When you've been around local politics for a little while you get to learn nothing gets residents angrier than a windy day when the recycling is due to be picked up.

Three weeks until polling day.

Last week the Coalville Times printed an article about Labour's local election manifesto launch.

Our Deputy Chairman, Leon Spence, writes to the Editor.

Dear Sir

North West Leicestershire Labour Election Manifesto

Our plan for Coalville: simple, deliverable and with you in mind.

Tell us what you think at nwl30.co.uk

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.

We're proud to announce that if we are fortunate to win your trust this May our Conservative administration at North West Leicestershire District Council will deliver a brand new multi-screen cinema to Coalville.

Do you care passionately about North West Leicestershire?

Do you spend hours volunteering in your community or with a local charity?

Would you like to make a real difference to the future of our wonderful district?

A new indoor market and events space will be created in a former Coalville pub, thanks to investment by Conservative controlled North West Leicestershire District Council.
