Leicestershire County Council Election Results 1973-2009 Leicestershire County Council Election Results 1973-2009 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

    Community facilities: Roger (coordinator), Steve. Objectives: • To improve the health services and health facilities for the parish. • To ensure adequate provision of, and improved access to, community and recreational facilities. • To ensure sufficient capacity for children living in Rothley to access primary and junior education within the parish Education a) Schools The Rothley Church of England Primary School (Academy) is located at Burrow Drive, Rothley, Leicestershire LE77RZ (http://www.rothley.leics.sch.uk). The school capacity is 420 children across 14 classes. At the time of writing (Oct 2016) there are 401 children enrolled. The admission policy was changed with effect from the Autumn term of 2016-2017 to bring in a cap of 60 per year group to ensure a maximum of 30 per class. Prior to moving to its new site on Burrow Drive the school admitted children from out of the catchment area but because of the growing number of families in Rothley it is expected to be full with catchment area children in the future. When the new school building was first proposed by the planners at Charnwood Borough Council there was a possible option to build four more classrooms on the site. However, funds were not available and the additional classrooms were not built. This is still a possible future option should the demand for places dictate it and if the funds were made available. There is no senior school in Rothley and students from the primary school go on to schools beyond the parish, as follows: • Rawlins 34 (Loughborough Rd, Quorn, Loughborough LE12 8DY) • De Lisle 12 (Thorpe Hill, Loughborough LE11 4SQ) • Cedars 4 (Wanlip Lane, Birstal, Leicester LE4 4GH) • Humphrey Perkins 2 (Cotes Rd, Barrow upon Soar, Loughborough LE12 8JU) Some concern was expressed at a consultation event that the present school is not large enough to cope with the anticipated demand from new housing developments.

  • Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar the Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar
    TheArchaeology of Barrow upon Soar The Archaeology of Barrow upon Soar Barrow is renowned for its marine fossils, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. These date to the Jurassic period, 150-200 million years ago, long before man existed. The fi rst evidence for man in and around Barrow is from the Palaeolithic period (Old Stone Age) which started 800,000 years ago. Archaeology is defi ned in the dictionary as “the study of man’s past by scientifi c analysis of the material remains of his cultures” whilst history is “the discipline of recording and interpreting past events”, implying the use of documentary evidence. So what archaeological evidence is there? Evidence of the past comes in many forms:- • Stones, mostly fl int used as tools • Pottery • Metalwork & coins • Wooden items • Leather, furs and skins • Earthworks and buildings There are also hints in the landscape and vegetation that can suggest buried features such as pits, ditches and buried stonework from walls or foundations. To protect the remaining archaeology from damage or abuse some of the locations in this document are kept deliberately vague. If you want to know more please ask. Prehistory Prehistory covers most of our past from 800,000 in the Palaeolithic to 2000 years ago at the end of the Iron Age. Few items remain as buildings and many tools were made from wood or leather/skins which have not survived. Pottery is fi rst seen in Britain from the Neolithic (New Stone Age) which starts about 6000 years ago. However, in Barrow, pottery only survives from the Bronze Age.

  • Sileby Meeting Responses No Question Answer 1 I Recently
    Sileby Meeting Responses No Question Answer 1 I recently stumbled upon this article and wondered if you could ask if it has EA any bearing on the situation within Sileby and the surrounding areas The computer simulated hydraulic Modelling for the Soar Valley regarding the flooding. As I read and understand it all works that had been Improvement Scheme showed that no further works were required completed ended with Pillings Lock and not carried on through to upstream of Quorn itself and the first radial gate structure was Cossington as the original plan. only required at Pillings and not at Cossington as initially thought, this was because the river valley is very wide upstream of Pillings I may have read it completely wrong, but would this work have been carried and there is lots of natural active floodplain land to take the flood on and not stopped would it have made a big difference to Sileby? As flows adequately. barrow upon Soar copes well with flooding now compared to quite a few years back. There is little impact on the flood risk to Sileby from the River Soar itself and this small impact will only occur when the River Soar is in http://www.environmentdata.org/archive/ealit:2390/OBJ/20000936.pdf lager floods greater than 1:50yr as the river Soar will hold some water back in the Joint flood plain area of the River Soar and Sileby Brook which is mainly downstream of the properties in the village on the farmland and Sileby is therefore really only at major flood risk from the Sileby Brook itself.
