The petition which I set up, alongside neighbouring MPs, Alicia Kearns and Peter Bedford, has reached over 7,000 signatures. The City Mayor in Leicester has plans to take over areas such as Oadby & Wigston and Great Glen, as well as other parts of the county.
It is as important as ever to keep up the pressure to stop this happening, so if you know anyone who hasn’t signed, please get them to do so. The County Council under the Conservatives were planning to submit plans to the Government which would see Leicester’s boundaries staying as they are. Since the elections last week, the Council is now being run by Reform councillors. At the moment we have no idea what they have planned, so we need to keep growing the petition to ensure that they know that we do not want the city expanding into our area.
