Your Ideas

What is the ideas system?

The Ideas System is the easiest way to share your suggestions and vote on ideas from other students. When you submit an idea, the Student Voice Team and an Executive Officer will review it. We only decline ideas if they:

Break the law
Prevent us from meeting our charitable obligations
Name or identify individuals (including staff)
Contain defamatory or harmful content

If there’s an issue, we’ll contact you, explain why, and help you adjust the idea. You’ll also be told how to appeal.

Once approved, your idea is published for 10 working days, where students can give it a thumbs up, thumbs down, or comment.

What happens next?

If your idea gets under 50 likes:
Sent to the relevant Council to discuss. If they support it, they’ll start planning or developing policy.
50–99 likes:
Must be discussed by a Council. They may choose to act by creating a plan or policy for Leicester100.
100+ likes:
You can present your idea to Leicester100 (if you have a full policy). If not, a Council will create a policy or action plan with you.

You’ll be invited to any Council meeting where your idea is discussed, and you can be as involved as you like. If the idea becomes a policy proposal, the Council will help you build it—along with a handy guide.

Voting is simple

Just hit thumbs up or thumbs down on any idea. You can also comment and join the discussion.

Important to know

Ideas have 2 weeks to reach 50 positive votes.
Ideas are removed after 6 months.

On-Street Parking Cost Rise

Submitted 3 years ago by Marlene Lucia Gabriela Kidd

Passed
2comments

Leicester City Council has increased the cost of on-street parking by the University by 100% from £4 to £8, for which you can only pay in coins for. With the help of the SU and other students, I want to campaign to the council to reduce this rise. I feel that this is vital considering the current cost-of-living crisis deeply affecting students, especially those already trying to reduce costs of studying at University by commuting.

Dhruv Parmar Parmar: 7:28pm on 25 Jan 23 Similar issue applies to the Freeman's common car park, I believe it should be available to students that live further away at a reduced cost as with timetables sometime stretching up to 6+ hours parking can became pretty costly.
Vaibhav Sharma: 5:15pm on 27 Jan 23 Yes students should have discounted parking because it really helps and the university bus is unreliable as it doesn't follow the time table.
