Please use the contact form to get in touch with me. Please remember to provide as many details as possible, including your name, address and full details of your issue.
Today, I received notification from Leicestershire County Council that Diamond Buses intend to cancel the 129 service from Ashby to Loughborough and the 125 service from Castle Donington to Leicester (via Coalville).
I am extremely concerned about the impact of these changes, and I am in the process of seeking urgent clarity from Leicestershire County Council to understand if and how they will be replaced.
As a Government, we have provided an additional £8m for Leicestershire County Council to support bus services, and I will be working with colleagues to ensure that our communities feel every penny of this funding in the areas that need it the most. (You can find more information on this in the comments section)
I want to understand what impact this could have on you, please get in touch here: www.amandahack.com/campaigns/bus-services-129-and-125/ ... See MoreSee Less

Technically it’s not St George’s day. It’s not celebrated the same week as Easter and so is moved to Monday 28th April.
🚨New Lighting Action!🚨
Really pleased to see the new, replacement lighting being installed around Manning Avenue footpath today in Coalville.
A couple of months ago, when speaking to residents with Cllr Catherine Beck and Rebecca Pawley for Coalville North, we reported a number of broken lights on the footpath on Manning Avenue.
Today, following several conversations with Midland Heart, new street lights have been installed, replacing the bollard-style lighting that kept being knocked over!
(The bollards are being collected shortly.)
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any support!

Apparently your leader is trying to engineer a trade off between children in poverty and the disabled as a bribe to not rebel on benifit cuts. Not very Christian of you lot is it.

I wonder what Jesus would say about choosing to plunge 250,000+ disabled people into poverty rather than making billionaires pay tax 🤔
I thought the PM was an atheist? Checks Thickypedia 🤔 who say he's an athiest that believes in faith. About as clear as him defining a woman, as well as him saying pretty much anything to get elected as party leader and PM.
While I think the 'beginning to end' One 'in whom we live and move and have our being' needs every living person's attention, any politician posting messages for the main religions 'on the calendar' is looking for votes and never to be trusted. Keir and Amanda. Do you believe in Jesus who claimed to be and evidence(d)(s) Man and God?
