Hot cakes?

Looks like every time I visit this site more tickets have gone, but then we do have a great line up! Whether it’s local services or local talent that’s bringing you to ConkerTU, you can rest assured that you’ll have every opportunity to rock the Forest!

Another three bands have confirmed for the Amphitheatre gig:

Lesbian Wednesday

Bonfire on the Clump

and

Cure for Callous

bringing the grand total to eleven acts. It’s fantastic to see we have so much home grown talent.

The other great news this week is the stay of execution on closing Moira Fire Station - for at least another three to five years. But the fight is by no means over, so campaigners will be sharing the next steps for keeping vital emergency services in our area.

North West Leicestershire District Councillors John and Annette Bridges joined the digital world last week, with the launch of their Building Bridges blog. Annette is in fact the Leader of North West Leicestershire District Council, making this a huge step in the right direction to unlock democracy.

On a similar note, the Leader of South Derbyshire District Council, Heather Wheeler, has been tweeting her official engagements for some time, making her every move digitally transparent too!

If The Virtual Revolution is new to you, why not catch up with the BBC2 series on iplayer? Or, if you’re unhappy with public services and don’t know where to start, try What do they Know for step by step support with a Freedom of Information request.

All this and more awaits you at ConkerTU, connecting our communities for the future, so book your free tickets now and spread the word!
