England will have a World Cup song in 2018

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...

Contact Project to close on the St Matthews?

-
It is with great sadness that I hear the Contact Project is closing here on the St Matthews. Leicester City Council takes £6 million off of this estate annually in rent and Council Tax. The average spend on property maintenance is less the £50 per unit. 2500 x 50 = £1.25 million. Our tenants association have been useless, preferring to cut down trees and build polluting car parks instead. I presume the cost of the car parks, which by the way don't appear to have any planning permission, was astronomical. Obviously we should have spent the money on keeping the Contact Project going instead. On a personal note my son has and is using the Contact Project weekly and it has helped him greatly to develop as a young man. It really is time to see where the money goes. The figures the Council produces are aggregated for the whole of the city, a technique which hides the spending instead of shedding light on it. Hey LCC! we all have computers, and spreadsheets, and can handle looking...
