NEW LEGAL ADVICE SERVICE FOR LEICESTERSHIRE
The Community Law Service (Leicester & County) is the new name for Leicester Money Advice and we have just started a new service across Leicestershire that will deliver legal advice services across five areas of law including Family and Matrimonial, Housing, Employment, Welfare Benefits and Debt.
We are delivering these services at venues across the county including Loughborough (New Springs Centre 2a Granby Street) Coalville (Agar Nook Community Centre), Hinckley (Westfield Community Centre), Barwell (SureStart Children’s Centre) and we hope to offer a further venue later in the year. Also, clients can be seen at the offices in Leicester provided they actually live in the county. Please telephone 0845 4130555 to make an appointment at any of our venues. More »
The service is funded by the Legal Services Commission and as such all clients will be assessed regarding their eligibility for legal aid.
The credit crunch and impending recession will undoubtedly touch most people’s lives in one way or another and is likely to lead to an increased number of people seeking advice services across a range of issues as a recession is not just about money. People will be incurring debts and need money advice; people may lose their jobs and seek advice on their employment rights; they may face the loss of their home due to failure to meet their payment obligations; they may need to enter the benefits system with no previous knowledge of welfare benefits and may be unsure of their entitlements; the wider implications of the recession can lead to family breakdowns, and people needing advice in this area too. We will be offering advice in all these areas of law to people across Leicestershire.
The Community Law Service has experienced solicitors and case workers.
Leicester Money Advice, the parent company for the Community Law Service (Leicester & County) was established in 1980 and has delivered debt advice in the city and county for almost 30 years.

Making Changes...
More and more people are making use of their Community Forum to try and improve local services and raise issues of local concern.
- Residents in Birstall were unhappy that the swimming pool in Longslade Community College was no longer going to be open to the public outside school hours. Discussion at the local Area Forum meeting resulted in the College working directly with local users to find ways the pool can remain open.
- Following the Government’s shortlisting of ‘Pennbury’ as a potential Eco-town, the ‘Have your Say’ meetings in Kibworth and Tugby were the first opportunity for residents in the surrounding area to find out how the District and County Council were planning to respond to this challenge.
- At the Blaby South Community Forum residents and Parish Councillors from Sapcote, Sharnford, Stoney Stanton and surrounding villages expressed their concerns about the volume and speed of Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling through their villages. In response officers promised to look into a range of measures to reduce the impact of traffic and improve road safety in the short term, while explaining how they were looking to provide longer-term solutions.
