This week is #NationalTreeWeek and a great opportunity to appreciate some of the many trees throughout the parks in #Leicester. More trees every year in Leicester - a very proud record!
National Tree Week starts today - the perfect excuse for some tree-spotting in #Leicester! If you're heading for Western Park, look out for Old Major - the ancient oak that's more than 450 years old. Get the Western Park tree trail here and find out more: https://t.co/FXEFQScUi8

A pleasure to open the new Hillview Children's Home in #Leicester, looking forward to seeing the great work they will do. Thanks to all - particular mention for @Sarah_Westcotes
The council’s first purpose-built children’s home to be constructed for 40+ years has opened its doors, and will accommodate five young people aged 7-17. #Leicester City Council worked with Loughborough-based Scope Construction on the project. https://t.co/5zlsO2Tmxr
