    12 October 2011 Thirty-Fourth Mayor's Report to the Assembly

    London Assembly MQT – 12 October 2011 Thirty-fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly This is my thirty-fourth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 1 September to 28 September 2011. Executive Summary Bernard Hogan-Howe appointed as the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. On 12 September, after interviewing the final four candidates with the Home Secretary, Bernard Hogan-Howe was appointed the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. Londoners deserve strong and dynamic leadership at the helm of the country’s largest and most industrious police force, and I’m pleased to welcome the appointment of Bernard as the man who will deliver the firm, strategic lead our great city needs. Improving the Management of Disruptive Roadworks On 21 September, I announced a new onslaught on disruptive roadworks on London's streets by asking Londoners to "name and shame" those companies who blight London with disruptive or neglected roadworks, causing hours of unnecessary frustration to journeys every day. I urged Londoners to use a new reporting system to tell Transport for London (TfL) when roadworks are not up to scratch so they can take action with the relevant organisations and get things moving again. To help Londoners report disruptive or badly managed roadworks, TfL and I have updated the 'Reportit' system on the TfL website, to allow people to identify and report issues quicker. By visiting www.tfl.gov.uk/roadworks, or by tweeting @report_it with the hashtag #roadworks, complaints can be sent directly to the highway authority responsible, ensuring that direct and swift action can be taken.

  • Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal

    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal

    UNCLASSIFIED Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic part of the Midlands 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 of which are 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 (by rail). 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 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. Local businesses also note the difficulties in filling their 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 predicts 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.

    The Legends, Folklore and Dialect of Leicestershire with an Introduction on the General History of the County

    THE LEGENDS, FOLKLORE AND DIALECT OF LEICESTERSHIRE WITH AN INTRODUCTION ON THE GENERAL HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BY LIEUT.-COL. R. E. MARTIN, C.M.G., D.L. Chairman of the Leicestershire County Council NOTE.—The following paper and the general introduction which precedes it are based upon two wireless talks delivered by the author, at the invitation of the British Broadcasting Corporation, in February, 1933. General Introduction THE county of Leicester is in almost all respects a typically English area, which may fairly be described as a microcosm or representative sample of our native country. Without engaging in any unbecoming dispute with our neigh­ bours in Warwickshire as to the precise position of the centre of England, a subject upon which they are generally credited with very decided views, we can, at all events, claim that Leicester­ shire occupies a very central position in the country. The back­ bone of England runs through it. The intersection of the two great Roman roads, the Watling Street and the Fosse, lies on its south-western boundary; and in its scenery and the elements which make up its country-side, its pursuits and the life of its people, most of the characteristics are to be found which we have in our minds when we speak of '' England ''. The scenery of the county, though constructed on a modest scale compared with that of some areas of the country, displays nevertheless a notable variety of character and landscape. The level ground of the valleys of the Soar and the Wreake and the rolling uplands of the southern and eastern parts of the county contrast sharply with the wholly different structure of the tract of country in the north-west, known as Charnwood Forest.
  • Charnwood 2021

    Charnwood 2021

    Annual Economic Profile – Charnwood District Introduction Twenty-twenty has been a difficult year for business. The impact of the Corona Virus pandemic has presented many questions for employers and employees. The Corona Virus for many has challenged the way they do business and forced them to look at alternative means of delivering goods and services. In twenty twenty-one the force of the pandemic continues to bite, and it is still uncertain how some industries will be affected, what is certain is that there will be a prolonged resetting of the local and national economies. Purpose Annual Economic Profiles have been produced since 2013. Their purpose is to bring data together data from a variety of sources that: • Help provide a snapshot of the local economy. • Show how the local economy is performing. • Demonstrate what businesses support the economy and local employment and where this is changing. • Show where there are economic strengths and weaknesses. • Help understand where there has been growth and how the economy has changed. Note: It is important to understand that data used although from national sources, due to time-lags can predate the onset of the Corona Virus pandemic. As the pandemic has impacted some industries more than others, this has affected the value of data. Where possible data relating to solved businesses, job postings has been used to supplement the profiles. 1 Population The population of the Leicester and Leicestershire area is nearly 1.1 million. Of these 344,200 are based within Leicester (33.4%) and the rest (706,200 (66.6%)) in one of Leicestershire’s 7 district authority areas.

Welcome Ian Mearns MP welcomed attendees to the meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group for the Teaching Profession to the meeting. 2. Introductions Ian Mearns MP introduced members and attendees and welcomed representatives from the National Audit Office and Ofsted. 3. Teacher Recruitment and Retention: reality bites (John Howson) John reported That it was a difficult time of year as we are approaching the end of the recruitment cycle for September and that there were pressures from funding and pupil numbers. That for the present recruitment round the number of trainees on a 1yr programme was presenting serious concerns in regards to English, Business Studies, Design & Technology, Computer Science and Music. That it was expected there would be a 50% vacancy level and the only subjects where there were no concerns was in PE, Geography and History. That there was wide regional variations with high volumes of vacancies advertised within London and the Home counties. That there had been a significant increase at intake end and these areas had the highest number of independent schools. Of particular concern is the number of NQTs available to the “pool” at the end of the training year i.e. not recruited in their placement school and therefore available to supply the national teacher market. That the within the North East there was more indications of funding pressures however there were fewer vacancies than last year.
