Fuller, Heather From: Simon Aldis Sent: 13 May 2014 19:39 To: Reviews@ Subject: re boundary changes Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear sir/ madam, I am opposed to the boundary changes that are being discussed within the Aylestone/ Saffron Lane and Ares Monsell area. As a resident of Aylestone for many years I'm aware, and proud, of the fact that the village has its own distinct identity. Of those who call ourselves residents in Aylestone, we know exactly where we mean and what our local landmarks are; to divide Aylestone between two large estates(Saffron lane and Eyres Monsell)who also have separate identities with their own individual communities, would, I believe be a retrograde step that would somehow take away from the image that I hold dear to me as a resident of Aylestone. Aylestone is distinct and separate ward, and, if anything, should be expanded, not divided! S Aldis 1 Fuller, Heather From: Paul Asher Sent: 20 May 2014 21:38 To: Reviews@ Subject: Aylestone Ward Hi, I'd like to add full support to Adam Clarkes proposed changes to the Aylestone Ward boundaries. My family and I think it makes really good sense. Yours Paul, resident. Sent from my iPhone 1 Review Officer Leicester Review The Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76–86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG Residents’ City of Leicester, Aylestone Ward Submission, 18TH May 2014 I write as a resident of Aylestone Ward to express my opposition to the new electoral ward boundaries proposed for Aylestone. I believe the draft Ward boundaries should not be adopted but amended and because • the southern part of Aylestone Ward should not separated from the north of the Ward because this would divide our Aylestone Ward and the community in two by introducing an arbitrary line to cut through the middle of the Ward • combining one part of Aylestone with Eyres Monsell and the other part of Aylestone with Saffron will further divide Aylestone and affect our community identity. For example, Aylestone Ward parents and children would be in different wards and under different boundaries resulting in a large proportion of the primary schools catchment areas being outside of the Ward boundaries, especially in the case of Granby School. • the geographic proximity argument within the proposals is very weak. Aylestone is only linked to Eyres Monsell and Saffron by adjacency. Glenhills Way divides the communities of Aylestone and Eyres Monsell. Saffron Lane is a physical barrier that separates the communities of Aylestone and Saffron • they take no account of the sense of community and identity within Aylestone in the sharing of shops and community facilities, which are physically separate from the Eyres Monsell ward. They have their own community including shops and facilities • the proposed ward boundaries do not reflect the interests and identities of the local communities in Aylestone, Saffron or • Eyres Monsell and it is hard to envisage advantages to any of the communities in the proposals • the proposals for Aylestone Ward do not deliver any specific additional benefits to the existing community in the Aylestone Ward than in the current arrangements Aylestone has its own unique heritage and environment, identity, village community, new medical centres, shops and schools which bind and unify the community in the existing ward and could only be adversely affected by the proposed mergers, new boundaries and loss of parts of the existing Aylestone ward. Aylestone should be treated as a single entity. I am sure the other communities would stand to benefit as Wards in their own right. I believe that the three wards have different needs; different requirements and do not share community services. I request that the Commission re-evaluate these draft proposals in the light of the above perspectives because it’s clear to many that these ward boundary changes would be detrimental not just for the community in Aylestone Ward but for the other communities as well. I propose that • the required mathematical ratio of councillors to electors should and could be achieved without minimising the community identity within the existing Aylestone Ward and indeed in the other affected Wards, and • establishing three separate wards with two councillors in each ward would satisfy many elector interests with no diminution in strength or voice through the representation of elected councillors. Yours faithfully Barry Blakeman 18th May 2014 Fuller, Heather From: Lee Bambury Sent: 13 May 2014 14:03 To: Reviews@ Subject: Aylestone Town Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Hello, I am writing to you in reference to the potential plans of absorbing Aylestone into the Saffron Lane estate and the Eyres Monsell estate. I moved to Aylestone 1998, this was the first home I have purchased and would like to live here for the remainder of my life, one day leaving my home to my children. I moved into Aylestone because it has a reputation of being a quiet place with history and has still retained it's village feeling, Aylestone has had a varied and interesting history and was included in the doomsday book in 1083, it has many buildings with historic value, these all go towards the village feeling of Aylestone, this would be lost if it were cut up and absorbed into two estates with poor reputations and low property values. my home is a traditional 3 bedroom semi detached, it is worth considerably more than an equivalent property in either Saffron Lane or Eyres Monsell, if it is considered that a review of boundaries is needed then it would be far more beneficial to incorporate part of Saffron Lane into Aylestone and part in to Knighton and incorporate part of Eyres Monsell into Aylestone and the rest into Glen Parva, completing this would increase house prices across the region instead of reducing them. I strongly object to Aylestone be done away without any beneficial reason. Yours sincerely Mr Lee Bambury Sent from my iPad 1 Fuller, Heather From: Egan, Helen Sent: 20 May 2014 15:28 To: Owen, David Subject: FW: Proposed Boundary Changes in the Leicester south Area ( Aylestone) Hi David, Please see the below sub from Leicester. Regards, Helen From: Anthony Beber Sent: 20 May 2014 13:06 To: Reviews@ Subject: Proposed Boundary Changes in the Leicester south Area ( Aylestone) To the Review Officer, Leicester Review, The Boundary Commission For England. Dear Sir, I have read with considerable dismay the Leicester ruling Labour Party proposals for the boundary changes in the area which embraces Aylestone, Saffron and Eyres Monsell. The implications, particularly for my ward of Aylestone, suggest that the ancient village of Aylestone will be arbitrarily divided down the middle, one part to be added to Saffron Ward and the other part to the Eyres Monsell Ward, neither of which has any social, cultural or economic connection with Aylestone. Aylestone is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1085, was originally created as a Saxon settlement (St Andrews Parish Church in Aylestone actually has some remnants of Saxon architecture within the building) We also have Aylestone Hall which was originally founded in Mediaeval times and is currently occupied as a residence for a number of families. Within the Village, which is a conservation area, forms an important part of the whole Ward and if the Ward is divided in the manner suggested, the community, established over many decades will be split with the many local organisations providing a number of community services unable to continue. This will include the three churches which currently work together, the Friends of Aylestone Gardens which continues to help maintain the status of the Garden as a GreenFlag garden,as well as providing money for the support of young people in the area to play sports during he summer months in a protected environment. In addition to these groups, there are people helping to improve the area for its residents. Parents are also worried that the changes will upset the catchment areas for schools because a large proportion of the catchment areas will become outside those currently in operation. It would also be fair to say that the residents of Saffron Ward and Eyres Monsell Ward woud not feel at one with the revised geographical changes because they will no longer have the sense of 'belonging' which is so important to the well being and welfare of an area. 1 There are many other considerations which occur not least of which is the amount of work which has gone into creating the special relationship which exists within the current Wards which would be destructive I hope that after due consideration you will decide that a considerably less arbitrary and swingeing adjustment of boundaries will be more equitable and less biased in one political than another. Hopefully yours A.L.Beber 2 Fuller, Heather From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 20 May 2014 09:50 To: Owen, David Subject: FW: boundarie change proposal From: Michaela Betts Sent: 19 May 2014 12:32 To: Reviews@ Subject: boundarie change proposal I support the current proposal. The proposal is for the whole of Saffron Lane to go into a new 'Saffron and Aylestone Park' ward. It makes more sense for people who live on Saffron Lane because the shops will be in the same ward as them.

To do so would show a total lack of reference to the local communities. We have over many years been well supported by the Knighton community, via the public Community Meetings of the Council. They have supported us to improve our area and to run events. This has included financial support via grants which receive public backing at meetings. In contrast at the Stoneygate Ward Community Meetings such applications have not received support. There have been public expressions, we feel, that are based on ethnicity and class, which has resulted in no support being forthcoming. Moving Stoneygate Shops into the Stoneygate Ward will break a link developed with one community which shows its support in tangible As some of you may know, the local Ward Councils are shifting their boundaries and this directly affects the chance of FUTURE markets at Stoneygate, as your area will now become part of the Stoneygate Ward, as opposed to the supportive Knighton Ward.

If you and do not reflect in any way those of need them please email : this Newsletter’s editorial team. [email protected] or telephone: 0116 454 1001 East-West Link Road : A Phoenix from the Ashes The East-West Link Road in its various forms has been an idea since 1916. The most recent serious attempt to build a road bridge across Leicester’s green lungs of Aylestone Meadows was in the early nineties when Bede Island was being regenerated. Fortunately, fierce local opposition and ever increasing costs caused councillors at County Hall who were then responsible for building new roads, to abandon the idea. However, Leicester City Council has been consulting about including it in the next Local Plan. The Local Plan is an attempt by the City Council to meet the needs of its citizens for homes, jobs and leisure for the next 15 years. Another round of consultation on the next stage of the Local Plan will take place later this year. The current proposed route is from Narborough Road along Evesham Road and through Aylestone Meadows to Aylestone Road. It will then cross St. Mary’s to join with Saffron Lane. A local campaign group called “End of the Road LE3” wants the City Council to remove it from any future Local Plan.

  • Leicester City Labour Group City of Leicester New Ward Boundary Narrative
    Patrick Kitterick For the attention of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Please find attached the following files in relation to Leicester City Labour Party’s submission regarding the LGBCE’s review of boundaries for Leicester City Council. -PDF Map of the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -PDF Table of the numbers for each ward and variances for the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -Narrative on Proposed New Wards -Data files supplied by Leicester City Council which I believe are compatible with LGBCE systems which give the detailed data surrounding our proposals. If this is, in any way, incompatible with the supplied maps and narrative please contact me to resolve any confusion.. The overall approach of Leicester City Labour Party has been to produce a detailed, validated, city wide proposal for Leicester. We have used the River Soar as a primary definer of boundaries in the city, we have also made greater use of the railway lines in the city as a definer of boundaries and finally we have used major roads as a point to either divide wards or build wards depending on whether they divide communities or have communities grow around them. For the necessity of providing balanced numbers we have had to use minor roads as the final definer of boundaries. Overall we have reduced the number of wards from 22 to 20 and we have kept wards co-terminus with current parliamentary boundaries, as they too provide strong community and natural boundaries.

It seeks to identify the relevant variables that are held by the local authority, to model community or neighbourhood trajectories by examining changes in such data over time as the first steps in a hierarchical approach for analysing community resilience and well-being. The outputs of these steps allow community engagement activities to be targeted. Initial results are described and key discussion points are outlined..

It also provides recommendations to the LSEP about where to invest its budget for Access Centres in Leicester City in 2005/06 and beyond. 1.3 An Access Centre is a one stop shop for community services and learning provision. Core services include adult learning courses, information technology training, child care and job and career guidance. Additional services can include a credit union, welfare and benefits advice, health education, capacity building for volunteers, job vacancy information, legal advice and signposting to other services. 1.4 The LSEP feel they lack sufficient evidence on current adult learning provision in Leicester, to make effective investment decisions. In response, they commissioned this study to identify and map where these types of services are being provided in the City.
