We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • County Councillor Annual Report
    County Councillor Annual Report This report summarises the activities of the following member of the County Council during Name of Councillor Mr N J Rushton CC 1) Electoral Division activities Main Activities and the impact during the past year: The 2018/19 civic year at County Hall has been eventful. We’re now halfway through the current term, preparing for the County elections in 2021. On top of my County Council duties as Leader of the Council representing the strategic interests of all the residents in Leicestershire, I try to attend all my parish councils of Ashby-de-la Zouch, Belton, Breedon on the Hill, Coleorton, Isley cum Langley, Long Whatton, Normanton le Heath, Osgathorpe, Packington, Staunton Harold, Swannington and Worthington, on a regular basis. Most of the issues residents raise with me are planning, environment and development related, but increasingly, I’ve found residents are concerned with housing pressures, speeding traffic, inconsiderate parking, access to local schools, school transport, waste disposal, health and social care issues, infrastructure needed to support development, such as superfast broadband, schools and road improvements. I hold regular meetings with our local MP Andrew Bridgen throughout the year. We work closely together to try and resolve the issues and casework raised. Our work on lobbying Government for a fairer way to fund future local government spending has yielded some results, not only a full Government review on fairer funding, but also a review on business rates distribution and their retention locally. This work is ongoing as uncertainty in Government and Brexit continues to affect the domestic policy agenda.

  • Packington: Early History - BC to 11Th Century
    Author: Adrian Mongredien Homecroft Drive Packington LE65 1WG 29/02/20 Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century Packington Village History Group PVHG Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century by Adrian Mongredien Page 2 of 24 Packington: Early History - BC to 11th Century Author's Foreword My joining the local Village History Group a couple of years ago encouraged me to look at “English” history from a different perspective; that of our local Packington community. How, and when, did it come into existence? How did it fit into the wider world of that era? How did its inhabitants live and survive its turbulent beginnings, and what have we inherited from the various tribes who have lived here before us? The setting up of the Packington Village History Group (PVHG) website at https://pvhg.uk gave impetus to the concept of a written history, as it became clear that a website provided the possibility for the continuous updating of any new local history information as it became available. The final prompt was my recent discovery that, under new government guidelines, history is no longer taught as a compulsory subject, or in a chronological format in the secondary school years. How would the next generation find out about our local ancestors and how they had coped with the huge challenges which faced them? I decided to unfold my laptop and attempt to put some answers to some of these questions on our new website. As I compiled my information. I realised that there are a dwindling number of us left who still think primarily in “imperial measurements”, are comfortable with furlongs, chains, yards, feet and inches, or perhaps struggle with a metrical world, hence the section on Anglo-Saxon measurements.

  • December 1913
    Coalville Times - December 1913 Friday December 5th 1913 (Issue 1137) Local News The children’s window recently unveiled in Whitwick Parish Church cost £32 6s, which sum has been paid and a balance of £1 4s 2d, handed to the Colliers’ and Quarrymen’s memorial window fund. Sequel to collision at Whitwick Damages awarded at Ashby Before the Registrar, Mr W. A. Musson at the Ashby County Court, yesterday, Isaac Hall, pony driver, of Thringstone sued Bert Harrison, baker, Whitwick, for £32 18s 6d damages for injuries and damage to a bicycle alleged to be due to the negligent driving or management of a horse by the plaintiff’s servant, on September 13th last at Whitwick. Mr T. E. Jesson (Ashby) was for the plaintiff and Mr J. J. Sharp (Coalville) for the defendant. Plaintiff said he was 18 years of age and he worked in the Whitwick pit. On the date named he was riding a bicycle on his way from work with two others named Bird and Haywood. Before approaching the Brook’s Lane corner he kept on the left side of the road and rang his bell, but at the corner he was run into by a horse and knocked off his machine. A youth named Joseph Roulstone was riding the horse, which was galloping. Complainant had since been under the doctor. He was a member of an approved society, but had not yet received any benefit. The bicycle was badly damaged and he did not think it was worth repairing. His wages averaged 24s per week.
