Cash for estate projects approved
More than £5,000 is to be spent on projects on an estate.
Eyres Monsell ward city councillors Virginia Cleaver and Rory Palmer have agreed grants for a total of £5,765 to spend on the area.
They include £480 for a free running project and £285 for mosaics to be made by children.
The rest of the money will be used to pay for dropped kerbs to help tackle parking problems across the estate.

The cash will allow people to park in their front yards instead of on grass verges.
Councillor Palmer said: "The estate was built before most households owned a car.
"This investment will help residents in meeting the costs of dropped kerbs outside their homes."

“Nice to see pot hole palmer has found where Eyres Monsell is,some one must have given him directions.Good to see some money going to the estate.For a year or so,in times gone bye,my parents had the only car in Spendlow Gardens and we could walk aroud the corner to the lovely shops ans in weather like this,sledge down S****ee Road.How times change !
Anyway,I digress.
20 months ago pothole palmer said that one of his priorities was to fix the pot holes in the City.Now I do not think he meant fixing each one personally but from what I can see the progress would have been quicker if he had done so !The next tosh will be something like"Due to the recent bad weather we have been unable to make progress with pot hole repairs.But do not worry,the ones that have been there for a long time will now be worse and more visible and noticeable."”
