Engagement 2026
Closed consultations and engagements.
Big travel survey
Date: 4 November 2025 to 11 January 2026.
We asked
We asked how you get around in your everyday lives - how you take your journeys, whether you drive, walk, wheel, cycle, use public transport, or rely on lifts from others.
This will help us:
- Learn how, why, when and where people travel across Leicestershire
- Understand what makes travel easier or more difficult
- Identify barriers that prevent people from accessing essential services like healthcare, education, shops and leisure activities, as well as work places
We wanted to learn about any challenges you face; such as access to services, and work places.
What happens next
Your feedback will help us shape future plans that support more inclusive travel across Leicestershire.
School Places Strategy
Date: 20 November to 4 January 2026
We asked
You can help shape the future of education in Leicestershire by sharing your views on our strategy to ensure a suitable number of high quality school places are available in the right place, at the right time.
With new housing developments leading to rising pupil numbers in some areas and more families choosing county schools, we’re asking for feedback on our updated School Places Strategy for 2026 - 2031.
Key proposals include
- Building new primary and secondary schools in areas of large housing growth across Leicestershire.
- Improving access to special educational needs (SEN) provision through new and expanded provisions.
- Expanding existing schools where needed to meet local need.
- Reorganising schools where this is needed to ensure sustainable schools which serve their local communities for the future.
- Working closely with Local Authority maintained schools and academy trusts to deliver high-quality provision in the right place and at the right time.
- Using data and forecasts to strategically plan school places and ensure every child has access to a good school
What happens next
Your responses have been very much appreciated and we'll take your views on board to help us shape the final strategy.
