  • Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal

    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal

    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal Page | 1 Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic local economy and its success is integral to driving economic growth in the United Kingdom. The area is home to just under 1 million residents and over 32,000 businesses, many in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. Leicester and Leicestershire also benefits from its location at the heart of the UK road network and close proximity to both the second largest freight handling airport in the UK and London. The area provides employment for 435,000 people and generates an estimated gross value added of £19.4 billion. Despite these strengths Leicester and Leicestershire faces a series of challenges: more than 25,000 jobs were lost between 2008 and 2011 (nearly twice the national average); youth unemployment is relatively high within the city of Leicester and parts of the county; and whilst 70% of small and medium enterprises have plans for growth many find accessing the right type of business support is complex. Some local businesses also note difficulties in filling vacancies. As part of the area’s wider Growth Strategy the City Deal seeks to tackle these key barriers. Over its lifetime the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership expects that the City Deal will deliver: A new employment scheme targeted at 16-24 year olds that will reduce youth unemployment by 50% by 2018, deliver 3,000 new apprenticeships and 1,000 traineeships and work placements. An innovative new employment and training scheme for young offenders. Improved co-ordination of business support services and a range of innovative business support programmes.

    Dementia Pilot

    Assistive Technology Dementia Pilot January 2020 Information for participants What are we doing? We are running a small pilot project for 50 people to test some new technology designed to help people with dementia living at home. This is something new for the council and we would like to see how it works and understand what the people taking part think about it. We have selected the technology that we are going to use and at the end of the project we will ask you how helpful and easy it was to use. Where are we doing it? The pilot project is a partnership between Leicestershire County Council and five district and borough councils and is for people living in the following areas: • Charnwood • North West Leicestershire • Hinckley and Bosworth • Oadby and Wigston • Blaby What does the technology do? We will be using a product called MySense. This monitors an individual’s activity and daily routine in the home and then communicates the information it collects using the internet. It gathers information using: • Sensors – which can identify movement and activity, e.g. when the bathroom door was opened, or the fridge was used • Smartplug – which connects to the kettle and can indicate when this has been used • Sleep Sensor – which can identify the time at which someone has gone to bed and the time they spent in bed This information is then communicated in the following ways: • App – for family members/friends, which shows a timeline of activity. • Notifications – that a family member/friend will receive by text about the important things you need to know about Do I have to pay for this? No, the council will provide the system to you free of charge during the pilot.

    1. Introduction

    Oadby Town Centre Area Action Plan 1 Baseline Report 1. Introduction 1.1. Taylor Young, in conjunction with BE Group and Faber Maunsell and in association with White Young Green, have been commissioned by Oadby and Wigston Borough Council to undertake an Area Action Plan (AAP) for the town centre of Oadby. This will be prepared fully in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004, and as such will form part of the Council’s Local Development Framework (LDF) in accordance with their Local Development Scheme (LDS). Running in parallel to this work is the preparation of an AAP for Wigston town centre. 1.2. This Baseline Report therefore presents the first of a series of stages that will lead to the production of the Area Action Plan. It also develops a thorough understanding of Oadby and presents an in depth evidence base upon which to move forward and if necessary support the Area Action Plan through examination. 1.3. This has been achieved through a detailed document review of national, regional and local planning policy in relation to town centres, as well as both generic and locally focused reports on retailing and regeneration. This is complemented by a thorough understanding of place – surveys undertaken by Planners, Regeneration Specialists, Urban Designers, Landscape Architects, Transport Specialists, Sustainability Experts and Property Specialists. 1.4. To supplement this and to further the understanding of wider town centre issues, an analysis of census based information has been undertaken to understand the socio- economic position of the catchment for Oadby, and analysis of retail and housing capacity undertaken to support the eventual proposals.
