I’ve made use of the Trolleywise web site today to report an abandoned Sainsbury’s shopping trolley in Oadby St. Peter’s. It’s an established, easy to use, free app and web site that arranges for lost trolleys to get back to where they belong. Please use this service if you see an abandoned shopping trolley. The app can be found by searching in the app store for your device.
I’ve also seen some full litter bins so have reported them to the council. If you see a full bin, please do let the council know by emailing their Customer Services team on csc@oadby-wigston.gov.uk. If you copy me in at cllr.ian.ridley@oadby-wigston.gov.uk , it would help me to monitor if there are any issues with particular bins.

All 7 Liberal Democrat Borough Councillors in Oadby have signed this letter going out residents potentially affected by the Washbrook Lane artificial pitch planning appeal:
We just wanted to express our full support for the opposition by residents and park users to the above planning appeal.
We are making submissions to the Planning Inspectorate to oppose this development going forward.
Oadby and Wigston Borough Council refused the original application last year due to its harm on the environment (the site is part of the “green wedge” between Oadby and Wigston in the council’s Local Plan), increased risk of flooding and severe impact on neighbouring properties.
It is also likely that the scheme will create extra traffic using the already congested Wigston/ Brabazon junction and also affect the neighbouring Lucas Marsh Nature Reserve.
You can make a representation by 29th May 2024 by visiting the case page on the Planning Inspectorate’s web site here bit.ly/washbrook
Residents and park users have formed a group to oppose this development. If you wish to get involved please contact us via email or phone and we will pass your details on so you can make contact.
Yours faithfully,
Cllr. Jeffrey Kaufman & Cllr. Latif Darr (Oadby Brocks Hill)
Cllr. Dr. Ian Ridley & Cllr. Jasvir Chohan (Oadby St. Peter’s)
Cllr. Samia Haq (Oadby Uplands)
Cllr. Dean Gamble & Santokh Athwal (Oadby Woodlands)
