    Coalville Times At War Friday February 4th 1916 (Issue 1248) Page 1 HUGGLESCOTE PATRIOTIC SOCIAL A patriotic whist drive and dance at the Hawley Institute on Wednesday night was well attended. Mr J. Cooper, of Coalville, played for dancing, and Miss Edith Bott, of Coalville, was much applauded for her songs. Messrs. Wright-Mason (Ellistown) and J. H. Dean (Hugglescote) were the M.C.’s. The M.C.s for whist were Messrs. E. Darby and D. S. Moore, and the excellent prizes were won respectively by the following: Ladies: Miss Aust 181, Miss E. Wright 174, and Mrs L. Smith 172. Gentlemen: Mr A. Pegg 175, Mr G. Geary 171, and Private Wildgoose 170. The proceeds were for the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Comforts Guild. Page 2 FURTHER EXAMINATION FOR ARMLET MEN BEFORE FINAL EXEMPTION Mr Thomas asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he was aware that local recruiting officers are summoning men who have been previously rejected under Lord Derby’s scheme to submit to further medical examination, and whether, having regard to the fact that these men hold a white certificate which states that they presented themselves to join the army, but were not accepted on medical information, they will be exempt under the Military Services Act? Mr Tennant, in a written answer in the Parliamentary papers, says, “In view of the many decisions which had to be hurriedly reached and the desirability for greater uniformity, a fresh medical examination will be necessary.” Page 4 DO YOU KNOW THAT An aeroplane passed over Coalville at a rather low altitude on Saturday,
  • Coalville Fringe Assessment

    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.

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.

    Chapters 6-8 of the Tamworth Local Plan

    Chapter 6 6 A High Quality Environment Pre-submission publication document 57 CHAPTER 6 - A HIGH QUALITY ENVIRONMENT 6.1 Delivering a high quality environment will involve protecting and enhancing Tamworth’s network of ‘urban green’ to provide sufficient opportunities for sport and recreation and biodiversity. Through positive planning, development will achieve high quality design that preserves and enhances Tamworth’s historic character. 6.2 Despite being a predominantly urban authority, the planned layout of Tamworth has resulted in a unique legacy in the form of a network of urban green and blue infrastructure which runs east-west and north-south through the centre of the Borough. These main corridors follow the lines of the Rivers Tame and Anker and the Kettlebrook, with more local links extending into the housing and employment areas. These links offer significant benefits, acting as a sustainable transport network for walking and cycling which is accessible to all residents. Furthermore they play a key role in delivering benefits around increased community cohesion, education, regeneration and improving health and wellbeing. 6.3 With the exception of the Anker Valley Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood, the limited supply of suitable large sites that could feasibly accommodate new open space means that there are few opportunities to create new open space as part of development. It will be critical that the Anker Valley development has a well designed, useable network of open space and that it makes the most of its immediate links with the countryside. 6.4 Beyond the Anker Valley Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood, it will be crucial to make the most efficient use of Tamworth’s network of environmental assets, including the quality of existing open space through management and developer contributions.

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.
