Leicestershire County Council are setting up a web of IT minded individuals who are volunteering some of their time to help others on a PC or on the web.
We have had a really good turnout for other areas of Leicestershire, as you can see in the picture, but still need volunteers in and around the Melton district.
As your reward for helping others, you get a free course with the Leicestershire Adult Learning, the use of the latest IT equipment, free training and the other benefits that come from volunteering your time. Full details of what we are doing can be found at www.learningleicestershire.org.uk. More »
Please contact me if you are interested as training is due to take place next week.

- Make/model and colour of vehicle
- Home address of driver
- Date of Birth or Age of Driver
- Any regular journeys they make – to work, etc – and times of journeys.
Please help the Roads Policing Unit to keep Leicestershire’s roads safe for all our sakes. « Less
