We were delighted to be back together again after a long Christmas break. Lots of news to catch up on and plans for the coming year to share. Our first guest speaker of the year was Steve Lovell of ‘Steve Lovell Green Spaces’ in Lincoln, a specialist in wildlife garden design, who spoke about ‘water in the garden’. He guided us through the role of water features, their uses and benefits for domestic gardens. Lots of useful ideas were given and his talk was very much enjoyed by our members.

We look forward next month to our annual A.G.M which is always kept very brief as we will also have Rod Weston joining us. He is a master composter and will be passing on valuable tips to make the best homemade compost this year, just in time for the start of a busy growing season. There is a lot to be getting on with in the garden now as the days will hopefully be getting warmer and longer so if you fancy meeting with other garden enthusiasts and perhaps learning something new then please do check us out.

Improvement works to begin at Groby Road/ Fosse Road junction

A MAJOR programme of improvements to one of Leicester’s ‘most confusing’ junctions and its connecting roads will began in January.

Leicester City Council is planning a major redevelopment of the A50/ FiveWays junction, in northwest Leicester, to help make it safer for all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians, and improve the busy route for buses.

As part of the project, the council will completely redesign and overhaul the busy FiveWays junction which links Blackbird Road, Woodgate, Fosse Road North, Groby Road and Buckminster Road.

Work will be carried out in phases to help minimise disruption, and the overall project is expected to be complete by spring 2024.
