PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS: (i) That a further £30,000 of funding (in addition to the existing £30,000 annual allocation) be made available to support the growth of social enterprise in Leicestershire. This funding will help to facilitate sharing of good practice across Leicestershire based social enterprises, practical one‐to‐one advice for those considering establishing alternative delivery models (including County Council staff) and small start‐up grants for both emerging and existing social enterprises. (ii) Produce a leaflet to provide partners, community groups and residents with more information about what the Big Society means in Leicestershire, containing examples of how groups and individuals are already taking action, and providing the necessary information/signposting to make it easy for people to find out more about how they can get involved. (iii) Map and promote existing support organisations/structures in Leicestershire to clarify the support and advice available to voluntary and community organisations wishing to get involved in Big Society initiatives. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS: Support and Training (iv) Support the growth of community‐led solutions to community problems, by identifying how the County Council and partners can build the confidence and skills of community groups. Make appropriate tools and expertise available to enable them to take charge of problems within their local area. 5 Community Forums

Leicestershire Highways is upgrading the County Councils street lighting stock to LEDs, in order to make substantial savings in energy, carbon and maintenance costs. Leicestershire County Council will be carrying out over 68,000 street light replacements across the county and are programmed to complete all installations within the next 3 years. Initially we are concentrating on the low level street lights (5 & 6m columns) which are mainly in residential areas with the high level installations (6m & above) due to commence from October this year. 2. The first low level installations were successfully carried out in Shepshed, as programmed in March this year, before a full roll-out of four installation teams started work in Loughborough, Hugglescote and Whitwick throughout April and into May. The project is progressing well and is on programme both in time and budget. 3. Details of the full construction programme for the project are being prepared in a suitable format to share with Members and residents and we anticipate this information will be available by the end of June. 4. The table below provides the implementation programme to the end of the current financial year. 2016 May Whitwick, Loughborough, Coalville June Coalville cont., Oadby & Wigston July Ravenstone, Packington, Coleorton, Ellistown, Swannington, Ibstock, Anstey,

Cooper Archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant county sections. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the organisation which undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations see below p. iv. Some entries may relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2008 but not previously reported. LEICESTER All finds and records are deposited with LCMS under the accession number cited at the end of the entry. Humberstone, Manor Farm (SK 6285 0642) John Thomas Archaeological recording of a medieval windmill mound at Manor Farm, Humberstone was undertaken by ULAS in advance of development by Gateway College. Excavation revealed the mound to consist of two deposits of clay, both associated with a phase of the mound’s development. A re-cut ditch encircled the mound and originally acted as quarry for the mound soils. Beneath the mound, well-preserved timber cross-tree foundations survived in situ within a construction slot cut directly into the natural clay. Pottery recovered from the construction slot and primary fills of each ditch cut indicated a twelfth –thirteenth century period of use for the mill. Later pottery in the final ditch fills suggest the mill ditches had become largely in-filled by the seventeenth –eighteenth century. A6.1999. Leicester Abbey (SK 585 060) Andrew Hyam and Stephen Jones In June and July of 2006 and 2007, ULAS undertook a seventh and eighth season of training excavations at the site of Leicester Abbey, for students of the University’s School of Archaeology and Ancient History.
