17/33 CHARNWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL’S COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW

The Councillors agreed to send the following response to Charnwood Borough Council. Rothley Parish Council would like to keep all existing parish boundaries.

We are aware Mountsorrel P C have suggested that the Old Rolls Royce site. Comprising:- Alvis Dale, Halywell Nook, Kiln Garth, Marl Fields, Merlin Close, Oldfield Lane, The Pyke, Pott Acre, Rowe Leys Furlong, Whatton Oaks and West Cross lane be transferred to Mountsorrel Parish.

In 2006 residents of the old Rolls Royce site were consulted and 95% responded that they wanted to remain part of Rothley because they had an affinity with Rothley Village. Since then planning permission has been granted to Wm Davis to build 250 houses off Mountsorrel Lane Rothley and 45 houses plus residential home on Linkfield Farm Rothley.

This has joined the old Rolls Royce site to Rothley and makes this bond even stronger. We have been contacted by residents and they still wish to remain part of Rothley. They are in the Rothley Junior School catchment area and being LE7 post code are served by Rothley Post office workers. So we believe there is no reason to change this boundary.

The West Cross Lane area is again in Rothley and is marketed by the developers as Rothley and is also in Rothley Junior School catchment area so we see no reason why this area should be transferred to Mountsorrel.

Part of the Broadnook planning application site is in Rothley Parish and as this is mainly an amenity area we believe it should remain in Rothley Parish.

17/34 It was also agreed to respond to a letter from a resident informing them of the Parish Council’s refusal.

17/35 DATE OF NEXT MEETING – Wednesday 14th June at 9:30am
