A look forward to 2026

A Big step forward for working families 👶💙
From April, millions of workers will get day-one rights to parental leave, meaning no parent has to choose between their job and being there for their child.
Over 18 million workers will benefit, including 32,000 more dads who will be able to take paternity leave straight away, as a mother would with maternity leave.
Plus new rights for bereaved partners to take up to 52 weeks’ leave. This fixes the previously unfair system where bereaved partners had to rely on the compassion of an employer to be granted time off to grieve.
That's the difference our Employment Rights Act will make. These changes mean fairer workplaces and better support for families when it matters most. ... See MoreSee Less

Filling in potholes isn’t just about making roads safer for everyone; it also helps prevent unnecessary and unexpected repair costs for drivers, which can often run into hundreds of pounds.
As part of a major uplift in funding for road maintenance (£144m for Leicestershire, on top of last year's £28.5m) the Department for Transport is rating local councils on how well they fill potholes and look after their roads. These ratings are based on three key areas:
🚦 Road condition: How good or bad the state of local roads is
💰 Council spending: How much councils invest in road repairs
🛠️ Best practice: Whether councils follow best practice in maintaining highways
Some of this funding was put to good use last summer in Coalville, where several roads were resurfaced, a welcome and long-overdue improvement for local road users. However, the data shows that we are still lagging behind other councils when it comes to following best practice and overall spend on road maintenance, which is disappointing.
What do you think of our roads here in North West Leicestershire? Let me know in the comments below!

Around 12 young people a week in the UK are dying from undiagnosed heart conditions. Many are fit, active, and have no idea anything is wrong.
We need better awareness and wider screening so these silent conditions are caught before it’s too late. Early detection can and does save lives.
I recently spoke to The Mirror about my personal experiences and the campaign pushing for wider screening. ⬇️ ... See MoreSee Less

Here is an example of a casework success in recent weeks, supporting local people and businesses.
I was contacted by a member of the public regarding manhole covers popping up in the middle of the B5324 near Belton, causing an outflow of sewage water and creating a dangerous hazard for drivers.
Following contact with Severn Trent over a number of months, I’m pleased to confirm that repairs to the sewage pumping station nearby have now been completed to prevent this from happening again. We will of course be liaising with local people to ensure this resolves the issues.
If you need support, the team and I are here to help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Really proud to have spoken in Parliament about the history of some of our towns and how they could benefit from applying to be the new UK Town of Culture!
Culture isn’t just about big cities, it’s about the everyday pride, heritage, creativity and volunteers that make our towns special. From the community spirit of our towns to their markets, history and local events, culture brings people together, boosts local pride and can help attract investment opportunities for everyone.
I'm excited to see towns across the country and locally here in North West Leicestershire put themselves forward and share their stories.
Every place has a story worth telling. 📣🎨📍 ... See MoreSee Less

With the snow thawing and temperatures dropping here’s some practical advice for driving on icy roads ❄️🚗
⏰ Before you set off
• Check the forecast for freezing temperatures, especially overnight and early morning.
• Clear all ice and snow from windows, mirrors, lights, and the roof.
• Top up screen wash with anti-freeze fluid.
🚙 While driving
• Slow down – ice drastically reduces traction.
• Increase following distance (at least 8–10 seconds behind the vehicle ahead).
• Accelerate gently to avoid wheel spin.
• Brake early and lightly; use engine braking where possible.
• Steer smoothly – avoid sudden movements.
• Use higher gears when moving off to reduce torque to the wheels.
❄️ Watch out for “black ice”
• Often invisible, especially on:
o Bridges and overpasses
o Shaded roads
o Near rivers and open countryside
• If the road looks wet but temperatures are below freezing, assume it’s icy.
🚨 If conditions are severe
• Avoid travel if possible
• Keep an emergency kit (blanket, torch, phone charger, warm clothing, food)

A number of schools are closed today due to the snow overnight, and the roads remain very hazardous.
Please be careful, and if you don't need to travel, please don't.❄️ 'I’VE NEVER KNOWN A NIGHT LIKE IT…
…And I am not looking forward to the journey home, neither’ ☃️
Whilst we are five hours late ceasing duty, Storm Goretti hasn’t stopped the NN46 Beat Team and Response colleagues from making arrests tonight. We did pass a lot of stranded/stuck vehicles (on the opposing carriageway) on the way to custody in Leicester, however. Junction 22 of the M1 was particularly bad. We only managed to return to Coalville by going via Loughborough. At the time of typing, North West Leicestershire appears to have come off worse than central Leicester and Charnwood. Unless things change rapidly in the next couple of hours, we wouldn’t advise making unnecessary journeys this morning.
Be safe.

An amber weather warning remains in place this evening. Please take extra care.The Met Office has just upgraded its weather warnings for tomorrow and Friday from yellow to amber, meaning there's now an increased chance of heavy snow across our region.
Our advice remains:
In your vehicle: drive carefully, according to conditions, or postpone your journey if it's not essential.
In your home: take care when using portable heaters and open fireplaces/log-burners, and do not leave unattended.
Out and about: steer clear of bodies of water and NEVER venture onto frozen lakes and ponds, even to attempt a rescue - call 999 in an emergency. ... See MoreSee Less
