Local issues
Some of the issues I have dealt with since being elected are:- winning school appeals for the children from Eastern European families, looking at the local crime and disorder issues, improving the traffic problems, petrolling my ward on a weekly basis and listening to the voice of the people. I always work closely with Councillor Wann and The Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt MP. Please feel free to browse the useful links section on some of the things I have done and achieved locally and nationally including:- Meeting the Prime Minister The Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP at the Brite Centre in Leicester with Cllr Wann and The Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt MP, celebrating Christmas with the Maya Group where we cooked a vegetable curry with rice to raise funds for The Lord Mayor's Charity appeal Rainbow, going for a patchwalk with the Leader of the council Councillor Ross Willmott, meeting His Royal Highness Prince Charles during his visit to the Leicester Council of Faiths, welcoming the Deputy Prime Minister The Rt Hon Harriet Harman MP with Cllr Wann during her visit to the Fosse Ward, meeting Cherie Blair during the Asian Women of Achievement Awards in London, meeting The Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP, The Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP, Cllr Clair and Cllr Joshi at the launch of the Ethnic Minority Taskforce, helping to achieve a successful Academy in London and my meeting with Cllr Hall on the local post office closure. I am very proud of my ward, the councillors that serve the city, our local MPs Patricia Hewitt, Keith Vaz and Sir Peter Soulsby and I am proud to live in the the city of Leicester. Please feel free to come and talk to me.
Yours
Cllr Manish Sood
