What a total waste of Tax Payers money!!! @Leicester_News plans to install a bus lane for 0.2 miles (approx 322 meters) for the sake of using government funding - destroying several mature trees, which have been a feature of Anstey Lane for many years. #SaveLeicesterTrees
We’re planning major improvements to part of #Leicester’s busy Anstey Lane as part of an £80m citywide programme of investment in sustainable transport, backed by £40million from the Department for Transport’s #TransformingCitiesFund.

@Leicester_News the trees and woodland team have time to cut logs for an individual member of the public or one of their mates, despite claiming limited resources. Instead of focusing on the clear up job of a fallen tree on Anstey lane they are wasting tax payers money!

@BootsUK you need to sort out your flu jab booking system. It’s no good taking payment from people and then cancelling one hour before due to running out of vaccines! And yet you are still offering appointment slots. Your staff could also do with some customer service training!
Financial mismanagement under Labour run Nottingham city council resulting in hundreds of potential job losses and significant cuts to public services. Wont be surprised if Leicester city council has the same fate. Labour proving they’re not fit to govern. #bankruptCouncils
@Leicester_News I think the council are over estimating the number of users on the free bus. How are you counting passenger numbers? The council should focus on more pressing issues like cost of living, health and well being, green spaces, and local economy.
@Leicester_News are installing a bus lane for 322 metres which will destroy several mature trees on Anstey lane. Another example of @CityMayorLeic actions to cut down as many trees as he can - contradicting the councils climate emergency strategy and decarbonisation agenda.
@transportgovuk please can you investigate @Leicester_News transport department as they are failing to consult with residents about works in the city and continue to impose the personal agenda of the @CityMayorLeic on city residents. #autocraticcouncil
@AldiUK every time I shop at Aldi, the store assistants seem to always put through items twice. Is this a clever ploy to boost your profits at the customers expense.
@CityMayorLeic Leicester city was awarded over £1 million as part of the government’s transforming cities fund which was spent widening the cycle path on Anstey lane which very few cyclists use. Couldn’t this money have been used for public transport instead?
@CityMayorLeic I frequently see cars and vans parked on the wide pavements in city centre for deliveries etc. which means I have to walk on the road or cross over to the other side. Surely that’s not acceptable either?
@CityMayorLeic I don’t think the bus lane on A50 is justified as the bus lane doesn’t continue down frog island so buses get stuck in traffic regardless. Traffic congestion on A50 has increased ten fold since the bus lane has been in operation.
@CityMayorLeic The perpetual roadworks in the city exacerbate match day traffic - as a Leicester city resident I think you have to just accept it. The city mayor is not going to do anything about this issue.
@CityMayorLeic As it’s international women’s day how will you ensure women’s safety in the city centre and on public transport, and safe routes for women? There are lots of unsavoury characters in the city centre day and night. #CityMayorQT
@CityMayorLeic why have street parking charges increased which is further contributing to the decline of the city centre. People can get free parking at fosse park. #CityMayorQT
@CityMayorLeic you don’t really answer any of the questions properly so I don’t see the point in having this Q&A. Its time we get rid of the role of city mayor especially as it was created undemocratically. #CityMayorQT
@CityMayorLeic Will Leicester city council join the climate and nature pact launched by county council to accelerate Leicestershire to net zero by 2045? #CityMayorQT
