Raunds and Stanwick Oundle Thrapston and Islip To Glapthorn To Cotterstock Why cycle? (The National Byway ‘Loop’) (The National Byway ‘Loop’) There are many benefits that can be realised by cycling regularly instead of making car-journeys. People who cycle regularly suffer less from ill-health and illnesses such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity Oundle and stress. Mental Health and sense of well-being are improved in addition to the well-established benefits to physical health. A good cycle home after a stressful day at work, for example, can help you relax more easily than after sitting in your car during heavy traffic. Cycling as part of your daily routine can also save you time and money, as you are naturally getting exercise without the need for taking up time going to the gym, etc. The number of calories that you burn depends on lots of factors, such as the speed you cycle, gradient, body weight, and even how windy it is, but a 30 minute journey at 10 miles R iv per hour can burn as much as 300 calories.

I went on a very good holiday to the vale of Glamorgan, an area I have never been to before, which had some interesting bells and churches and very varied scenery. Back to Easter Saturday and the sponsored walk and cycle ride. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with about 40 people walking and cycling. The cyclists went round Rutland Water with or without the peninsular and the walkers walked round the peninsular. The best part of the walk was the bluebell woods and at one place a whole field full of them. After we had finished the walk we met the cyclists at the Pub at Manton which was packed inside and out with everyone enjoying the lovely weather.

    Item Page NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JOINT PLANNING 6 1 of 10 COMMITTEE Date 25th APRIL 2019 Report HEAD OF NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JOINT Originator PLANNING & DELIVERY UNIT Title AUTHORITIES’ MONITORING REPORT 2017/18 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide headlines from the 2017/18 Authorities’ Monitoring Report against key areas of the JCS. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 All local authorities are required to produce an Authorities’ Monitoring Report (AMR) and the North Northamptonshire Joint Planning & Delivery Unit (JPDU) has produced this on a joint basis for the North Northamptonshire (NN) authorities since 2009. The AMR contains information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme (which sets out the timetable for the local development documents that the councils are producing) and the extent to which planning policies are, or are not, working. 2.2 This report provides headlines from the 2017/18 AMR in relation to Housing, Economy and Infrastructure. The full document will be published on the JPDU website imminently. 2.3 This will be the second AMR undertaken against the new monitoring framework in the 2016 Joint Core Strategy (JCS) (see JCS Table 9). The 2016/17 AMR in some ways acted as a baseline position for future AMRs as there were a number of new indicators that were not previously collated against in the Core Spatial Strategy (CSS)1. Now that this foundation has been set, the 2017/18 AMR data has something to be wholly compared with. Notwithstanding the above, the method of data collection for the information on housing and jobs numbers presented in this report has not changed since the CSS.
