Is your organisation able and prepared to start a 4 day working week? The idea is great. I can't help but think the implications, complexeties & additional costs of implementing such a scheme would make it extremely challenging for some to implement and sustain. #4dayworkweek
This Sunday is Thank You Day, an opportunity to say thank you to someone who deserves it. City Hall & Town Hall will be lit up in blue as a show of appreciation & to say thank you to every @Leicester_News colleague who has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic.#loveleicester
Excited to be sharing the early part of the evening celebrating the achievements of our young employees at @Leicester_News Great to see so many apprenticeships and graduates being celebrated. #YENawards2021
Why would you not go for a test? With 1 in 3 people suspected to be asymptomatic its better to be safe; especially if you are mixing households Christmas Day. We all have a part to play in reducing the spread and protecting our loved ones. #StaySafe
If you have symptoms of #coronavirus, call 119 to book a test immediately.

A mobile #coronavirus testing site will be in Crown Hills tomorrow (Tues 14) and in Nether Hall on Wednesday 15.
Our volunteers will be knocking on doors in the area to offer you free tests.
If you’re offered one please take it, and protect yourself, your family and others.
