We Asked, You Said, We Did

Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes

We asked

We sought views on the proposed removal of a semi‑mature lime tree on St Saviours Road. The tree has been identified as the cause of ongoing damage to a nearby property.

You said

We received one response to the online consultation. The respondent did not express a view either in favour of or against the proposed removal.

We did

We have reviewed the feedback alongside the technical evidence. As the tree has been directly linked to continuing property damage, it is classed as an actionable nuisance in law. In these circumstances, there is no reasonable alternative to removal.

The decision is consistent with the council’s tree strategy and policy and a replacement tree will be planted in an alternative location.

We asked

We consulted on our proposal to introduce a new, optional-to-pay ‘care arrangement fee’ to cover the council’s administration costs when arranging care for people that:

  1. Have savings and/or assets above £23,250.00 and,
  2. ask Leicester City Council to arrange their home-based care for them.

We asked people that could be affected by this change how paying the care arrangement fee would affect them and provided an opportunity to share feedback on this proposal.

You said

We received a total 75 responses on our proposal, with an additional 17 calls and/or emails made to the consulting team.

Nearly half of respondents (45%) shared that they would be able to manage paying the care arrangement fee if they were asked to.

18% of respondents shared that paying the fee would affect them a little – limiting money for extras or treats.

Additional feedback, when provided by respondents, focused on concerns with affording to pay the fee, and the value/ preference of paying the fee on an ongoing, annual basis (originally proposed).

We did

All feedback shared by respondents via survey, email, and telephone call have been considered – with the proposal and findings from our consultation exercise scrutinised by the City Mayor, his Executive Team, and the Adult Social Care Scrutiny Commission.

We will progress with implementing the care arrangement fee, and this will be introduced from April 2026 at £165.47.

We have carefully considered feedback shared on the affordability and value of paying this fee. The fee amount will still be optional to pay and will now only apply at the point when a person that pays the full cost of their care asks the council to arrange it for them – this is instead of an annual fee.

We feel as though this change addresses the concerns raised in this exercise. 

We recognise that people may not wish to pay the fee. To support people to make informed decisions about arranging their care, new information, advice, and guidance will also be made available. 

Thank you for sharing your views on this proposal. 

We asked

We consulted on our proposal to extend existing Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) for three elements of dog control in the city:

  1. Dog fouling
  2. Dogs on leads
  3. Dog exclusion areas

We asked the public and stakeholders if they had any objections to the proposal and provided an opportunity to leave feedback.

You said

336 responses were submitted. Nearly 99% of respondents were members of the public.

In summary, the responses were highly in support of extending all three PSPOs, as follows:

  1. Dog fouling - 93% in favour
  2. Dogs on leads - 84% in favour
  3. Dog exclusion areas - 84% in favour

Additional supportive stakeholder feedback was also received outside of this online process.

We did

All comments have been scrutinised and noted.

The evidence from reports and complaints to our customer services team, and enforcement action taken since the PSPO orders were introduced is in support of them being extended.

We now intend to seek approval from the city mayor to extend the PSPO orders for a further three years. Subject to this approval, notices will be posted in November 2025 confirming reintroduction, and we will publish the renewed orders on our website.
