  • Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns
    Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns INTRODUCTION 1. The Council presented a Submission on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on 11 July 2017 following approval at Full Council. On 25 July the LGBCE wrote to the Council advising that it was minded to recommend that 26 County Councillors should be elected to Rutland County Council in future in accordance with the Council’s submission. 2. The second stage of the review concerns warding arrangements. The Council size will be used to determine the average (optimum) number of Electors per councillor to be achieved across all wards of the authority. This number is reached by dividing the electorate by the number of Councillors on the authority. The LGBCE initial consultation on Warding Patterns takes place between 25 July 2017 and 2 October 2017. 3. The Constitution Review Working Group is Cross Party member group. The terms of reference for the Constitution Review Working Group (CRWG) (Agreed at Annual Council 8 May 2017) provide that the working group will review arrangements, reports and recommendations arising from Boundary and Community Governance reviews. Therefore, the CRWG undertook to develop a proposal on warding patterns which would then be presented to Full Council on 11 September 2017 for approval before submission to the LGBCE. BACKGROUND 4. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England technical guidance states that an electoral review will be required when there is a notable variance in representation across the authority. A review will be initiated when: • more than 30% of a council’s wards/divisions having an electoral imbalance of more than 10% from the average ratio for that authority; and/or • one or more wards/divisions with an electoral imbalance of more than 30%; and • the imbalance is unlikely to be corrected by foreseeable changes to the electorate within a reasonable period.

  • Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2
    Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2 Mountain bike (or walking) route from the Blue Ball around Leighfield and back. This peaceful route takes you up and down a set of hills and valleys to the south of Braunston. The first couple of miles are on-road, the rest is predominantly on well-surfaced tracks but also on wide, grassed ways. There are gates, but no stiles to cross. The Route: Ride Time 1 hour, Elevation Gain: 705 ft., Distance 7 miles Park near the Blue Ball (1) then, if you're standing at the pub looking towards the churchyard, head off left and then immediately downhill to the right, following the signpost to ‘Leighfield and Ridlington’. Passing the stream to your left, keep on the road and head up the hill. You are now on Wood Lane which you will need to follow for about another mile. At the top of the hill (2), follow the road left and then go down the next hill. As you cycle up the following hill, you will see road sign near the crest. At the sign, you will see that the right-hand turn is signposted ‘Leighfield Lodge, No Through Road’ (3), take this turning and carry on. When you come across a gate in the road (4), go through the gap just to the right and continue heading straight down the tree-lined avenue that is Leighfield Way. At the bottom, you will find yourself at Leigh Lodge (5). Here you must follow the zig-zag in the road, left and then right.

  • Royal Forest Trail
    Once there was a large forest on the borders of Rutland called the Royal Forest of Leighfield. Now only traces remain, like Prior’s Coppice, near Leighfield Lodge. The plentiful hedgerows and small fields in the area also give hints about the past vegetation cover. Villages, like Belton and Braunston, once deeply situated in the forest, are square shaped. This is considered to be due to their origin as enclosures within the forest where the first houses surrounded an open space into which animals could be driven for their protection and greater security - rather like the covered wagon circle in the American West. This eventually produced a ‘hollow-centred’ village later filled in by buildings. In Braunston the process of filling in the centre had been going on for many centuries. Ridlington betrays its forest proximity by its ‘dead-end’ road, continued only by farm tracks today. The forest blocked entry in this direction. Indeed, if you look at the 2 ½ inch O.S map you will notice that there are no through roads between Belton and Braunston due to the forest acting as a physical administrative barrier. To find out more about this area, follow this trail… You can start in Oakham, going west out of town on the Cold Overton Road, then 2nd left onto West Road towards Braunston. Going up the hill to Braunston. In Braunston, walk around to see the old buildings such as Cheseldyn Farm and Quaintree Hall; go down to the charming little bridge over the River Gwash (the stream flowing into Rutland Water).
