Prospect Leicestershire

"Prospect, which is entirely funded by the public, was set up in 2009 after an agreement between the two councils.

"It had a budget of £1.5 million in 2009/10, but last year lost a major chunk of that following Government spending cuts.

"Prospect chairman Nick Carter said: "We understand the financial pressures the city council is under. We are grateful for their past support and that of the county council." It closed it operations in 2011 when its funding was cut.
