  • 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.

  • Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017
    NHS England Midlands and East (Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017 PGD validity There has been some confusion regarding the switch from local PGD production to the adoption of PHE national template PGDs. We have had reports of practices using national template PGDs which have been download directly from the PHE webpages, and an email sent out to warn against using an un-adopted document has unfortunately led some staff to believe that the recently supplied antenatal pertussis PGD isn’t valid. We’re sorry that this has proved confusing, but all of our communications, the information on the page above, and now on our own webpages https://www.england.nhs.uk/mids- east/our-work/ll-immunisation/, as well as in the documents themselves (template and adopted version) include wording that distinguishes between the two and spells out the legal position. Hopefully the following information will provide the necessary clarification: National templates are just that – templates. They are not PGDs, and cannot be used unless they have been authorised and adopted for use by an organisation legally permitted to do this. They are Word documents into which local text can be added to allow local authorisation to take place. Without this authorisation a non-prescribing registered health care professional would effectively be prescribing and therefore acting illegally should they administer a vaccination using the template. NHS England is able to adopt PGDs for local use. The PGD must clearly state: o the name of the authorising organisation o on whose behalf it has been authorised (i.e.

  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the people of Leicestershire and make Leicestershire the best possible place to live and work for everyone.

  • The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan
    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland. (©Dave Hitchborne and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Licence) 1: Trinity Bridge at While many of these changes have been beneficial, such as the creation of water meadows which were an important feature of the English countryside, others have had unintended side effects. For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

  • Reusable Templates for the Extraction of Knowledge
    Reusable templates for the extraction of knowledge by Paul J Palmer A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University © Paul J Palmer 2020 November 2020 Abstract ‘Big Data’ is typically noted to contain undesirable imperfections that are usually described using terminology such as ‘messy’, ‘untidy’ or ‘ragged’ requiring ‘cleaning’ as preparation for analysis. Once the data has been cleaned, a vast amount of literature exists exploring how best to proceed. The use of this pejorative terminology implies that it is imperfect data hindering analysis, rather than recognising that the encapsulated knowledge is presented in an inconvenient state for the chosen analytical tools, which in turn leads to a presumption about the unsuitability of desktop computers for this task. As there is no universally accep- ted definition of ‘Big Data’ this inconvenient starting state is described hereas‘nascent data’ as it carries no baggage associated with popular usage. This leads to the primary research question: Can an empirical theory of the knowledge extraction process be developed that guides the creation of tools that gather, transform and analyse nascent data? A secondary pragmatic question follows naturally from the first: Will data stakeholders use these tools? This thesis challenges the typical viewpoint and develops a theory of data with an under- pinning mathematical representation that is used to describe the transformation of data through abstract states to facilitate manipulation and analysis. Starting from inconvenient ‘nascent data’ which is seen here as the true start of the knowledge extraction process, data are transformed to two further abstract states: data sensu lato used to describe informally defined data; and data sensu stricto, where the data are all consistently defined, in a process which imbues data with properties that support manipulation and analysis.

  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th February 1870 - The YWCA is founded in New York City. 1940 - Tom and Jerry make their debut with Puss Gets the Boot. 1996 - IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in chess for the first time. It’s Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck (Malta) Fenkil Day (Eritrea) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History What is the bestselling novel ever, in any language? Thankfully it’s not 50 Shades, but A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (200 million copies sold). Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in literary history, including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr Micawber, Miss Havisham and Uriah Heep. ‘Dickensian London’ has entered our imagination as a real place – not that you’d like to go there. And it was today in 1836 that Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was commissioned as a monthly serial. It was an immediate success, bringing the twenty-four-year-old writer instant fame.
