  • HS2 Draft Environmental Statement
    HS2 and Measham Response by Measham Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018 1. Introduction When the original route for Phase 2b of HS2 was announced in 2013, the route ran through the western side of the village. Some significant issues were identified with this route, and in November 2016 HS2 consulted on an alternative route on the east of Measham. There were many responses to this consultation and the prevailing view was that the proposed route caused more adverse impacts than the one proposed in 2013. As a result of this consultation, a third version of the route through Measham was announced in July 2017, varying the course of the railway to avoid the worst adverse effects on the Westminster Trading Estate. However, any route which makes close contact with the village will result in adverse impacts and our aim in our response to this consultation is to ensure that HS2 Ltd address our concerns with appropriate mitigation. We have identified our top priorities are: • Mitigation for the loss of Section 106 monies as a result of the blight on the Measham Wharf Development • Ensuring that the Mease Viaduct is appropriate to its surrounding environment • To protect the character of the village in the face of demolitions and the proximity of the railway to many village properties • Losses to housing in the village, and a rising number of empty properties while we are awaiting Compulsory Purchase Orders to be actioned We are aware that there is a degree of uncertainty around the route through Measham, but at the moment whilst there is no firm decision from the Department for Transport, we can only comment on HS2’s route as it stands.

  • Coalville Times at War
    Coalville Times At War Friday October 1st 1915 (Issue 1230) Page 1 ASHBY CITIZENS’ CORPS INSPECTION The Ashby Citizen Corps had a practice and drill in the Bath Grounds on Sunday, under G. J. German and were joined by the Woodville Company under Mr Freckleton. The drill consisted of exercises in preparation for the inspection by Lord Rankesborough, which is to take place next Sunday. Lord Rankesborough will be remembered by old volunteers as Major-General Brocklehurst, who inspected the Ashby Company about ten years ago at Ashby. Page 3 WOUNDED SOLDIER’S OUTING A JOLLY PARTY About 200 wounded and convalescent soldiers from the Base Hospital at North Evington, Lutterworth, Charnwood and Melton hospitals had a glorious time on Saturday. They were entertained by the employees of Messrs. Walker, Kempson and Stevens (Sileby Branch) and Mr J. W. Molt, (of Sileby). As usual, the motor car arrangements were under the able supervision of Mr C. Geoffrey Barradale, on behalf of the Leicestershire Automobile Club. An informal procession, which started from the Victoria Park Gates, was made through the town. As on previous occasions, the Tommies were heartily cheered and showers of cigarettes, fruit, chocolates, etc., went into the cars. At Sileby, large crowds of people greeted the soldiers. The village was handsomely decorated with banners, flags and festoons. In a field adjoining the Conservative Club, a large marquee and platform had been erected. Among those present were Col. Yate, M.P., Mr J. H. Bott (manager for Messrs. Walker, Kempson and Stevens at Sileby), Mr J. W. Moir, Mr Wye (secretary of Messrs.

We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville
    The Manors of Allexton, Appleby and Ashby Folville. BY GEORGE FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A., AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., F.S.A. PREFACE. Since the appearance of Nichols' History of Leicestershire, pub­ lished between 1795 and 1815, the materials for original work upon local history and topography have been considerably extended, and many classes of documents are now available for research which serve at once to supplement and correct the information contained in the older county histories.. While Nichols' famous volumes must always remain the foundation for any future work upon the history of Leicestershire, the student who knows how to make use of them finds that their statements constantly stand in need of verification and that their accuracy is seriously impaired by their author's partial and arbitrary use of his documents. For some time past the present writers have entertained the idea of bringing together the results of their several collections of material illus­ trating the manorial and ecclesiastical annals of the county, and it will be found that the notes which follow in the form of con­ nected narratives endeavour to fill up gaps in the story of the three places concerned and to present in consecutive order information which hitherto has been treated merely in outline or overlooked altogether. For the chief part of the work, tracing the descent of the manors, and for the pedigrees Mr. Farnham is responsible. The notes upon advowsons and the lists of incumbents, which con­ siderably amplify Nichols' imperfect and carelessly compiled lists, are supplied by his collaborator.

Some define the character valued by residents and include places of visual qualities, such as Village Design Statements, others assess how sustainable a settlement is, a Parish or Community Led Plan, and then there are assessments that concentrate more on future development, the Neighbourhood Plan for example. ‘Placecheck’ attempts to contribute something new, it is a method of taking the first steps in deciding how to improve an area. ‘Placecheck’ can lead to anything from a litter pick at one end of a scale to neighbourhood plan at the other. 2) Format The Moira ‘Placecheck’ was initiated in February 2014, following a successful submission to Leicestershire County Council’s ‘Big Society Fund’ by the Ashby WouldsTown Clerk.
