Local Issues in the Constituency
Welcome to my responses to questions about local issues affecting the Loughborough constituency.
As many 'local issues' are really the decisions of the local authorities - Charnwood and Leicestershire CC - I may have a personal view but do not have control over the outcome! In particular I cannot get involved in local Planning matters. Therefore, I concentrate here on the issues where I can have some impact locally. I recognise that some of these entries have become a little out of date - so I will try and update as many as possible in the near future.
