Nick Rushton resigns.

Nick Rushton, the Leader of Leicestershire County Council, and our Ward Councillor has dramatically resigned from his seat on the Board of the Freeport in protest at the last-minute adoption of the land to the east of our village in the Freeport’s plans.

This is a significant move and reflects the growing belief that this was an undemocratic move by the Freeport and Segro and that other land should be identified, preferably brownfield sites.

The BBC, and Tony Roe in particular, continue to provide great coverage of our campaign.
