This week on Square Mile Reports we take a look at the subject of Gay Marriage. The subject has received a lot of press attention due to the recent legalisation of gay marriage in six American states (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.) Under current UK law, gay people are allowed to enter into a civil partnership which provides the same legal consequences of marriage. However, many believe that gay people should be allowed to get married so that they have the equal rights as heterosexual couples.

This week on Square Mile Reports we take a look at the geographical area that makes up the Square Mile. Firstly we spoke to Ian Roberts about his memories of growing up on Fosse Road North during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Ian also has a blog where he has written extensively about his childhood and the surrounding area.

This week on Square Mile Reports we have a health special. On January 19^th Square Mile Reports went along to Woodgate Resource Centre where a health consultation was taking place with local residents. During the one hour session local residents had the opportunity to discuss their concerns.
