Leicester inward investment plans backed
The new leader of Leicester City Council, councillor Veejay Patel, has met with Prospect Leicestershire’s chairman Nick Carter to understand their work and plans to bring investment into the city. Councillor Patel reassured private sector partners about his support for the initiatives already approved – in particular the development of the science park centred on the National Space Centre and the housing-led regeneration around Abbey Meadows. He is also keen to see the city’s masterplan and further development of the business quarter in the area around Leicester railway station.
