It is a ‘must have’, due to the many economic, social and environmental benefits it offers. It is essential to the quality of life of residents, business and nature, contributing towards creating places where people and the environment can thrive. What is Green Infrastructure? GI is the term used to describe the network of natural and semi-natural spaces and corridors in a given area. These include open spaces such as parks and gardens, but also allotments, woodlands, fields, hedges, lakes, ponds, playing fields, coastal habitats, footpaths, cycle routes and water courses. Crucially, GI provision is not limited to traditional green spaces such as parks and other open spaces, but can involve various interventions to thread nature into streetscapes, or provide corridors of connectivity between GI ‘assets’. Above all, GI is defined by its multifunctionality. A single GI asset can deliver a range of benefits to people (both physical and mental well-being), as well as biodiversity and landscape. GI can help to create high quality, attractive and functional places that will provide a setting for day- to-day living. It can also address the negative impact of habitat loss and fragmentation by promoting habitat creation, enhancement and connectivity (on site as part of development or through biodiversity off-setting), and plays an important role in reducing local temperatures, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and alleviating flood risk and soil erosion. What is the purpose of this Strategy? As a largely rural Borough, Hinckley & Bosworth is rich in GI assets of various kinds, and has a valued landscape that gives the Borough its identity and provides the context for flagship heritage assets such as Bosworth Battlefield and the Ashby Canal. Against a backdrop of future growth and development within the Borough, a strategic framework is needed to ensure that the existing GI network is protected, strengthened and expanded to deal with future challenges. LUC I 1 Chapter 1 Executive Summary Hinckley and Bosworth July 2020 These include challenges associated not only with growth but Borough faces the following challenges which an improved GI also climate change and the need to provide a healthy and network could help to address: attractive environment for local residents and workers. ◼ Erosion of the character of the agricultural landscape, in This strategy has three key aims: part through the loss and weakening of hedgerow networks. ◼ to review the extent to which GI assets (both ‘green’ and ‘blue’) are functioning well; ◼ Sparse woodland cover, particularly in the south and west of the Borough. ◼ to identify where there are existing and anticipated future gaps in GI provision; and, ◼ Need for further 'greening' of the townscape of the Hinckley/Barwell/Earl Shilton built up area, and key ◼ to set out what actions and interventions could enhance 'gateways' into Hinckley. the current provision. ◼ Few opportunities for access to heritage assets by active The Strategy is designed to reflect the changed policy travel (ie by walking and cycling). landscape since the previous GI Strategy was prepared in 2008.

  • Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal
    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal Page | 1 Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic local economy 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 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. 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 relatively 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. Some local businesses also note difficulties in filling 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 expects that 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. Improved co-ordination of business support services and a range of innovative business support programmes.

  • Shackerstone
    Shackerstone Conservation Area Appraisal The early history of the village is uncertain and first reference to the settlement appeared in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when reference was made to “Sacrestone” which means town of robbers. After the Norman Conquest when the Saxon estates were handed over to the Norman overlords, a 12th century castle was built to the north of Station Road, the earthworks of which are still visible. In the Elizabethan era the Halls were the prominent family in the village. They occupied Shackerstone Hall next to the church for over 200 years from around 1630 until they emigrated to Australia in 1829 after selling the estate to Lord Howe. The Hall burned down in 1845 and was replaced by the Gopsall estate workers cottage on Church Walk. At that time, the village was a successful self supporting community and had four farms, two pubs two shops, a bakery, a builder, a carpenter, brickworks, a post office, a coal merchant, a dressmaker, a shoemaker and a blacksmith. It also was the home for a large coach building business until 1935 run by the Insley family which provided employment for a coachbuilder, a wheelwright and up to 30 other people. The coach works supplied wagons and wheelbarrows throughout the country. The farms included Bridge Farm which also housed the village bakery, Church Farm, Arnold Farm and Cattows Farm. To support the 300 residents in the village Earl Howe funded the construction of the village school and school house in 1844. The school closed in the 1930’s and the school house is now the Village Hall.

  • Coalville Fringe Assessment
    Urban Fringe 1: Western edge of Thringstone and New Swannington 1: View from School Lane 2: View from Red Hill Lane Element Assessment Score The Coalfield: Gently undulating landscape with effects of past and present coal and clay working. It displays a relatively dense pattern of former mining towns and villages characterised by 19th century mining terraces which follow the roads. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland although away from settlements the land is mostly arable. There is generally low woodland cover. The land contains areas of restored land, some including establishing heathland, once far more extensive. Around Coalville the landscape is influenced by Bardon 21 warehousing, Bardon quarry and other light industrial development. Bardon Hill and quarry are features within views. The assessment notes that the land is part of the National Forest. Northern tip is part of Charnwood Forest: The underlying pre-Cambrian rocks result in a varied, hilly landform with exposed crags and rocky knolls and fast-flowing streams, resulting in a distinctive County Landscape character. The area has a high concentration of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland, including many ancient woodland sites, hedges and hedgerow trees, some of which is unmanaged. The character area area is characterised by an intimate mixture of woodland and farmland in mixed arable and pasture uses. The area’s acidic soils support pockets of heathland vegetation, particularly around rocky outcrops, where the land has never been taken into cultivation. There is variable field patterns, with irregular fields often bounded by mixed hedges contrasted with long narrow rectilinear fields with stone walls.

  • Dementia Pilot
    Assistive Technology Dementia Pilot January 2020 Information for participants What are we doing? We are running a small pilot project for 50 people to test some new technology designed to help people with dementia living at home. This is something new for the council and we would like to see how it works and understand what the people taking part think about it. We have selected the technology that we are going to use and at the end of the project we will ask you how helpful and easy it was to use. Where are we doing it? The pilot project is a partnership between Leicestershire County Council and five district and borough councils and is for people living in the following areas: • Charnwood • North West Leicestershire • Hinckley and Bosworth • Oadby and Wigston • Blaby What does the technology do? We will be using a product called MySense. This monitors an individual’s activity and daily routine in the home and then communicates the information it collects using the internet. It gathers information using: • Sensors – which can identify movement and activity, e.g. when the bathroom door was opened, or the fridge was used • Smartplug – which connects to the kettle and can indicate when this has been used • Sleep Sensor – which can identify the time at which someone has gone to bed and the time they spent in bed This information is then communicated in the following ways: • App – for family members/friends, which shows a timeline of activity. • Notifications – that a family member/friend will receive by text about the important things you need to know about Do I have to pay for this? No, the council will provide the system to you free of charge during the pilot.
