(l-r) Councilor Sarah Dickinson, Morag Stern and Naveed Alam with the new equipment in Uplands Park

The official opening of the latest phase of the improvements for Uplands park took place on Monday 14^th February when residents were invited to have a go on the new outdoor gym equipment.

The event, which was kept very informal, was initiated with a short speech from the Mayor, and included  advice and information being given by the Council’s Physical Development Officers.  Now is your turn to give it a go!

Morag Stern said, “I am delighted Grange Ward residents have such a wonderful, totally free, facility on our doorstep.  This is a very positive step in encouraging fitness for our residents.”

The walk-in Medical Centre in Oadby town centre recently celebrated a milestone after treating over 10,000 patients since opening its doors in March 2010. Your local Liberal Democrats campaigned for the centre and would now like to see the centre host a minor injuries clinic to relive some of the pressure on emergency services offered in Leicester.

A survey of  over 300 patients using the Walk-in Centre shows that overall satisfaction with the service exceeds 97%. There are 12,000 patients registered at the surgery taking advantage of the 8-to-8 service.
