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. -
Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017
NHS England Midlands and East (Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017 PGD validity There has been some confusion regarding the switch from local PGD production to the adoption of PHE national template PGDs. We have had reports of practices using national template PGDs which have been download directly from the PHE webpages, and an email sent out to warn against using an un-adopted document has unfortunately led some staff to believe that the recently supplied antenatal pertussis PGD isn’t valid. We’re sorry that this has proved confusing, but all of our communications, the information on the page above, and now on our own webpages https://www.england.nhs.uk/mids- east/our-work/ll-immunisation/, as well as in the documents themselves (template and adopted version) include wording that distinguishes between the two and spells out the legal position. Hopefully the following information will provide the necessary clarification: National templates are just that – templates. They are not PGDs, and cannot be used unless they have been authorised and adopted for use by an organisation legally permitted to do this. They are Word documents into which local text can be added to allow local authorisation to take place. Without this authorisation a non-prescribing registered health care professional would effectively be prescribing and therefore acting illegally should they administer a vaccination using the template. NHS England is able to adopt PGDs for local use. The PGD must clearly state: o the name of the authorising organisation o on whose behalf it has been authorised (i.e. -
The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity. -

03 Harby Head - Cram 30/9/05 3:24 pm Page 91 A STONE ‘CELTIC’ HUMAN HEAD FROM HARBY, LEICESTERSHIRE Leslie Cram, Martin Henig, Keith Ambrose The Harby stone human head was found by Betty Holyland in 1984 in a garden in Harby, Leicestershire, on the southwest edge of the village, NGR SK 7449 3085. It was lying face down on the ground in a rockery when discovered. The previous owners of the house have no knowledge of the head. The land had been a field before the house was built in the 1930s. The head is crudely made in the local ironstone and is roughly ovoid in shape. The back is slightly rounded and, although not carved, displays chisel marks; in addition a hole has been bored diagonally into the back to a depth of 7 mm with diameter of 2.9 mm. This is weathered to the same extent as the rest of the head, contrasting with the recently cut surface on the left side of the mouth, thus suggesting that it dates back to the original manufacture of the head (illus. 1). This hole opens upwards so if it were used to hang the head on a nail or wooden peg a plug would have been needed. The sides are squared off with no features apart from rough chisel marks (illus. 2). The face on the front has ovoid, hollowed out eyes separated by a long flat nose, slightly raised above the level of the rest of the face. The mouth is likewise hollowed into the stone, and is slightly curved upward, apparently set in a grim smile. -

Chapter 2 Demography
Chapter 2 Demography Geographical context 2.1 Leicestershire is a landlocked county in central England. It takes its name from the heavily populated City of Leicester, traditionally its administrative centre, although the City of Leicester unitary authority is today administered separately from the County of Leicestershire. The county borders onto Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. 2.2 Much of the built-up area of Leicester City is continuous with adjoining built-up areas of Leicestershire County surrounding it, especially in the districts of Oadby & Wigston and parts of Blaby, Charnwood and Harborough. The built-up area of Leicester is defined for Strategic Planning Policy and known as the Leicester & Leicestershire Principal Urban Area (PUA). The whole of Leicestershire has a strong relationship with Leicester for migration, labour market, regeneration, planning, services and healthcare facilities. Population Estimates 2.3 A broad figure for the current total resident population is about 950,000, or, in very broad terms, nearly a million. According to current Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures, the total population estimate for 2008 is 940,500 for the sub-region of Leicester and Leicestershire, with the local authorities of Leicester City at 294,7001 and the Leicestershire County area at 645,800 resident population. ONS mid- year estimates of resident population are based on counts from the last (2001) census and are updated annually using data on births and deaths occurrences and estimated migration. Figures for local authorities in the area, for selected years, are shown in Table 2.1. The ONS population and migration evidence (referred to as ‘current’) in this report, is as published before their revisions to migration estimates in mid 2010. -
