    Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring Edition 2020 February Fill Dyke An old saying goes, "February fill dyke, be black or be it white; Be it white, 'tis better to like." This roughly means that rain and snow are both welcome in February, although snow is preferable. Well it’s certainly been black this year. Harborough District Council are encouraging parish councils to put in place Community Response Plans in the event of an incident such as severe weather. Tur Langton Parish Council has theirs and East Langton Parish Council’s is nearly completed (see p 7). The plan provides a guide as to how and where the local community may support the Emergency services in terms of information and providing predetermined resources where appropriate. Let’s hope we never have to use it. Keep safe. Roz Folwell Stonton Wyville taken by G. Devereaux-Batchelor Printed by Omniprint, Market Harborough 1 2 Church Langton CE (AIDED) Primary School Young Voices The pupils in years five and six were very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform as part of a six thousand strong choir at the Young Voices concert at the Birmingham Arena. Supported by a very keen team of teachers, the children sang with a wide range of acts including Tony Hadley and alongside street dance group Urban Sounds. This is part of our ongoing opportunities for the pupils to take part in musical performances to different audiences. As part of the Spark Festival, a celebration of the arts taking place in Leicester during February, we were delighted to welcome an IndoJazz band to perform to the children.

    Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring So What Happened to Edition the Christmas Edition 2019 of the Newsletter? Well, I was just finishing laying up the edition when I slipped and fell in the garden resulting in a three and a half hour operation to put a rod in my B6047 Tur Langton right tibia leaving the fibia to find its own way back from the twist fractures I had sustained. I have to thank the surgeon’s and staff at the Royal Infirmary for the excellent care I received during my ten day stay and to all those who sent best wishes for my recovery. I’d also like to thank Sue Lambert for her help delivering the Newsletter in Thorpe Langton after she took over from Irene Ward, and for the news items she sent me over the years. We wish her well in her new home. Talking about new homes, I’d like to welcome, on behalf of the Langton Community Hall Committee, all the new residents that have just moved into Church Langton. We have had quite a number of families move into the village and we hope they settle in well and join in the community activities. Being ’out of commission’ showed how the magazine really needs help in the process of contacting advertisers and contributors, writing up articles and laying up etc. We also need someone to deliver the Newsletter in Thorpe Langton. If you think you can spare a little time every three months please let me know. And when you have an event you’re planning and have held, don’t forget to advertise and take photos to let us know what’s happening in the district.

    HARBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL OPEN SPACE/SPORT AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL NEEDS FINAL REPORT BY PMP in association with Donaldsons JUNE 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary What is the aim of this open space, sport and recreation study? The study aims to provide a clear picture of existing and future needs for open space, sport and recreation in Harborough and the current ability to meet those needs in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility. The study sets local standards based on assessments of local needs, demographics and audits of existing open spaces. It is the basis for addressing quantitative and qualitative deficiencies through the planning process and should form the basis of the development of an open space strategy for Harborough DC. Scope of the open space and sport and recreation study The study includes all open space and recreation types identified within the latest Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (Planning for Open Space Sport and Recreation, July 2002) and its Companion Guide (September 2002). These include parks and gardens, natural and semi-natural areas, green corridors, amenity greenspace, provision for children and young people, outdoor sports facilities, allotments, cemeteries and churchyards and civic spaces. The study also considers the provision of sport and indoor recreation facilities. What is the need for the study of open space, sport and recreation? A local assessment of open space and open space needs will enable the Council to: • plan positively, creatively and effectively in identifying priority areas for improvement and to target appropriate types of open space required • ensure an adequate provision of high quality, accessible open space to meet the needs of community • ensure any accessible funding is invested in the right places where there is the most need • conduct S106 negations with developers from a position of knowledge with evidence to support.

Its sections are: Instructions for Using the Toolkit Economic Development Context The Emerging National Framework for Planning and Development The assessment of planning applications for rural economic development: designated sites and key issues for Leicestershire authorities What makes a good rural economic development planning proposal? Case Studies Parish Broadband Speeds The Distribution and Contribution of Rural Estates within Leicestershire Attractions in Leicester and Leicestershire Instructions - Using the Toolkit The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF document. Most of the text is locked, and you cannot change it. Throughout the toolkit, though, comments, information and responses are asked for, and boxes you can type in are provided. You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader. This means you have now created a version of the toolkit for the particular project you are working on, and still have the blank copy of the toolkit for another time. Let's assume you have saved your copy of the PDF file as 'Project.pdf' – every time you save again you will save all of the additions and traffic light choices you have made.

    Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council in Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission of England (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Harborough District Council 2016/17

    The Review Officer (Harborough) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP e-mail [email protected] 6th January 2017 Please find below and attached the submission by Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council in response to the Local Government Boundary Commission of England (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Harborough District Council 2016/17. LGBCE Objectives of the Review The aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters, i.e. electoral equality. The Commission also announced that it is minded to recommend that Harborough District Council should have 34 councillors in the future, a reduction of 3 from 37. Submission by Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council (KHPC) The proposed ward arrangements are based on the primary objectives of the LGBCE and to ensure electoral equality as well as maximising community cohesion. KHPC have studied the criteria set down for making submissions as to boundary changes within the Harborough District Council area and would propose the following (see appended map and spreadsheet analyses) for those Wards either adjacent to, or within the sphere of influence of the two Kibworth parishes. We would define this sphere by the availability of shopping, healthcare, educational & leisure facilities and the general drift of outlying populations thereto taking into consideration highways and transport links. KHPC has also examined the submission by Harborough District Council so have ensured that our own proposals are based on the same electoral numbers as those of HDC. On the KHPC proposed Ward spreadsheets (attached) we have accounted for these differentials by adding a row in red showing new or lost electors without allocating them to Parish level.
