I hope the council removed the homeless,

I have of often wondered what you could see at Syston as the train to Leicester passes by the station

Watermead Country Park
Syston, near Leiceseter

Its just of the A46 Leicester bypass and is a green oasis and a patchwork of lakes, waterways, and trails and a haven for wildlife.
