  • NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New War Memorial in The
    NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New war memorial in the making for Plungar: Tim Chamberlain of the East Midlands branch of the Western Front Association has kindly provided me with information on a fundraising effort to install a memorial to the casualties of a plane crash near Plungar in Melton district. If you would like to be put in touch, please let me know. A public meeting is to be held on 26th April at 7.30pm in Plungar Village Hall. The memorial is due to be unveiled on Saturday 22nd September, with service at 2pm at Plungar Church. You can read more about the crash in the article provided by Tim Chamberlain below. Veteran experiences: I’m glad to be working with the Leicester branch of the British Korean Veteran’s Association on some oral history recordings, which I hope to start in the next few months. I would like to use this to interest schools across Leicestershire in hosting some of the Korean veterans who can speak about their experiences to the students. 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice on 27th July 1953; this is the only thing that technically prevents the fighting from continuing to this day, as a peace settlement was never reached. Members of the Leicester branch were interviewed on the subject of National Service at an event at Donington le Heath Manor House (right) last November, which as you will see in the events section is being run once again, on 17th June. If you would like to have a table at this event, please contact [email protected] or myself [email protected] “Stand by Your Beds!” an event at Donington le Heath on 17th June, is looking for groups and veterans’ associations to take part.

  • • in the Last Newsletter, It Was Clarified That the Highways Management Group Had Asked All Parish Councils to Express Any
    Issue: November 2014 Welcome to the November edition of the Parish Clerks’ Highways newsletter. We will use this newsletter to provide you with updates on highways maintenance, reporting defects and the Customer Service Centre. IN THIS ISSUE: Next year’s grass cutting Winter preparedness Highway maintenance funding spend Highway forums Salt bin update News for your Parish Budget cuts in the Medium Term Useful contacts / Stay up to Financial Strategy (MTFS) date Next year’s grass cutting In the last newsletter, it was clarified that the Highways Management Group had asked all parish councils to express any interest that they may have in carrying out the urban grass cutting in their own area. This was on the basis that Leicestershire County Council was prepared to allocate to parish councils the same level of funding per cut that was provided to the outgoing Highway Works Alliance contractor (Lafarge Tarmac) for a minimum of five cuts per season. Any parish council that was interested in this offer was at liberty to consider funding as many extra cuts as it wanted to undertake locally, above what will become the standard level of service for Leicestershire. In reality, not as many parish councils have chosen to enter more extensive discussions on this opportunity as expected. The current situation regarding those parish councils that have indicated a desire to cut the grass, no desire to cut the grass and are still deliberating over the offer available is set out in the following table. If Parish Clerks believe that the information set out in that table is incorrect, please contact Debbi Payne via email at [email protected] by 30 November 2014.

Page 3 This Travel Pack has been provided for you to browse through and find out about your local travel options. It aims to provide you with information on local facilities and transport services available, including details of how you can access them conveniently. WHAT IS A TRAVEL PLAN? The purpose of a Travel Plan is to demonstrate a commitment to minimising the impact of travel on the environment by reducing the level of unnecessary travel and encouraging those who have to travel to do so in a more environmentally friendly way. The overarching aim of the Travel Plan is to promote greener, cleaner travel choices, reducing reliance on the private car. The Travel Plan is primarily aimed at the journey to and from work or journeys made during the course of the working day. It also considers travel issues relating to visitors. A Travel plan can bring a range of benefits, not only to the community but to staff and the business implementing the plan. Benefits include a healthier, more productive workforce, cost savings to staff, reduced demand for on-site parking and less congestion locally. A travel plan is a “live” on-going document, and as such are continually reviewed and updated. All occupying companies of Hinckley Park will be encouraged to adhere to the principles of sustainable transport set out in the Travel Plan and issue this Travel Pack to all employees via the dedicated Travel Plan Coordinator The principal objectives of the Travel Plan are: Objective 1 – to develop a safe, convenient, efficient and attractive transport infrastructure which encourages and facilitates the use of walking, cycling and public transport and which minimises reliance on and discourages unnecessary use of private cars.
