The Five Parishes News July 2014 The Five Parishes News Serving the villages of Catthorpe, Misterton/Walcote, Shawell, Stanford-on-Avon, and Swinford CHANGE 'I can't stand change' said one vicar to another. 'Yes,' said the other, 'especially small change in the collection!' To live is to change. Everything goes on changing around us. And we have to make changes too. Most people communicate with one another through mobile phones, i-phones, emails etc. Yet there are still those who refuse to have anything to do with this modern technology. It was probably the same when telephones were first introduced. For the Christian believer there is the challenge to change and go on changing, to become the person God meant us to be. And yet we resist change. Old habits die hard. The selfish, self-centred part of us is so strong that we will make any excuse not to change. But Jesus comes saying 'The time has come, the Kingdom of heaven is near, repent (recognise your need to change and do it!) and believe the good news.' The greatest threat to life on this planet is climate change and global warming. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel composed of hundreds of the world leading climate scientists are unanimous in their conclusion that the world's climate is changing, and it is largely because of human activity, especially our carbon emissions. Yet many of us are sceptical. Perhaps the main reason is because if we really accepted that the climate is changing and we humans are mainly responsible then we would have to make major changes to our life style, and cut our carbon emissions. So its better to stay in denial! Then we don't have to change. 'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.'

  • Accompanying Note
    Rural Economy Planning Toolkit Companion Document Instructions for Using the Toolkit Useful Context Information Produced by: Funded by: Rural Economic Development Planning Toolkit This document explains how to use the toolkit in greater detail and sets out some of the broader context relevant to the development of the toolkit. 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.

Important Views Foreword from the Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee Welcome to the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Misterton with Walcote. The current Neighbourhood Plan process was originated by Misterton with Walcote Parish at a Council meeting on 12 January 2017 when it was decided to set up a joint Parish Council/Community Advisory Committee. The impetus for producing a Neighbourhood Plan was not to prevent development, but to ensure that it is of an appropriate scale and character. We are fortunate to live in an area of great beauty both in terms of the natural landscape and the built environment. As the Neighbourhood Plan was being written, the new Local Plan for Harborough was being finalised. It was adopted in April 2019. A key element of the Local Plan is the proposal to establish a Strategic Development Area (SDA) for Lutterworth, a significant proportion of which is in the Neighbourhood Plan Area.

    Page 49 Agenda Item 8 REPORT TO THE DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD – 12TH AUGUST 2004 PROPOSED DEFINITIVE MODIFICATION ORDER UPGRADING OF PARTS OF PUBLIC FOOTPATHS Y98 AND Y99 TO PUBLIC BRIDLEWAY BETWEEN MISTERTON AND WALCOTE REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE PART A PURPOSE 1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Board's approval of the above- mentioned proposal. Recommendation 2. It is recommended that an Order be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the effect of which will be to upgrade parts of footpaths Y98 and Y99 to bridleway between Misterton and Walcote, as shown on the plan attached to this report. Reason for Recommendation 3. Given the user and historical evidence which has been provided, it would appear to offer solid evidence that parts of public footpaths Y98 and Y99 should be upgraded to public bridleway on the Definitive Map of Public Rights of Way for Leicestershire. Circulation under Sensitive Issues Procedure 4. Mr. I.M. Morris CC. Officer to Contact 5. Mr. Gary Jackson, Chief Executive's Department, Tel 0116 2656159. Page 50 PART B Background 6. An application has been received from Mr. M.A.C. and Mrs. C.V.

The application is being processed under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Legal Considerations 8. As this application partly relies on a claim of user over a period of 20 years, it raises the question of Section 31 of the Highways Act 1980.

  • Harborough District Council
    Harborough Council Size Submission Approved by Full Council on 25th July 2016 Section 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Harborough District spans an area of 59,178 hectares (228 square miles) situated in rural south Leicestershire. The district shares boundaries with Melton Borough, Rutland County, Corby Borough, Kettering Borough, Daventry District, Rugby Borough, Blaby District, Oadby and Wigston Borough, Leicester City, and Charnwood Borough. 1.2 The sub-regional centre is Market Harborough; key centres are recognised as Broughton Astley and Lutterworth; rural centres are Kibworth, Fleckney, Great Glen, Billesdon, Ullesthorpe and Husbands Bosworth. 1.3 Harborough District comprises 91 parishes, of which 45 have parish councils and 42 are parish meetings (3 joint parish meetings represent 7 separate parishes). The town of Market Harborough is unparished. 1.4 There are a number of main ‘A’ roads that link the main urban settlements within and outside the District. The A4303/A4304 serves between Harborough and Lutterworth, and the A426 links Lutterworth to Rugby. The A6 links Market Harborough directly to Leicester and the A14 links to Kettering and the South. The main urban areas of the District are close to the intersection of the M1, M6 and A14. 1.5 The midland mainline runs through the district with London just over an hour’s journey from Market Harborough. Harborough’s rural nature, and its proximity to London by rail, make it an increasingly attractive place for commuters to live. 1.6 The 2011 Census recorded the population of the Harborough District as 85,382. The Office for National Statistics estimates that the population of Harborough District will increase to 100,800 by 2033.
