Dated: 4th August 2017 LAUREN HASLAM, Director of Law and Governance, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicester LE3 8RA LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL DISTRICT OF CHARNWOOD SWITHLAND LANE, ROTHLEY PROPOSED LOWER SPEED LIMIT STATEMENT OF EFFECT As a result of the opening of the Heritage Centre on Swithland Lane, Rothley, requests have been made for Leicestershire County Council to review the speed limit on this length of Swithland Lane. Concerns have been raised regarding the speed of vehicles travelling on Swithland Lane given the increased levels of pedestrians in this location visiting the Heritage Centre. Therefore, it is proposed to implement a 40mph limit along Swithland Lane between Kinchley Lane and the existing 30mph speed limit. The reduction of speed in this area of Swithland Lane shall act as a buffer zone reducing the speeds of vehicles in the proximity of the Heritage Centre and in turn making the highway safer for all its users. In order to highlight the new speed limit, it is proposed to relocate the existing gateway markings (dragons teeth) from the start of the 30mph to the start of the proposed 40mph speed limit. The County Councillor for the area has raised no objection to the proposal.

  • Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir
    Quorn Walks Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir This is one of the set of six 9 km (5.5 miles) Pubs at start and end. Cafés on route at check points 3 and 4. Terrain: Start to Checkpoint 1 - Flat paved, Checkpoint 1 to 2 – Uneven, muddy during wet weather, Checkpoint 2 to 4 - Paved hilly. Checkpoint 4 to Finish - Flat paved, Bus stops: Regularly spaced along the route from start to Checkpoint 1 (No.154) and from Check point 4 to finish (No.127). Starting at Quorn Cross, the centre and main crossroads of the village, set off along Meeting Street. Beyond the award-winning Memorial Garden and the flood barrier to the left flows Buddon Brook, whose course we will be following all the way upstream to Swithland Reservoir. The many items of interest along Meeting Street and then Chaveney Road are explained in walk 5 in this series. In this case we walk about half a mile before turning left and joining the public right of way at the footpath sign just past Elms Drive (Checkpoint 1 on the map) Soon after turning left, we pass the site of the former Chaveney’s Water Mill (also called Quorn Water Mill, now Mill Farm). From the 16th to the 19th century, when Swithland Reservoir was built, a mill race from the brook was the motive power for this corn mill; the actual site of the old millwheel is not visible from the public footpath. Just after we enter the brookside path itself, you can see the remains of an ancient moated site beyond the far bank.

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr.

  • THE LEICESTERSHIRE LIN: a RIVER THROUGH TIME Ernest Miller and Anthony Squires
    230487 05c-131-154 18/10/09 10:57 Page 131 THE LEICESTERSHIRE LIN: A RIVER THROUGH TIME Ernest Miller and Anthony Squires The River Lin rises at Ulverscroft in the uplands of Charnwood Forest and follows a U-shaped course before emptying into the River Soar at Quorn (Quorndon). This distance is only a little over 17km and nowhere could the Lin be regarded as more than a modest brook. The purpose of this paper is to examine the many different ways the river has been harnessed to serve the needs and demands of generations of local people through almost a thousand years. In addition the writers hope that their researches and fieldwork may point the way to other local studies along similar lines. INTRODUCTION Along its natural course the river seldom encounters a feature which interrupts its slow, steady and even sluggish flow. Only in Bradgate Park and at a few other places does the surface break into ripples and the speed quicken (Fig. 1). At different places along its length the Lin is known by at least four local names. These vary according to whom one speaks and which maps are used. For present purposes, from its source to Ulverscroft mill it is the Ulverscroft brook. From there to the dam of Cropston Reservoir it is the River Lin. Thereafter, as far as the dam of Swithland Reservoir it is the Bybrook and on the final leg of its journey to the Soar it is the Buddon brook. Although we employ these names the term ‘River Lin’ recognises the water course in its entirety.

There was a consensusthat feedbackto recorders shouldbe improved,and it was agreedthat an annualsummary of Lepidopterarecords would be produced.The establishment of a validationpanel and a numberof othermeasures were also agreed. Thesemeasures will be implementedfully in relationto 1995records. As an indicationof thingsto come, I decidedto producea summaryof 1994records submitted to LeicestershireLepidoptera Recording Scheme. These records have all beenprocessed and mostare alreadyincorporated into BIOSPIN, the computerdatabase used by LeicestershireBiological Records Centre.However, it shouldbe bornein mindthat this is, in someweys, an incompletereport; it is knownthat there are a numberof recordsfor 1994which have not yet beensubmitted (and these will stillbe gratefullyreceived), and a srnallnumber of submittedrecords unfortunately appear have gone astray(e.9.
