Work on electrifying the Midland Main Line, the vital long-distance corridor that serves the UK’s industrial heartland, will continue alongside the line-speed and capacity improvement works that were already in hand. Electrification of the line north of Bedford to Kettering and Corby is scheduled to be completed by 2019, and the line north of Kettering to Leicester, Derby/Nottingham and Sheffield by 2023. Outputs The Midland Main line Electrification Programme known as the MMLe is split into two key output dates, the first running from 2014-2019 (known as CP5) and the second, 2019-2023 (CP6). There are a number of sub projects running under the main MMLe programme which are delivering various improvements in the Leicestershire area. Each sub project has dependencies with each other to enable the full ES001- Midland Main Line electrification programme to be achieved A number of interfaces and assumptions link to these programmes and their sub projects will affect Leicestershire. ES001A- Leicester Capacity The proposed 4 tracking between Syston and Wigston is located under sub project ES001A - Leicester Capacity which can be found on page 27 of Network Rails enhancements delivery plan .

    Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.

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.

Cllr David Freer – Portfolio Holder for Partnerships & Corporate Services – says: ‘Residents and professionals alike have told us what a valuable resource the Older Persons’ Guide has been and this new edition is bigger than ever. The Council and its partners provide a number of schemes that support our vision for our ageing population. The new Ageing Well Guide includes information about these and the numerous activities that are taking place across our parishes that are all helping in some way to reduce isolation and improve health and wellbeing’. The frst part of this guide provides information about district-wide services that provide help on issues such as health and social care, transport, community safety, money advice and library services. The second part of the guide gives details of clubs and activities taking place in each parish within the district, including GP practices, social or lunch clubs, ftness and exercise classes and special interest or hobby groups. 2 Blaby District Council has taken care to ensure the information in this booklet is accurate at the time of publication.
