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.

Parking on St Matthews,Leicester - a few thoughts

-

Parking on St. Matthews has become the major driver behind the currant degradation of the built environment here on this inner city estate surrounded on three sides by major roads. Over half of the people on this estate are under 20 and are most at risk from the resultant pollution. On any given night there are nearly a 100 empty car park spaces available on the St Matthews ( near Bargain Booze) so why do we need more car parking? The SMTA (St.Matthews Tenants Association) is the driving force behind this constant growth in hard surface tarmac and the chopping down of the few trees and green spaces we have on the estate. They have probably spent £400,000 in the last 3 years rolling out a vision of 'Living in a Car Park' where we are providing unregulated parking for people visiting town and our children breathe in their fumes. By the way, according to the Leicester City Council website none of these car parks have planning permission. They claim widespread support for c...

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...
