offering extra support with the cost of living. ... See MoreSee Less

All care leavers will automatically qualify for full student loan support, a step that helps level the playing field for those who have faced the toughest starts in life.
This change removes a major barrier to education and opportunity for young people leaving care, giving them access to the maximum maintenance loan, worth up to £13,500.
Currently, only 14% of care leavers go on to university, compared to 50% of their peers, and they are far more likely to drop out, often due to financial challenges.
This new support builds on the government’s commitment to ensure disadvantaged students are not priced out of higher education, as highlighted in the recent Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper. ... See MoreSee Less
