Outstanding profiles - East Midlands

[John Chanin]

This is the list as at mid-July.  I will edit it if and when new profiles appear.  Leicestershire and Northamptonshire appear to be black holes as far as the forum is concerned.

Derbyshire
Bolsover

Nottinghamshire
Gedling 
Broxtowe
Nottingham seats are a bit  light.

Leicestershire
Loughborough
Bosworth
Charnwood
Leicestershire S
Harborough
Rutland & Melton

Northamptonshire
Wellingborough

Do we have any regular posters from Leics or Northants?

[AJS]

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.

Your right my Bassetlaw profile was rubbish but i may give it a another go when i have the time.

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

I have this on my list and will do it this month.  I know a lot about it.

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

I was toying with the idea of doing Daventry, which is in reach for me, so you might want to leave that till last.

Ok, will do

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.

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!
