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. This will include the sensors, smartplug and sleep sensor. Who can take part? The pilot is for people with dementia who are living at home. The pilot will operate in Charnwood; North West Leicestershire; Hinckley and Bosworth; Blaby; Oadby and Wigston. A family member, friend or carer must be willing to use the App on their smartphone or tablet. The person taking part needs to understand and agree to use the system and who the information is shared with. A best interests decision will need to be made for people that lack the mental capacity to decide this for themselves. What happens at the end of the pilot? The pilot will end after six months and the free service will stop. We will contact you before the end of the pilot to talk to you about what to do next. There will be two options available to you: • Pay privately for the service as a separate arrangement with MySense or • We can put you in touch with local services in your area for assistive technology support To find out more about the pilot, please email: [email protected] or telephone 0116 305 0017 between 10:00am to 2:00pm Monday to Friday www.mysense.ai T0831.

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.

East Midlands
Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.

Planning for Climate Change
www.itpower.co.uk Planning for Climate Change: Executive Summary May 2008 The Planning for Climate Change Project was initiated in December 2007 to provide evidence to underpin the preparation of future planning policy relating to climate change in seven local authority areas of Leicestershire and Rutland: Blaby District Council, Harborough District Council, Hinckley and Bosworth District Council, Melton Borough Council, North West District Council, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council and Rutland County Council. There are three key parts to the project: 1) Climate Change Assessment of Core Strategy Strategic Options 2) Renewable Energy Opportunities œ Quantification of the potential for renewable energy in each of the seven local authority areas 3) Energy Efficiency Recommendations for New Developments - An assessment of the extent that it may be technically and economically possible to expect new buildings to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations. Climate Change Assessment of Development options Scientific evidence leaves us in no doubt that human activity is the primary driver of the observed changes in climate. The main human influence on global climate is emissions of the key greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. Energy use in buildings accounts for 40% of the UK‘s total greenhouse gas emissions1. Emissions resulting from personal transport also make an important contribution. Local planning policies offer the opportunity to reduce these emissions and to ensure opportunities for sustainable energy are maximised. Climate change is expected to result in more extreme weather events such as droughts and flooding including within the East Midlands region where by 2059 there could be up to 13% more rainfall in winter and 18% less rainfall in summer.
