Our vision for the city is about people. It is that the people of Leicester will feel confident in themselves, in their neighbourhoods, in the future and in the city. We want to create an ambitious, progressive and prosperous city where everyone has the opportunity to meet their potential regardless of their age, belief, disability, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation.
