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. We're Going to Russia in 2018 Come on England by St. Matthews England Support...

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...

Failure of St Matthews tenants association to achieve a cleaner, greener St Matthews

The first question I have is about planning permissions. Let me illustrate. This sign needed planning permission. This carpark didn't. Which one had the biggest effect on local people and their built environment? The same road had two other car parks built on it that also had no planning permission. Check planning applications for Manitoba Rd, St Matthews  here  . These car parks were paid for with money made available to the local tenants association to meet the most pressing demands of their constituency and to improve life on the estate. Remember over half of the population on the estate are children who have no say in the shaping of the environment they are to grow up in.  Let me remind you  Manitoba Rd in 2008 and 2016  It doesn't take a genius to work out which is the best for children, a few trees or a carpark! I will be asking Ms Jean Williams, the Chair of St Matthews Tenants Association how she can justify...
