Transition support for young people
Until a young person is 18 years old they can receive health and social care support from children’s services. Once someone turns 18 the law says they are an adult. When someone is an adult they can no longer receive children’s health and social care services and so have to get services for adults instead (though in some cases there are some specific exceptions which mean young people can get certain children’s services until they are 25). The eligibility criteria for whether... MoreOpened 12 November 2018 -
Harrison Road Parking
You may have heard about or taken part in the 2016 council survey asking for views about pavement parking in the residential area between Harrison Road and Melton Road. There was a very good response to the survey, so thank you to all those who took part. The response from residents was overwhelmingly in favour of some form of Controlled Pavement Parking (CPP) in the area. The council would now like to offer residents an opportunity to have their say on the council’s CPP proposals and... MoreOpened 1 November 2018 -
Independent Living Support (ILS) Supported Housing Service
Leicester City Council funds a support service for non-local authority tenants who live in supported housing. These services are for people who fall below the threshold for statutory support. However, these days the council has to spend a lot more money on people who do meet the threshold for care and support. They need help with things like washing, dressing and eating, and staying safe. This is costing more now because there are more older people in the city, more people who need a lot... MoreOpened 15 October 2018 -
Parks Byelaws
When using our parks, it is important that Park Byelaws are followed to ensure they remain safe and clean for everyone to enjoy.

Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium
We are consulting on proposed modifications to Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium as part of an £85,000 investment in the facility. The core proposal is to convert the centre of the stadium so it can be used as a multi-sports site, accommodating additional sports such as football, rugby or American football. In order to accommodate this, some existing athletic facilities would be relocated to other parts of the stadium. Saffron Lane is primarily an athletics track, and athletics events...

Council tax empty homes premium
There are about 350 empty homes in Leicester. Leicester City Council wants to bring empty homes back into use and for many years has worked with homeowners to help them achieve this. Long term empty properties are those which have been empty for at least two years. The government is expected to grant councils new powers to increase council tax on homes that have been empty for a long period of time. Properties empty for less than two years are unaffected by the proposals in the... MoreOpened 17 September 2018 -

Fosse Arts studio survey
Fosse Arts is a service valued by many in Leicester. However, the building itself is old, access and parking are limited, and the electrics and specialist pottery facilities in particular require significant investment. Relocating the arts provision, the artists’ studio spaces and the adult learning service classes to another refurbished building may be a wiser investment and provide much better facilities. The new site we are considering is the former Muddy Boots Nursery on Bishopdale... MoreOpened 26 June 2018 -
