Filling in potholes isn’t just about making roads safer for everyone; it also helps prevent unnecessary and unexpected repair costs for drivers, which can often run into hundreds of pounds.

As part of a major uplift in funding for road maintenance (£144m for Leicestershire, on top of last year's £28.5m) the Department for Transport is rating local councils on how well they fill potholes and look after their roads. These ratings are based on three key areas:

🚦 Road condition: How good or bad the state of local roads is
💰 Council spending: How much councils invest in road repairs
🛠️ Best practice: Whether councils follow best practice in maintaining highways

Some of this funding was put to good use last summer in Coalville, where several roads were resurfaced, a welcome and long-overdue improvement for local road users. However, the data shows that we are still lagging behind other councils when it comes to following best practice and overall spend on road maintenance, which is disappointing.

What do you think of our roads here in North West Leicestershire? Let me know in the comments below!

Following the recent flooding on Grace Dieu Road in Whitwick, Cllr Peter Moult and I have been working hard to support local residents with immediate action while also pressing for longer-term solutions.

I'm pleased to confirm that a full road clean of the affected areas has been carried out today by North West Leicestershire District Council, building on an earlier clean completed by a Severn Trent Water road sweeper.

After writing to Severn Trent Water, the Environment Agency and Leicestershire County Council, I’m also glad to say that a meeting has been secured for early in the new year to discuss future mitigation measures. I will continue to keep local residents updated on any progress, as I have been doing throughout.

Leicestershire County Council are also scheduled to empty and cleanse the gully network before the end of next week (12th December).

As always, local residents can contact me with any questions or concerns using the details below:

Following continued action over the past 12 months on the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme, over 750 former mineworkers in North West Leicestershire will now see their pensions rise by 40%, thanks to the Labour Government’s transfer of the £2.3bn investment reserve back to scheme members.

That’s an average of £100 per week back into the pockets of those who once powered our nation.

I am so pleased that we have secured this outcome during the budget. This change will make a real difference to the lives of local people and their families. A big thank you must go to the campaigners, constituents and coalfield colleagues who have been engaged in the lobbying efforts to right this injustice.

From Coalville to Measham, Moira, and beyond, our industrial heritage has shaped the local landscape. For generations, our former miners powered this country, and it’s only right that we recognise their sacrifices.

We’re not just providing financial support; we’re also improving healthcare for respiratory illnesses through our Men’s Health Strategy. It recognises the additional care often needed in our former industrial communities, where health inequalities are higher.

I’m proud of our local industrial heritage. It touches nearly every part of North West Leicestershire, and I’m proud that our Labour Government is delivering the support our former mineworkers deserve.
