Draft Local Plan We are pro growth and see the opportunity to build decent local housing with environmental protection, which the present-day teenagers might like to live in nearby.

Full statement

Labour's Plan for Change will improve living standards and make work pay.

We have already: * Boosted the pay packets of 3.5 million workers with the biggest ever cash boost to the National Minimum and National Living wage. * Protected the payslips of working people and invested in public services.

Labour’s new legislation will also: * Make work secure by cracking down on fire and rehire and ending exploitative zero-hour contracts.

* Make work family-friendly with employment rights from day one, including parental leave, strengthened pregnancy rights and protection from unfair dismissal.

Fixing the foundations for Leicestershire’s future, in Glen and Harborough

We know people are expecting the Labour government to turn the country around as quick as we can.

But after 14 years of a Conservative government our country is in a complete mess. Nothing works, our towns need investment, our rural communities need support, everything is getting more and more expensive.

The Labour government has rolled up its sleeves and started fixing the essentials with our Plan for Change. We have ended the doctors strikes and invested to fix our NHS. We’ve set up a border security force to finally secure our borders and sent back over 10,000 illegal migrants. And we’ve given millions of low paid workers a payrise. There is no easy fix to the mess left behind by the Conservatives. We have still got so much to do.

We deserve better than more years of Conservative failure.

Labour are the only party that can deliver the change we need. We’ll partner with the new Labour government, and Leicestershire’s Labour MPs, to get the best deal.

Now, our priority is fixing the foundations. We’ll make sure Glen is not left out or left behind. Labour will deliver a fresh start.
