PSPOs are intended to deal with nuisances or problems in an area that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life. The order imposes conditions on the use of the area. The local authority has received complaints and heard concerns about people's experiences of anti-social behaviour and nuisance whilst being in Leicester city centre. The behaviour complained of is having a detrimental effect on the quality of life. It is proposed that in the designated area Police Officers and Local Authority Officers will have the power to take enforcement action for nuisance and detrimental behaviour associated with street drinking, begging, amplification systems, charity or commercial subscription collections, bikes, e bikes and scooters and temporary structures. Failure to comply with the terms of a PSPO may result in an individual being issued with a fixed penalty notice (FPN). In the event of the FPN not being paid, it is the Council’s policy to prosecute. Breach of a PSPO is a criminal offence. The draft PSPO document is available to download below. Why your views matter We are keen to receive your views on the proposed introduction of this new PSPO.

Story of Leicester It's a busy day along Churchgate here in November 1988. What brings back memories for you in this photo? Do you remember shopping at places like Mays Electrical, or The Good Earth? #ThrowbackThursday

Especially when the new owners sold off all their surplus land reaping in big profits for no effort. Then they've barely invested because they are monopolies for the areas they cover. Absolutely criminal both in selling and ownership.

What was the roof box for?

Ruud seems to want him to play in a deeper role probably to support our none existence midfield defence. But it doesn't look like his natural game and tempts him into dribbling the ball forward when he should probably pass he needs to be played further forward so he can get in the box more as he did in his early appearances.

Comments Steve Dane The photo is post war, and mid 1950's at the latest. The bus is fitted wit a semaphore direction indicator rather than a flashing indicator. The latter became legal in 1953. The car immediately behind is an Armstrong Siddeley Whitley, a model introduced in 1946. John Arnold Diane Withers Wallis Newell The bus built 1949. By 1956 the front destination number was moved to the other side. This pic taken early 1950's as the General Managers name on the bus side is John Cooper who took up the post in 1950. Terry Jones That would be Ted Bailey from Glen Parva...He was a child entertainer...I think he lived on Hillsborough Rd...What a great character Ted was....Here he is on Gallowtree Gate about 1956...

Ruud really does like him. “When you strengthen the team, your chances will improve, there’s no doubt about that,” the Leicester boss said, reflecting on the January transfer window. “But the means were not there to do so. It wasn’t possible. Also the loans were blocked because we have two players. The disappointment is that two loans are not having the minutes so they’re not strengthening the team. We looked at foreign loans.”

The card was posted from Leicester to a farm at the village of Everingham near York in October 1953. Kemp’s the jewellers, with the clock above the entrance, can be seen on the corner. To the right, after the tobacconist’s shop, is the Pelican pub which closed in 1968. The building was afterwards converted into a shop and still stands. On the far right, the Robin Hood Inn can be seen, with a painted sign on the side, at the top of the building. The Robin Hood closed down in 1958 and the building was demolished around the late 1980s. See less

Maybe we should become more like I perceive Switzerland to be and stop trying to police the world which we can't afford. Become neutral and concentrate on our positives science, tourism, finance, 'going green', democracy (?) etc. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why we can't but I just think other countries have overtaken us in their ability to impact physically on world events, we're fast becoming nobodies. Fire away, I can take it but be kind.

https://www.leicestercity.news/opinion/ruud-van-nistelrooys-stance-on-leicester-city-future-may-have-just-become-clear-amid-his-vital-claim/ The view that Ruud’s stint at the King Power could be a short one is shared by many, with Leicester fans tipping Van Nistelrooy to walk out after their harrowing 4-0 defeat at the hands of Everton this past weekend. While the manager has flaws, it’s obvious to most that the way the club has been run over the last several years is the main reason behind their woes. However, recent comments made by the 48-year-old may have shed some light on how he is feeling about remaining in the Midlands. As per Leicestershire Live, he recently discussed plans for Jake Evans and Jeremy Monga and when doing so, his language was very interesting. When explaining plans for the academy duo, Van Nistelrooy spoke of the 2025/26 pre-season and how ‘we’ will plan it. He said: “They are on a weekly basis part of first-team training and will continue to do so over the coming months. They will be part of next year’s set-up in terms of how we plan a pre-season.” The use of the word ‘we’ does hint that, right now, he has no plans to leave and is already focused on preparing for the next campaign. He could have said ‘Leicester’ or ‘the club’ when making the comment but chose to include himself. Perhaps it’s something that shouldn’t be read into too much, but it may give fans hope that he’s not planning to walk out despite the dire January window. Sounds like in his mind he'll be here and planning for the Championship. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-press-conference-live-9923231 Did something change about what was possible in window? “The conversations in November were clear. You enter a process together and everything is presented to you. The idea was that there were certain possibilities, but when the numbers came on the table, it turned out to be different and we had to reassess and see what we could do in that framework.” Disappointed about transfers? “It’s not a question of being disappointed. It’s a question of reality and where the club stands. We had to deal with the restrictions. We needed to impact the team with impact players and we weren’t able to get them because of the balance of opportunity and restriction. We tried. The focus was on impact players. With Coulibaly, we did it, but other opportunities weren’t possible.” Seems very defensive of the club re the transfer state.

There used to be a set of goal posts just inside the park off Brighton Avenue

Mostly The Clarendon near where I was living with my brother and The Royal Oak(now a Sainsburys Supermarket in Wigston Fields near Knighton Park where we used to go to re-enact the goals from the game as they had goal posts there.
