Crisis Response, Roads & Football Prices
Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.
As we get older, we all become a little less steady on our feet and other health issues might mean we need some help at home every now and then. But that shouldn't mean immediately being rushed into hospital, if you have a problem like a fall. The reality of more and more of us living at home for longer has created the need for a new layer of health-care provision. Now, in the city, the Leicester Integrated Crisis Response Service exists to meet that need. Since its creation last year, it's helped nearly 4 thousand older people rebuild their confidence and return to independent living following a fall or a period in hospital.
Also, traders in Leicester say they're being forced out of business by Leicester City Council's continued interference with the roads. It comes as the authority unveils new plans to improve footpaths, and introduce a new cycleway on two busy streets. A stretch of Welford Road and the adjoining Belvoir Street are to have their pavements widened and a contra-flow cycle lane installed.
And, Leicester is the cheapest place in the country to watch the Premier League, according to a new report out today. You can buy a single match-day ticket at the King Power stadium for 拢22. By comparison, at the other end of the scale, the cheapest single ticket at Chelsea will set you back 拢52. The 麻豆社 Sport Price of Football study also looked at the cost of season tickets in the Premier League - the cheapest at the King Power will set you back 拢365, but how does that compare with other clubs?
