Petition calling for local Co-Op to be saved gets strong response
A petition, calling for the threatened Hinckley Co-Op store to be kept open has been submitted to Co-Op managers. The petition, organised by Hinckley Lib Dem councillors collected over 550 signatures. The popular department store on Castle Street Hinckley is one of six department stores, the other five being nearby in Warwickshire, that the Heart of England Co-Op propose to close. Hinckley Lib Dem Councillors have written to the Heart of England Co-Op, enclosing the petition and asking them to reconsider the closure plans. Hinckley County Councillor Michael Mullaney said "Lots of local residents are extremely passionate about the town's Co-Op Department Store. Many people have signed the petition to keep it open and I hope the Heads of the Heart of England Co-Op will rethink and keep this much loved Hinckley store open. "The Co-Op rightly says it values its roots in local communities, a good way it can show that is by changing it's mind and keeping the Hinckley Co-Op open".

Big response to Fire Service Petition
Hinckley and Bosworth Liberal Democrat County Councillors have thanked residents who signed a petition to save local Fire Services. Well over a thousand people signed a petition run by local Lib Dem County Councillors David Bill, Stuart Bray, Keith Lynch and Michael Mullaney calling on Leicestershire Fire Authority to drop plans to massively cut back local Fire services. Leicestershire Fire Authority proposals included closing two local Fire Stations and removing eleven Fire engines, including one of the two Fire Engines that are based in Hinckley. Stuart Bray Lib Dem member of the Fire Authority said. "Lib Dem County Councillors have consistently opposed these plans to cut local Fire Services. Among the many local residents who opposed these plans have been current frontline firefighters who have warned that they'll no longer be able to properly protect Leicestershire residents. While money needs to be saved, it mustn't be at the expense of our safety." Hinckley Lib Dem County Councillor Michael Mull
