Weddington and St. Nicolas (Speaking As a Resident of Plan to Deliver a Choice of High Quality Homes, Widen Bulkington Lane Weddington & St. Nicolas Response Full Name of Organisation Please add your comment Response Ref Number Respondent 625/1 A & R N/A Concerned about the Borough Plan: See response 592/1 Hughes 1. Traffic Flow/Congestion - surrounding roads, including A5 and town centre already congested at peak times. Accidents on M6, M69 and M1 can cause gridlock. Extra 3000 homes will add 5000+ cars onto the already congested road system. Extra traffic will impact on town centre, the railway bridge and south and east of Nuneaton where residents and commuters attempt to travel to work/school. 2. Extra traffic will impact on air quality and so health. The Plan fails to show what measures will be taken to reduce the traffic impact on air quality and so the increasing air pollution caused by the housing proposal. 3. Schools - local primary and secondary schools are successful, so full to capacity. Some have to travel across the Borough to other schools. Adding 3000 homes will mean overcrowded amenities, limited education choice and an increase in traffic taking children to schools outside the area. 4. Greenfields - housing proposed on farmland. The country imports food so makes no sense to build over farmland when there are brownfield sites, empty offices and vacant industrial units. 5. Flood Risk - land surrounding Weddington and St Nicholas is predominantly underlain by clay which is poorly drained. This with natural drainage from higher ground, e.g. Higham on the Hill, has led to surface water flooding locally. Environment Agency Flood map for Surface Water shows this as an area likely to flood after rainfall. Builders of St Nicholas Park included flood risk measures for the Change Brook and Buttermere Park. Development, along with increases in rainfall due to climate change, will increase the risk of flooding at St Nicholas Park. 1 Response Full Name of Organisation Please add your comment Response Ref Number Respondent 6. Drainage - If sewer network is unable to cope with the extra demand of rainfall and run-off then flooding is inevitable - Severn Trent has no spare drainage capacity and no plans to expand the infrastructure. 7. Business - Makes no sense to concentrate the majority of new housing to the north of the Borough when business activity and employment opportunities are elsewhere. 8. Health - access to childcare, doctors and dentists will become more difficult. George Eliot Hospital is contracting. How will the health care needs of the Borough be met with the influx of outsider tenants. 9. How does the Borough Plan address the needs of residents in the Borough and specifically the CV11 area? 265/3 A. Marston The suggestion of a new ring road from Weddington to See response 94/1 The Long Shoot would direct traffic to an already congested area, where it is already almost impossible to make a right hand turn back towards the town centre. 265/5 A. Marston 3000 new homes to the north of the Borough will See response 592/1 exacerbate air quality issues, particularly on the gyratory system around Old Hinckley Road. This would have an adverse effect on the health of the people living in that area. The planning committee have already ignored this issue when granting planning permission for 510 homes in this area. It will also add to road safety issues. We only have one doctors' surgery to the north of Nuneaton and this is inadequate for the existing population. 265/6 A. Marston The area from The Long Shoot through to Weddington is See response 93/1 already prone to flooding. Local residents of Buttermere Avenue, Pallet Drive, Cleaver Gardens, Weddington Road and The Long Shoot were greatly concerned, and many experienced flooding during the winter of 2012/13. So far the solution has been to install attenuation tanks 2 Response Full Name of Organisation Please add your comment Response Ref Number Respondent when building new homes, rather than an overhaul of the drainage system. If any further new homes were to be built to the north of Nuneaton, a massively costly overhaul of the whole drainage system would be necessary, since NBBC has a duty of care to existing residents not to increase their risk of flooding. 59/5 AF Cook N/A Environmental impact of roads is purely theoretical and The S-Paramics transport modelling considers typical takes no account of the impact when there are local weekday conditions (factoring in the proposed growth). motorway diversions due to crashes and breakdowns.

Apartments must replace empty shops. See responses 592/1 and 229/2 (section 5) on retail growth. 421 Alison Butler N/A Do not understand why there is a need for a further 3000 See response 592/1 homes around the Weddington/St Nicolas area. Surely there aren't enough jobs within the area to meet that demand? I feel that the estimations on business growth have been massively blown out of proportion. I haven't really seen any convincing evidence so far that makes me feel as though that many houses are needed. If there is a need for more housing I feel that suitable sites across the Borough should be investigated first as there are definitely other sites that are more suitable and should be used first before destroying the surrounding countryside. Once that land has gone it will be gone forever. Another concern I have is for the air quality. Most home 3 Response Full Name of Organisation Please add your comment Response Ref Number Respondent owners have at least one car nowadays and many have 2 cars. If 3000 homes are to be built then that could be a further 4000+ cars which will be using the local roads. There are already areas within Nuneaton that have bad air quality and in my opinion we should be doing more to improve this, not adding to the issue. The sheer amount of extra traffic around the A5 and Weddington area is also a great concern. We currently live on Weddington Road. If I leave for work around 7.30am, the traffic is manageable. It takes me around 20 minutes to get to Walsgrave in Coventry. If I drop my children off at school before setting off to work it can take me nearly 50 minutes on a bad day. The Weddington Road and other surrounding roads are so congested. Sometimes I cannot even get off my drive due to the back up of traffic. People have the same issue when trying to get onto the A5 via the Weddington Road. 326 houses are already going to be built by St James Church and the island which will be built for those people is going to be on the end of Weddington Lane, so this is already going to have a big impact on traffic, let alone a further 3000 being built. A KFC has stupidly been given the go ahead (and is currently being built) in the residential area by the train station and this will also not help the traffic flow! I believe that more thought should be given to the existing residents not only in Weddington but in other areas too and the Borough Plan should not go ahead as it is. I have only lived in Nuneaton for 7 years and already we have lost the Church Fields to developers, a KFC has been given the go ahead in a built up residential area with no thought about the residents and the issues they may now have with traffic flow and the constant smell of fast food, and the Fox and Crane pub has been left to perish in the elements and has been left 4 Response Full Name of Organisation Please add your comment Response Ref Number Respondent an eye sore. Finally, I feel that if the Borough Council are interested in the views of the Nuneaton people then they should make sure that everyone is aware of what is happening. We are lucky in Weddington that Keith actually tries to get the community involved and keeps people up to date, but I don't believe that all areas are being supported the same way (such as the residents of Arbury!). Information should be being sent to every household by the council outlining what is being proposed and what people should do. I've read information on Facebook support group pages and on the internet but not everyone has access or understands how to use technology. It was only by going to a meeting at St James Church Hall that I heard that the equivalent of 2 more ropewalks may also go ahead. Has anyone from the council even walked around Nuneaton Town Centre recently? It's full of pound shops and charity shops!!! I don't use the Town Centre anymore for this reason.

  • Summer 2017 Issue 2
    Summer 2017 Issue 2 Escape 20th Birthday Celebrations July marked a very special time for the charity. Escape originated from two voluntary organisations which were both founded in 1997 by Artistic Directors Robin Wade and Karen Williams. Robin established the Escape project in her front room, supporting adults through weekly ceramic workshops and Karen Williams established Community Art in Action: creative workshops supporting adults with learning disabilities. Both of these groups still flourish today,Stratford Escape every Wednesday and Paper Moon every Tuesday. The 20th Birthday celebration resulted in a three day exhibition involving Escape work from across all the project venues and activities. It was attended by over 2000 people and was a great opportunity to bring the Escape family of staff, volunteers and participants all together. Leading up to the celebrations, Escape ran a competition to ‘Name The Steer’ the fantastic sculpture created by Rachel Higgins which now resides outside the Slaughterhouse. The winning entry was ‘Metallic Moo’ won by Oliver Hughes from The Willows Primary School. Robin Wade Retirement At this time we say a fond farewell to Robin, who after 20 years of passion and dedication is now retiring. Robin speaks fondly about Escape: “Many changes have taken place for Escape over the past twenty years and so many creative talents have been realised. From small beginnings Escape has grown through the decades and we have all had an extraordinary journey. Timing has been everything; receiving funding through Big Lottery, the Town Trust Challenge and the Arts Council gave us the opportunity to build on all our previous work within the community and allow as many people as possible to share in what we do.

  • Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: Progress and Potential by Anne Graf
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:54 AM Page 1 Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: progress and potential by Anne Graf Drawing on archaeological and geological research, recent finds, museum collections and borehole evidence, this paper describes the changing local landscape and environment round the Cromerian-period Bytham river valley, possibly the major early entry route to Britain from Europe; the succeeding pro-glacial Lake Harrison and present-day post-glacial rivers; and highlights deposits with Palaeolithic archaeological potential. Palaeolithic tools of quartzite, comparable with other Midlands raw materials, and of andesitic and Charnian tuff may suggest occupation from around 600,000 BC, while flint tools suggest at least intermittent post-Anglian occupation, followed by probable abandonment from after 160,000 BC until possible Devensian re-occupation by Neanderthalers post- 60,000 BC. Introduction The last twenty years have seen very exciting results for the Palaeolithic period in Leicestershire and Rutland. This paper discusses these results, which are placed in the contexts both of the local landscape changes, and of the growing national understanding of key Palaeolithic issues. The paper aims to provide a summary of current knowledge of the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic occupants and their environments and landscapes in these two counties, and to highlight potential for further investigation. The local, and many national, sites, to which references can be found in the bibliography, are presented in the timechart in illus. 1, with their relative positions within current archaeological and geological divisions and phases. Throughout the timechart and the rest of this paper ‘thousand [years] ago’ will be abbreviated to ‘ka’, while the oxygen isotope stages now used for international date correlations (see below) will also be abbreviated, so that, for example, OIS-16 indicates oxygen isotope stage 16.
