Great News! England will have a World Cup song this year and a banger it is too. Written and recorded right here on the St.Matthews. It showcases local talent and  will inspire the national team to do their best. The St. Matthews England Supporters Club came together for this World Cup and recorded this song to inspire both the team and the fans. Our club is as diverse as our estate. We have a very disappointed Irishman, a Portuguese key-man (possible spy), a travelling Rasta, football mad youths, some African women, and all mixed in with the Leicester blood and very very relaxed membership policy. #LetsMakeItOfficial #officialWorldCupSongEngland #England #WorldCup2018 #ThreeLions Enjoy and share with complete abandon! Here is an iTunes link. http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1394698710?ls=1&app=itunes For those of you without Spotify or iTunes you can hear it here.

Defoliant used on entire city, £50,000 a kilo for nettles

-
Leicester City Council buys 2300 litres of Roundup (Glycosphate) defoliant every year. (Freedom of Information stat.) . As each litre is sufficient according to the label for a thousand square metres this amounts to 568.34238 acres. or 2.3 square kilometres. Abbey park is 57 acres. So does Leicester City Council defoliate an area of land 10 times the size of the citys biggest park. And in this age of maintaining carbon balance, is it legal?. It is well known fact that removing the surface organic growth decreases the amount of carbon sequestered per metre. When plants are left to grow they capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and over time build up a higher biomass (Roots in the soil, trunks, humus from falling leaves, bacteria, invertebrates and dare I say mammals and birds.) I have asked them not to spray around my house and usually they comply although we had a little accident last year. 6 years ago when they started with the spraying they sprayed nettles which I had growing i...

St Matthews green spaces being 'blitzed' out of existence by Sir Peter Soulsby and LCC

-
Today on Remembrance Day 11th November 2019, St. Matthews Estate is having almost every bush and small tree removed under a 'tidy-up blitz'. We are being subject to this 'blitz' over the next six weeks, and I dread to think how bad things will be by then.  St Matthews lies between 3 major roads and has a problem specifically identified in the LCC AQAP (Air Quality Action Plan) as having high levels of NO2 from this traffic.  This Mayor's initiative has been undertaken with no local consultation and has just been imposed on us by the same people who have been building illegal car parking (no existing planning permission for Kashmir Rd) on the estate. I wonder if there is some collusion between the contractors and the Mayors office. Spending £330,000 on 24 spaces seems to have been a way of funneling money to the Council Highways dept. (and it was only 1 of 3 car parks) Surely it cant cost over £10,000 per space to convert what was already a temporary car park in...
