Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Local Transport Plan 3 Implementation Plan 2012 – 2015 1 Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Overview OUR PLAN The third Leicestershire Local Transport Plan (LTP3) covers the whole of Leicestershire, not including Leicester City. Leicester City Council has produced a separate plan that covers Leicester City, the area for which it is responsible. To ensure that the two plans align we worked closely with Leicester City Council on the development of LTP3, and we will continue to do so over the plan period as we implement our LTP3s. This will include building on joint working arrangements for scheme development, delivery and monitoring. This, the second Implementation Plan for Leicestershire, sets out the actions, schemes and measures that we propose to deliver in 2012/13. Please contact Leicester City Council for information on the transport measures that they propose to deliver in 2012/13. OUR SERVICES Highways are managed by local highway authorities and the Highways Agency (HA). In Leicestershire the HA is responsible for motorways and those A roads which have a national or regional significance, such as the M1 and A42. Leicestershire County Council is responsible for all other publicly maintained roads and the management of transport in Leicestershire. We manage and maintain over 4,100 km (2,500 miles) of roads and 3,000 km (1,875 miles) of Rights of Way. The Environment and Transport (E&T) Department delivers a wide range of services, which ensure that we manage our transport and highways effectively. These services include: • flood risk management • grass cutting • highway maintenance • highway signing • management of incidents and emergencies on the highway • on-street parking • road accident reduction • traffic management schemes • winter maintenance We also ensure that there are safe and reliable alternatives to car travel. We provide public and community transport and encourage more people to walk and cycle. In addition we work with district councils and developers to support the delivery of new developments, ensuring that they are properly integrated into the transport system. 2 Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Contents Introduction 3 What we are seeking to achieve Some of our achievements in 2011/12 4 Awards Service Delivery Going Forward – updating our Implementation Plan 5 Overall priorities and general emphasis Factors affecting this years update Equality and diversity Transport and the environment Funding Action Plan 14 To support the economy and population growth To encourage active and sustainable travel To improve the connectivity and accessibility of our transport system To improve road safety To manage the condition and resilience of our transport system To manage the impact of our transport system on quality of life Service development Delivering our priorities 31 Our organisation Workforce planning Working with others Working with the public and stakeholders Performance management Risk management Communication campaign Appendices 36 Appendix A 2012/13 Capital Programme Appendix B Performance indicators Appendix C LTP3 Implementation Plan Risk Assessment Appendix D 2010/11 Departmental Annual Performance Report Appendix E Corporate Environment Strategy 2011 - 2021 Appendix F Departmental Environment Plan 3 Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Introduction 1.1 Welcome to the second Implementation Plan for our Local Transport Plan (LTP3). 1.2 LTP3 sets out how we will work with partners to manage and improve transport provision in Leicestershire. LTP3 consists of two parts: • a long-term fifteen year strategy (2011-2026), which sets out what we want to achieve • a short-term Implementation Plan (a rolling three-year period), which sets out what we will do to deliver the strategy Our transport vision for Leicestershire (2011-2026) is for: “Leicestershire to be recognised as a place that has, with the help of its residents and businesses, a first class transport system that enables economic and social travel in ways that improve people’s health, safety and prosperity, as well as their environment and their quality of life.” WHAT WE ARE SEEKING TO ACHIEVE 1.3 Our LTP3 Strategy outlines what we are hoping to achieve (the transport outcomes), including: • efficient, easy and affordable access to key services, particularly by walking, cycling and public transport • more consistent, predictable and reliable journey times for people and goods • improved satisfaction with our transport system • more people walking, cycling and using public transport as part of their daily journeys • efficient access to the natural environment (for instance parks and open spaces), where possible by walking and cycling • a reduction in the number of road casualties • an effectively managed and well maintained transport system and assets • improved resilience of our transport system to the effects of climate change • reduced impact from the transport system on the environment and individuals 1.4 These transport outcomes will assist the delivery of Leicestershire’s wider economic, social and environmental priorities, which are set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy (see Delivering our priorities for more details). 4 Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Some of our achievements in 2011/12 2.1 During 2011/12 we have continued to deliver high quality services. This has ensured that the highway network in Leicestershire remains amongst the best in the country. Our services have been recognised nationally and we were named as the 2011 Transport Local Authority of the Year at the National Transport Awards. 2.2 We delivered over £4m of schemes to improve road safety, to encourage more people to walk and cycle and use public transport and to tackle traffic delays. 2.3 We also invested nearly £10m to maintain our roads, footways, cycleways, footpaths, bridges, traffic signals and street lighting. 2.4 We opened another park and ride facility in Leicestershire in July 2011 at Birstall. This joint City / County Council project provides frequent bus services to the city centre, cutting congestion, accidents and pollution. It was funded by the government and the developer Jelson Homes. There are also two other joint park and ride sites, which are located at Enderby and Meynell’s Gorse. All three sites are co-ordinated to maximise benefits. 2.5 Working with Charnwood Borough Council, we have completed the Loughborough Eastern Gateway link road and improvements to the Loughborough train station forecourt. This will promote better access to the station, improve the environment and improve passenger interchange. 2.6 We have also been successful in securing funding from the Department for Transport for the Loughborough Town Centre Integrated Transport Scheme. This will provide £15 million to complete the inner relief road, supporting economic regeneration, making environmental improvements and improving public transport. It will also reduce pollution and cut accidents. It is anticipated that work will start in autumn 2012 and be completed by spring 2015. 2.7 Our Choose How You Move campaign helps people to get fit and save money, it helps the environment and it reduces the number of cars on the road. As part of the 2011 campaign we have carried out adult cycle training and trialled the first ever school pool bike scheme. To celebrate Bike Week an estimated 2,500 children rode their bicycles to school. In addition pupils from 12 primary schools competed in the final of our inter-schools cycling skills competition. 2.8 Earlier in 2011, we successfully worked with Leicester City Council to secure funding of £4.4m from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund for the central Leicestershire area. This money will provide a wide range of sustainable transport measures to help support economic growth, whilst reducing carbon emissions. 2.9 The condition of Leicestershire’s roads remains amongst the best in country. In 2011 we were successful in securing an additional £2.4million from government to repair the damage caused by the sub-zero winter temperatures. This meant that in addition to our usual routine resurfacing programme we could complete a £4million repair programme on roads damaged by the exceptionally low temperatures. 2.10 We have continued to progress our street lighting dimming and switch-off programme. It is anticipated that we will save over £220,000 from our annual energy bills by the end of March 2012 and save 3,000 tonnes of carbon by 2014. 5 Leicestershire Local Transport Plan 3 - Implementation Plan 2012-2015 Going forward – updating our Implementation Plan 3.1 This section sets out the issues that have influenced the development of our 2012/13 Implementation Plan. OVERALL PRIORITIES AND GENERAL EMPHASIS 3.2 Our priorities for the LTP3 long term strategy remain unchanged. We will: • support the economy and population growth • encourage active and sustainable travel • improve the connectivity and accessibility of our transport system • improve road safety • manage the condition and resilience of our transport system • manage the impact of our transport system on quality of life • deliver further improvements as part of service development efforts 3.3 Our LTP3 Strategy also indicates what we will focus on (our general emphasis) to help deliver it. We will continue to place emphasis on: • getting the most out of our existing transport system - improving its performance, safety, reliability and resilience

  • Coalville Fringe Assessment
    Urban Fringe 1: Western edge of Thringstone and New Swannington 1: View from School Lane 2: View from Red Hill Lane Element Assessment Score The Coalfield: Gently undulating landscape with effects of past and present coal and clay working. It displays a relatively dense pattern of former mining towns and villages characterised by 19th century mining terraces which follow the roads. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland although away from settlements the land is mostly arable. There is generally low woodland cover. The land contains areas of restored land, some including establishing heathland, once far more extensive. Around Coalville the landscape is influenced by Bardon 21 warehousing, Bardon quarry and other light industrial development. Bardon Hill and quarry are features within views. The assessment notes that the land is part of the National Forest. Northern tip is part of Charnwood Forest: The underlying pre-Cambrian rocks result in a varied, hilly landform with exposed crags and rocky knolls and fast-flowing streams, resulting in a distinctive County Landscape character. The area has a high concentration of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland, including many ancient woodland sites, hedges and hedgerow trees, some of which is unmanaged. The character area area is characterised by an intimate mixture of woodland and farmland in mixed arable and pasture uses. The area’s acidic soils support pockets of heathland vegetation, particularly around rocky outcrops, where the land has never been taken into cultivation. There is variable field patterns, with irregular fields often bounded by mixed hedges contrasted with long narrow rectilinear fields with stone walls.

  • TT0607-84 TT No.84: Andrew Gallon
    TT0607-84 TT No.84: Andrew Gallon - Tues 5th December 2006; Coalville Town v Stratford Town; Midland Alliance; Res: 1-4; Att: 62; Admission: £5; Programme: £1 (32pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***. The appeal of the essentially modern Owen Street Sports Ground lies in how it reflects the community from which it was spawned. Coalville, a town with its sleeves rolled up, was once the beating heart of the small Leicestershire coalfield and it is appropriate that landscaped spoil heaps dominate the ground on two sides and the winding gear of the defunct Snibston Colliery - now a major tourist attraction - is clearly visible behind another. There was nothing here until a mining engineer from nearby Coleorton, one William Shenton, discovered coal in 1828 after which Coalville become something of a boom town, particularly once the Leicester to Swannington Railway, the first public line in the Midlands, had opened and the number of pits mushroomed. Bust could have followed when the last mine closed during the 1980s but the town, like others of its ilk, is steadily reinventing itself and proving there is life after the abdication of King Coal. The football club dates back to 1926 and its formation as Ravenstone Miners Athletic - hence the team's Ravens nickname - but it really took off with the move to Coalville for the 1995-6 season after parish council planners refused permission for floodlights at Ravenslea in their home village. The ground, a short walk from the high street, is spick and span. Access is rather unpromising down an unmade lane alongside dreary industrial units but it opens out to reveal a well-appointed little set-up.

  • A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland by Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013
    A Review of Freshwater Fish in Leicestershire and Rutland By Andrew Heaton, County Recorder for Fish, 2013 1. Introduction 1.1 The Historic View Lacking the trout-haunted chalk streams or salmon-spawning upland rivers, Leicestershire and Rutland (L&R) have tended to be little regarded in fishery terms. Even the main coarse rivers (Soar, Welland) were not seen as measuring up to the Severn or Thames. In “The Compleat Angler”, Izaak Walton’s only reference to Leicestershire is to name it as one of the counties through which the Trent flows (forming the county boundary for a relatively short distance near Castle Donington). 1.2 Previous Studies There appear to have been few previous reviews or studies of fish populations related specifically to Leicestershire and/or Rutland. Browne (1889) listed L&R’s fish (also including details of fossil fish from the two counties). The wording used in the 1889 document was repeated almost exactly in Browne’s contribution to the Victoria County History (1907), though there is differentiation of River and Brook Lamprey in the 1889 publication, a distinction that was slightly confused in the VCH. Through the 20th Century, fish surveys were undertaken by the various water authorities, providing the information relevant to Leicestershire and Rutland mapped in Maitland (1972) and Davies et al (2004). Onions (2008, 2009) gave an overview of Leicestershire fish. 1.3 Recording Fish Whilst the bulk of fish surveys are undertaken by Environment Agency (EA) fisheries teams, utilising techniques such as netting and electrofishing, other people are recording fish and generating distribution maps.

    CABINET – 29TH JUNE 2004 PROPOSAL FOR THE FORMAL DESIGNATION OF MOIRA JUNCTION AND SALTERSFORD WOOD NATURE RESERVES AS LOCAL NATURE RESERVES REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES PART A Purpose of the Report 1. The purpose of this report is to consider the proposal that Moira Junction and Saltersford Wood Nature Reserves be formally designated as Local Nature Reserves. Recommendation 2. It is recommended that the formal designation of Moira Junction and Saltersford Wood Nature Reserves as Local Nature Reserves be approved. Reasons for Recommendation 3. The sites fulfil English Nature’s requirements for Local Nature Reserves, and with designation would be protected from development or damage of any kind in the future. The County Council, in the Leicestershire Nature Conservation Strategy, is committed to a programme of Local Nature Reserve designations. This fits into the national framework set out in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan which states that "The government and the agencies working with local authorities will encourage the designation of more Local Nature Reserves". Timetable for Decision including Scrutiny 4. Formal designation will follow approval by Cabinet and agreement by English Nature. Policy Framework and Previous Decisions 5. The Leicestershire Structure Plan 1991-2006, Explanatory Memorandum 1 (1994) includes a Statement of Intent that the County Council will "promote the establishment of Local Nature Reserves on its land and encourage District Councils to do likewise". 2 6. The Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Structure Plan 1996-2016 Written statement (as proposed to be adopted, July 2003) states that "Measures will be taken to promote natural biodiversity; protect, conserve and manage sites of ecological importance and protected species and their habitats; and enhance the wider ecological value of the environment."

  • The Importance of Green Spaces to East Midlands Communities
    Report Number 567 Nature for people: the importance of green spaces to East Midlands communities English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 567 Nature for people: the importance of green spaces to East Midlands communities Simon Bell, Nina Morris, Catherine Findlay, Penny Travlou, Alicia Montarzino, Diana Gooch, Gemma Gregory and Catharine Ward Thompson. January 2004 You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2004 Executive summary This report describes the results of research into the importance of nature to East Midlands’ communities, as experienced through publicly accessible green spaces. It was undertaken for English Nature by the OPENspace Research Centre based at Edinburgh College of Art/Heriot Watt University. The research was undertaken over the spring and summer of 2003 using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies (section 1.1). Aim of the Project The aim of the project was to specify the contribution that “nature” in green spaces make to people’s social well-being by examining the use people make of, and the feelings that they have towards, a selected number of artificial and natural green space sites throughout the East Midlands. As this was a regional study, the sites were selected to fall more or less equally in each of the region’s counties. Its findings may be significant at a national level as well, having relevance to other UK regions (section 1.3).

  • Country Parks Budget Savings 2007- 08 to 2009 -10 Implementation Progress
    E COMMUNITY SERVICES SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 9 JULY 2007 COUNTRY PARKS BUDGET SAVINGS 2007- 08 TO 2009 -10 IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES Purpose of Report 1. This report updates progress with the three elements of the proposed savings in Country Parks over the period 2007-08 to 2009-10 in Sites, Income and Operational Costs Policy Framework and Previous Decisions 2. The County Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy includes a requirement to save £130,000 from the Country Parks budget by 2009-10. These savings are phased such that £45,000 is planned to be delivered in 2007-08, rising to £85,000 in 2008-09 and then rising again to the full £130,000 in 2009-10. The saving in 2007-08 is to be funded from increased income. Background 3. SITES. The intention is to reduce our Country Parks portfolio by 6 or 7 sites and thereby reduce staff and maintenance commitments. Whilst we have provisionally listed the sites below we have commissioned the Resources Department to undertake a review of our holdings to consider which sites should be formally considered. The disposal of sites is subject to consultation and negotiation with appropriate organisations with the potential to take on these sites and it is hoped that public access would be maintained, where possible. The current position on our draft list is as follows: SITE LIKELY ISSUES LIKELY ACQUISITION DISPOSAL BY: DATE Sarah’s Wood Heart of the A declining dowry 1/4/08 National Forest will be needed Foundation over 4 to 5 years Lount Local Leicestershire & May be long Last quarter Nature Reserve Rutland Wildlife lease disposal 2007/08 Trust rather than freehold depending on liabilities assessed by the Trust Altar Stones Leicestershire & Trust already own Last quarter Rutland Wildlife Blacksmith’s 2007/08 Trust Field next door Crow Mills Oadby & Wigston BC happy subject First quarter Picnic Area BC to budget position 2008/09 Sutton Cheney British Legal issues on Last quarter Wharf Waterways titles 2007/08 A511 Coalville (2 Open Market First quarter sites) 2008/09 4.
