The mayor of Leicester has marked a decade of investment in the city’s £300 million Waterside regeneration scheme.
Over the past 10 years a derelict, forgotten corner of the city running along the Rover Soar and Grand Union Canal, has been transformed with 1,000 new homes, 97,000 sq ft of new office space and - Leicester City Council says - the creation of around 500 new jobs.
The site includes two new hotels, build-to-rent apartments, student flats, a new home for Leicester Riders Basketball team and even a new bowling alley.
