  • Green Space Strategy Rugby Borough Council BOROUGH UGBCOUNCIL Making Green Space Your Place R Y March 2014 Foreword
    2014 - 2024 Green Space Strategy Rugby Borough Council BOROUGH UGBCOUNCIL Making Green Space Your Place R Y March 2014 Foreword The Borough of Rugby has some superb green spaces that everyone can be proud of. They are places where people can relax, enjoy nature, play or take part in sport or recreation. They are essential for the health and well-being of the Borough. However, there is more that can be done to improve the quality of our green spaces so that a greater diversity of people can visit and enjoy them. We know there is a high level of support for green spaces, at a time when they have never been under so much pressure. The Green Space Strategy for Rugby sets out proposals for how existing green spaces can be improved to be safer, cleaner, more accessible, and more sustain- able, especially within increased economic uncertainty. This Green Space Strategy is a key step towards protecting and improving Rugby’s green spac- es. It provides a vision and clear objectives for how the Council and its partners would like to see green spaces planned and managed for the next ten years. Some of the improvements proposed in this strategy will take time but this is a clear direction of travel. Improving Rugby’s green spaces will also require the support and commitment of the whole community – there are many ways in which everyone can help to improve our green spaces. I hope that you will play your part in helping everyone who lives and works in our Borough to achieve our shared vision to make Green Space Your Place in the Borough of Rugby.

  • The Borough of Rugby Covers an Area of 87,949 Acres in Warwickshire
    THE BOROUGH OF RUGBY The Borough of Rugby is situated in east Warwickshire and its central position provides the ideal location for industry and commerce. It is easily accessible by road, being at the hub of the Midlands motorway network, with access to both the M1 and M6. Leicester, Northampton, Coventry, Warwick and Stratford-upon- Avon are also only a short distance away. There are also fast, regular rail services to Birmingham, Manchester and London. Rugby is one of the very few places in the world to give its name to an international sport. It was in 1823 that William Webb Ellis, then a pupil at Rugby School, first broke the rules and picked up the ball. A statue commemorating this famous action stands in front of the school, whilst to the rear is the Close where the event took place. The Heritage Trail of bronze rugby footballs has been set out throughout the town, and each football commemorates a famous player or event in the history of the game. The town is home to three museums. Rugby School museum has a wealth of memorabilia. The Rugby Football Museum is full of artefacts relating to the game of rugby football and is housed in the building in which Gilberts world famous footballs were traditionally made and which is now the home of the Webb Ellis organisation. Rugby is proud of its striking Art Gallery, Museum and Library building. It houses the highly regarded Rugby art collection and the Roman site of Tripontium display, as well as exhibiting the social history of the Borough.

    National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
