North West Leicestershire Defib Dash!
I’m really excited to launch the North West Leicestershire Defib Dash which will take place between 17th and 23rd November. This is a community audit of our local defib network. All you need to do is find your nearest publicly accessible defibrillator and ‘Dash’ to it (you could walk, run or cycle, just don’t use your car!), timing your journey.
Why? Every minute without CPR or Defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10% so it’s vital to raise awareness of where your nearest lifesaving defib is and where our deserts of coverage are. It will also allow us to ensure The Circuit, the national register of defibs, is accurate and up to date. (www.defibfinder.uk/)
You can register for a free campaign pack now ahead of the Defib Dash Week of Action and secure your place at our launch event on Saturday 15th November. (Details to follow to those who register).
Got questions? have a read through the FAQs online, or get in touch with my office.

🚷 Ashby Footpath O89 Update!🚶♀️
I am really pleased to say that we have now received confirmation from Leicestershire County Council that Footpath O89, which runs from the new Money Hill Car Park to the top of North Street, should be open for use from Tuesday 9th December.
A big thank you to the Town Council working group, made up of the Ashby Footpath Group, local councillors, and my office, who have been pushing to avoid any unnecessary extension of the closure. (Not all are pictured)
I have requested confirmation from LCC to determine whether the re-opening will be the upgraded path that has been discussed or the path as it is now. Once I have confirmation of this, I will of course, share this with the Town Council and local community. ... See MoreSee Less

Two in five UK adults admit they wouldn’t know how to perform CPR.
That’s two in five people who might not feel confident to act when it really matters.
By learning the skills to save a life, you could make a real difference.
Let’s make sure everyone feels confident and ready to act when every second counts.

It was lovely to meet Kath and wish her a Happy 103rd Birthday recently at Silver Oaks Care Home in Whitwick.
Kath was born and raised in Whitwick and it was lovely to sit and listen to the story of her travels with her husband during World War 2 as part of the WAAF whilst he was in the RAF.

Griffydam Junction Update
Good news! The County Council have advised me that, following consultation with Leicestershire Police, they will be changing the junction of Top Road and Rempstone Road to a Stop Junction. Whilst they have not yet provided a timescale for these changes, I’ll keep pushing for this to be completed as soon as possible.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on their experiences of this junction through my survey earlier in the year. Having received nearly 100 responses, I used this local knowledge as part of my correspondence with the County Council. The change has come about because of this community effort.
The County Council will also be conducting further speed surveys soon and will provide me an update on this once completed.
I am also still chasing an update on the Crossing Assessment that took place outside Griffydam Primary School earlier this month and will provide an update to the community once I have one. ... See MoreSee Less
