Quote MessageThe parking bays are going to be reinstated but they are actually going to be on the opposite side of the road where the new cycle way is going to be. There'll still be pay and display parking available for people too, for people wanting to visit the hospital or the shops along Welford Road. That will come back in but while we are doing the work, that will take up space we need for machinery."

It would appear Telusa Veainu is pretty pleased to be extending his stay at Leicester Tigers...
Image source, Leicester TigersQuote MessageIt's been a real whirlwind year for me, leaving the Rebels in Australia and playing for Tonga in the Pacific Nations and then the Rugby World Cup before joining Leicester. The coaches, the players and the supporters have been great to me since I arrived and I'm really enjoying my rugby here. It's great to be a part of this squad and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Looking back over the last few months, I like to think this is a way of showing that all the hard work has paid off. I see this as just the beginning for me."

Take your brolly with you if you are venturing out this afternoon.
It's going to be cloudy with only limited bright or sunny intervals, and also showers or longer spells of rain, which will be heavy at times.
Light winds, and feeling chilly.
Sounds a bit grim if you ask me...
