Summary
Leicester City Council plans to sell the historic Fosse Neighbourhood Centre and Library, citing high repair costs, but a grassroots campaign led by former councillor Dave Brazier is rallying to save it. With over 140 signatures on a petition, campaigners are pushing for the building to be officially recognized as an asset of community value — giving them a year to secure funding and buy it back. Backed by the Leicester Social Enterprise Network, their vision includes transforming the 1898 building into a vibrant hub for social enterprises, education, digital support, and a food bank — all while preserving its legacy as a vital community space.
