Show Notes
Leicester City Council leases historic stable block and garden to Winstanley House hotel owners for £375,000. The Parmar Collection, the hotel owners, plan to use parts of the Grade II listed building for additional rooms during events, while sub-leasing space back to the Braunstone History Group. The history group expresses concerns about losing top floor space and potential impact on school trips. Council officials maintain the group was consulted and will continue operating their museum. The sale aims to meet a £60 million capital budget goal and reduce maintenance costs, with potential for increased visitors and jobs.
