Councillor Ted Webster-Williams, Cabinet member with responsibility for Community Focus said,
“ There is much to discover in The District of Blaby.  This programme of walks and talks is a great way of improving your local knowledge.  It has proved to be extremely popular over the past few years.  Where else can you get the services of an expert local guide free of charge?”
