Whetstone Tip will now be free rather than charging for whatever they can. Every cloud.

It's free now for domestic use.

Not for tiny bits of plasterboard or rubble.

Will that continue though? More likely such costs will be rolled-out across the new 'city'.

My prediction is that for the average current county household in the affected area, the negatives will outweigh pluses.

Then there are the consequences of more green spaces being grabbed for city development. 

Unfortunate times.

I have seen nothing in the plans that actually improve the city except grabbing council tax.

 

Housing is still being pushed into 'the county' as it was so little private investment will go the city centre.

 

Fair play to the city council though. They have left out Glenfield Hospital (costs money) and drawn boundaries around every expensive housing area and business park (gains money) without being tested at all by central government.

Labour are hated out in the sticks anyway. This and their Farm tax have just taken it to another level 😂

Slightly different on the BBC. Glenfield Hospital has been included. Willoughby Waterleys and more land around Great Glen grabbed.

 

I wonder what government employee lives just to the east of South Croxton and was due to be moved in Leicester City and now isn't?

Freemans Common wouldn't let me take a bag of rubble last week & they used to be fine with it.

Having Fosse Park and Town under the same council is a good thing and the one positive from this I think

 

Means you shouldn’t see one expanding at the expense of the other any more

Nice idea except the City council don't know how to make the town centre better. Maybe they could both fail together?

M&S replaced by the world's biggest indoor bike lane and we'll get a fresh, new and innovative Fosse Park Box Park in 2034

Is this Soulsby's swansong/legacy; a land grab?!!

Tbf the expanded Fosse Park is genuinely well done. One of the best things that's been done in Leicestershire the past decade.

It wouldn’t exist if the city got their way and would certainly be smaller.
