The East Midlands is now complete, although the Nottingham seats could still benefit from more detail.
Edit: Nottingham now has fuller profiles.

Do we have any regular posters from Leics or Northants?

Since I don't have anything to do at the moment, I might do my own spreadsheet of which constituencies have and haven't had profiles done so far, for the whole UK.

I've done Leicester East, I'll do the other two in due course because I've already got the research

Do we have any regular posters from Leics or Northants? I grew up in E Leics and can have a go at Harborough and Rutland/Melton. |

I think I'll make my next one Sherwood, as my doctoral thesis on the development of the inter-war Nottinghamshire coalfield and subsequent book The Dukeries Transformed was based there ...

I've just added Corby and unless anyone else wants to do them I'll work my way through the rest of the Northants

Unless something has changed, there's nothing to stop folk doing multiple profiles for the same seat. It doesn't imply disrespect for the one who starts the thread, it complements their efforts.

True but I thinks it's natural for people to feel a little disrespected if someone does a whole profile on top of theirs rather than simply recommending edits and additions |

I can certainly do Bosworth (subject to lockdown rules) and I think can have a go at South Leicestershire and Charnwood. While Charnwood Forest is in my hiking area, these two seats mostly consist of Leicester suburbs. @strinity said last summer that he could do Harborough and Rutland & Melton, but he has been absent from this site recently. These are both too far for me to do.

These are both too far for me to do. I did get a fair way into Harborough and then paused it to do some more research into the longer term history of the settlements, and then got preoccupied with other commitments and didn't come back. It is still on my to do list though! |

I’m going to take the car out next week and do a tour round west Leicestershire, and will then post profiles for Bosworth and South Leicestershire which I have made provisional outlines for. I know I’ve said before I’ll do these, but this thread needs raisng back to the top to remind others of what’s still missing. If I go to Charnwood Forest for a hike later in the summer I will take the opportunity to travel a little further east and do Charnwood.

As I noted on the general thread, I will guarantee to go and do Loughborough and Melton/Rutland at some point in the next month or so, despite them being a long way away.
