BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 3 4 BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND WHAT IS THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND? The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of the Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to the Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3692). The Order also transferred to the Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Kru Desai Robin Gray Joan Jones Ann M. Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils. This report sets out our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the borough of Melton in Leicestershire. BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 5 6 BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Local Government Commission for England (LGCE) began a review of Melton’s electoral arrangements on 12 June 2001. It published its draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 15 January 2002, after which it undertook an eight-week period of consultation. As a consequence of the transfer of functions referred to earlier, it falls to us, the Boundary Committee for England, to complete the work of the LGCE and submit final recommendations to the Electoral Commission. • This report summarises the representations received by the LGCE during consultation on its draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to the Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Melton: • In 12 of the 17 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the borough, and five wards vary by more than 20 per cent. • By 2006 this situation is expected to worsen slightly, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in 12 wards and by more than 20 per cent in six wards. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 132–133) are that: • Melton Borough Council should have 28 councillors, two more than at present; • there should be 16 wards, instead of 17 as at present; • the boundaries of 11 of the existing wards should be modified, resulting in a net reduction of one, and six wards should retain their existing boundaries; • elections should continue to take place every four years. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each borough councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In two of the proposed 16 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by more than 10 per cent from the borough average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in two wards, Long Clawson & Stathern and Gaddesby, expected to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average for the borough in 2006. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • an amended boundary between the parish wards of Saltby and Sproxton of Sproxton parish. BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 7 All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to the Electoral Commission, to arrive by 18 July 2002: The Secretary Electoral Commission Trevelyan House Great Peter Street London SW1P 2HW 8 BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND Table 1: Final Recommendations: Summary Ward name Number of Constituent areas Map reference councillors 1 Asfordby 2 Unchanged: the parish of Asfordby Map 2 and Map A1 2 Bottesford 2 Unchanged: the parish of Bottesford Map 2 and Map A1 3 Croxton Kerrial 1 The parishes of Belvoir, Croxton Kerrial and Eaton; Map 2, Map A1 and the Saltby and Stonesby parish wards of Sproxton Map A2 parish 4 Frisby-on-the- 1 Unchanged: the parishes of Frisby & Kirby, Map 2 and Map A1 Wreake Grimston and Hoby with Rotherby 5 Gaddesby 1 The parishes of Burton & Dalby and Gaddesby Map 2 and Map A1 6 Long Clawson & 2 The parishes of Clawson, Hose & Harby, Stathern Map 2 and Map A1 Stathern and Redmile 7 Melton Craven 2 Craven ward; part of Newport ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 8 Melton Dorian 3 Unchanged: the existing Mowbray ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 9 Melton Egerton 2 Egerton ward; part of Sysonby ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 10 Melton Newport 3 Part of Newport ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 11 Melton Sysonby 3 Part of Sysonby ward; part of Newport ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 12 Melton Warwick 2 Unchanged: the existing Warwick ward Map 2, Map A1 and the large map 13 Old Dalby 1 Unchanged: the parishes of Ab Kettleby and Map 2 and Map A1 Broughton & Old Dalby 14 Somerby 1 The parishes of Knossington & Cold Overton, Map 2 and Map A1 Somerby and Twyford & Thorpe 15 Waltham-on-the- 1 The parishes of Scalford and Waltham Map 2 and Map A1 Wolds 16 Wymondham 1 The parishes of Buckminster, Freeby, Garthorpe Map 2, Map A1 and and Wymondham; the Sproxton parish ward of Map A2 Sproxton parish Notes: 1 Melton Mowbray town is unparished and comprises the six wards indicated above. 2 Map 2 and Appendix A, including the large map in the back of the report, illustrate the proposed wards outlined above. 3 We have made a number of minor boundary amendments to ensure that existing ward boundaries adhere to ground detail.

  • History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold
    History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold Waltham-on-the-Wolds The village is situated in the northeast corner of Leicestershire, five miles from Melton Mowbray, eleven miles from Grantham and approximately twenty miles from Leicester, Nottingham, Newark and Stamford. It is positioned on the eastern edge of the Leicestershire Wolds, overlooking the Vale of Belvoir from a height of 168m (560ft), making it the second highest village in the county. Geologically, Waltham stands on a mixture of clay and red marl with underlying strata of Jurassic limestone, which has been quarried locally and used in the building of many of the older houses in the village. There is little evidence of any settlement in the area earlier than AD 800. The Domesday Book reference to Waltham reveals that the village belonged to Hugh of Grandmesnil who, after the Norman Conquest, was the largest landowner in the county. Hugh allowed a man named Walter to hold a major part of the village and surrounding area. Some say that this arrangement gave Waltham its name – Walt’s Ham (Walter’s Town). However, earlier records refer to the village as Wautham – so another theory is that the name may have been derived from Weald (woody), Ham (town) and, the Saxon word, Wold (a hill or high place). THE WALTHAM TIME-LINE • 1086 Waltham mentioned in the Domesday Book • C1200 St Mary Magdalene Church built • C1300 Church rebuilt • Medieval Era Waltham market & annual fair established under a charter granted by Henry III 5h Century The Horseshoes (later the Royal Horseshoes) built and alterations to the Church • 1541 Parts of the village belonging to the various religious houses at the dissolution of the monasteries were granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Manners, Earl of Rutland • 18th Century Market ceases to trade but annual fair continues – seventeen alehouses in the village.

  • Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction
    Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Tilton on the Hill (hereby referred to as Tilton), lies on the B6047 that connects Market Harborough (14 miles away) to Melton Mowbray (11 miles away). The village is in the north-east of Harborough District, sitting only 2 miles north of the A47. Tilton parish is one of the largest in the District and embraces numerous past and current settlements such as Halstead, Whatborough and Marefield. The settlement neighbours Skeffington to the south, Billesdon, Cold Newton and Lowesby to the west, Marefield and Owsten and Newbold to the north, with Loddington, Launde and Withcote lying to the east. Beyond its Harborough District neighbours, the parish is in close proximity to Melton Borough and Rutland County. The village centre is a conservation area (with the church, pub and Main Street constituting its centre) and the parish contains 5 scheduled ancient monuments. Such a rich history can be explained by Tilton’s location, at the crossroads of two ancient, pre-Roman pathways that date back to the Bronze Age. Furthermore, the village was recognised not only as ‘The Best Village in Leicestershire’ in the Calor Village of the Year Awards 2009, but also as the ‘Sustainability Village of the Year’ for the Midlands in the same year. An achievement that can be considered the fruits of ‘Tilton Green’s’ labour – a community centred on improving Tilton’s environmental record (discussed in Tilton Parish Council section). Lastly, Tilton is among one of the highest places in east Leicestershire, standing at 219 metres above sea level near the peak of the High Leicestershire area.

  • Questionnaire Analysis May 2017
    Ab Kettleby Parish Neighbourhood Plan Questionnaire Analysis May 2017 OVERVIEW The Parish of Ab Kettleby has commenced the preparation of their Neighbourhood Plan. An important part of this inclusive process is, of course, obtaining the views and aspirations of the community. Key to this has been the development and dissemination of a community questionnaire. 93 The questionnaire contained 26 questions and is based on important themes established following initial RESPONSES consultation work by the Ab Kettleby Parish Council. These themes are: our parish; housing; parish facilities; education; environment & heritage; business; general comments. The survey took place in April 2017. It was available to complete electronically and as a paper copy. The level of response from the community was good, there being 93 responses. This represents a return from over 20% 40% of the adult population, (450 over the age of 18). OF Given that some households chose to respond HOUSEHOLDS collectively rather than as individuals; it is also pertinent to consider the number of responses in relation to the number of households in the Neighbourhood Plan area. The number of responses represents over 40% of the 229 households. This demonstrates the high level of commitment to the 20% Neighbourhood Plan by the small community and, in turn, adds strength to the validity of the collected views OF ADULT expressed. RESIDENTS Population data taken from 2011 Census Page | 1 Responses were received from each of the four settlements within the Ab Kettleby parish as well as non parish resident stakeholders. Non Parish Residents/Stakeholders were a property owner, the Vicar of Ab Kettleby, Holwell and Wartnaby, a person who used to live at Holwell and the treasurer of the Melton Mowbray & District Scout camp site.

I visited the neighbourhood plan area on 20 September 2017. 3 The Plan proposes a series of policies and seeks to bring forward positive and sustainable development in the plan area. There is a very clear focus on safeguarding local character and celebrating its rich historic environment. It identifies various sites for housing development and proposes reserve sites. It designates local green spaces. It also includes a distinctive set of policies on environment and landscape, community facilities and the promotion of employment opportunities 4 The Plan has been underpinned by community support and engagement. The community has been actively engaged in its preparation in a proportionate way. 5 Subject to a series of recommended modifications set out in this report I have concluded that the Neighbourhood Plan meets all the necessary legal requirements and should proceed to referendum. 6 I recommend that the referendum should be held within the neighbourhood plan area.

  • NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New War Memorial in The
    NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New war memorial in the making for Plungar: Tim Chamberlain of the East Midlands branch of the Western Front Association has kindly provided me with information on a fundraising effort to install a memorial to the casualties of a plane crash near Plungar in Melton district. If you would like to be put in touch, please let me know. A public meeting is to be held on 26th April at 7.30pm in Plungar Village Hall. The memorial is due to be unveiled on Saturday 22nd September, with service at 2pm at Plungar Church. You can read more about the crash in the article provided by Tim Chamberlain below. Veteran experiences: I’m glad to be working with the Leicester branch of the British Korean Veteran’s Association on some oral history recordings, which I hope to start in the next few months. I would like to use this to interest schools across Leicestershire in hosting some of the Korean veterans who can speak about their experiences to the students. 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice on 27th July 1953; this is the only thing that technically prevents the fighting from continuing to this day, as a peace settlement was never reached. Members of the Leicester branch were interviewed on the subject of National Service at an event at Donington le Heath Manor House (right) last November, which as you will see in the events section is being run once again, on 17th June. If you would like to have a table at this event, please contact Richard.Knox@leics.gov.uk or myself Liz.Blood@leics.gov.uk “Stand by Your Beds!” an event at Donington le Heath on 17th June, is looking for groups and veterans’ associations to take part.
