Services Directorate Services Directorate Please ask for: John Richardson Telephone: 01530 454832 Fax: Our Ref: ACV 13007 Your Ref: Date: 4 March 2015 Mrs Lindsay Swinfield (Parish Clerk) Oakthorpe, Donisthorpe and Acresford Parish Council Barn 5, Home Farm Church Street Swepstone Leicestershire LE67 2SA Dear Mrs Swinfield Asset of community value - Moira Road car park, Moira Road, Donisthorpe, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE12 7BA I refer to the attached letter (disposal notification LCC) that I received from Leicestershire County Council on Friday 27 February 2015 regarding Moira Road car park, Donisthorpe. As Oakthorpe, Donisthorpe and Acresford Parish Council is the nominating community group for this asset, on behalf of North West Leicestershire District Council I am formally notifying you of the owner’s intent to dispose of Moira Road car park, Donisthorpe. Additionally I refer you to the attached document ‘Community Right to Bid – Non-statutory advice note for local authorities’, you will be specifically interested in pages 4 and 5 and Section 9 (page 16) of the guidance. As the letter was received by North West Leicestershire District Council on Friday 27 February 2015 the moratorium period commences from this date, there are two parts to the moratorium, as follows: Part one (six week interim moratorium) – Friday 27 February to Saturday 11 April Community interest groups (i.e. a legally constituted organisation such as a charity a company limited by guarantee that does not distribute profits amongst its members, an Industrial and Provident Society, a Community Interest Company (CIC) or a Parish Council) will then have six weeks to lodge a non-binding expression of interest. Part two (full moratorium - a further 4 and half months, making six in total) – Friday 10 April to Saturday 26 September The full moratorium period exists to afford community interest groups sufficient time to prepare and raise money to bid for the property, potentially in competition with other interested parties. During the interim moratorium period a community interest group may request in writing to be treated as a potential bidder for the asset; this will bring the full moratorium period into force. The community interest group does not have to provide any evidence of intention or financial resources to make such a bid. A community interest group must have one or more of the following structures: COUNCIL OFFICES.

May I suggest that this issue is placed on the agenda of your next appropriate council meeting, and I ask that you confirm the intent of the parish council as discussed and agreed at the parish council meeting to me in writing at your earliest convenience. Should Oakthorpe, Donisthorpe and Acresford Parish Council not wish to be treated as a potential bidder, I would be obliged if you could make other groups in the community aware of this opportunity. Any potential bidder (that has one of the structures listed above) will need to write to me at North West Leicestershire District Council requesting to be treated as a potential bidder for the asset (within the six week interim moratorium period). If you require any further information from me regarding the process please do not hesitate to contact Wendy May, Community Focus Team Leader, 01530 454769 or by email [email protected]. If you or others wish to discuss any details of the asset with the owner, you will need contact Mr Jiten Ravat, Trainee Valuer at Leicestershire County Council directly on 0116 3056963 or by email [email protected].

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.
