New figures show that the number of people in work is at a record high and wages are growing at their fastest rate in over a decade.

Thanks to our investment of £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24 the plan will transform patient care and make sure every penny of taxpayers’ money is spent wisely.

Something that caught my eye in this week’s education sector news was the results from a London academy school.

It's vital for future generations that we leave our world in a better state than we found it.

That's why, if you lend us your vote, we're pledging to be a zero carbon council within the next 4 years.

At North West Leicestershire District Council our Conservative administration are proud to have frozen your council tax for the past 9 years.

If you place your trust in us at this year's local elections we will continue to freeze your council tax for the next 4 years.
