Neighbourhood Health Programme in Leicestershire is next item. Workshop due soon on how to develop the 'neighbourhood model of care.' Chair asks whether this can be co-located with other services to save money. Told yes, it's an important ambition with plenty of benefits

Community Resilience Strategy next. Interesting that work e.g. between Red Cross and some parish councils has already started to help communities better support themselves more immediately following an emergency

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment and Adults & Communities Strategy progress noted.

The catering team at County Hall, by the way, are stealth experts at setting up tea & coffee in a live meeting room☕️🥷

Narborough Rd outbound closed at Upperton Road in Leicester after fire in nearby Stuart St., Westcotes area

Just to let you know... I've gone quiet here as I'm in the process of leaving my BBC role. It's been an amazing time and who knows, I might return - again - to the BBC at some point. I'll let you know who my shiny new replacement is as soon as I know! Thank you

Looking forward to seeing my successor BBC Leicester at the Political Reporter desk! A lot going on by the looks of things…

Meanwhile I’ve moved to IISS News “Facts. Analysis. Influence.” And an incredible team of people behind it

And this is an interesting time to join, as the Prague Defence Summit 2025 is held #IISSPDS25
