  • 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.

  • 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.

This method is time consuming and can be expensive. An alternative approach is to manufacture jigs and fixtures using 3D printing.

  • NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New War Memorial in The
    NEWSLETTER ISSUE 14 April 2012 News: New war memorial in the making for Plungar: Tim Chamberlain of the East Midlands branch of the Western Front Association has kindly provided me with information on a fundraising effort to install a memorial to the casualties of a plane crash near Plungar in Melton district. If you would like to be put in touch, please let me know. A public meeting is to be held on 26th April at 7.30pm in Plungar Village Hall. The memorial is due to be unveiled on Saturday 22nd September, with service at 2pm at Plungar Church. You can read more about the crash in the article provided by Tim Chamberlain below. Veteran experiences: I’m glad to be working with the Leicester branch of the British Korean Veteran’s Association on some oral history recordings, which I hope to start in the next few months. I would like to use this to interest schools across Leicestershire in hosting some of the Korean veterans who can speak about their experiences to the students. 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice on 27th July 1953; this is the only thing that technically prevents the fighting from continuing to this day, as a peace settlement was never reached. Members of the Leicester branch were interviewed on the subject of National Service at an event at Donington le Heath Manor House (right) last November, which as you will see in the events section is being run once again, on 17th June. If you would like to have a table at this event, please contact [email protected] or myself [email protected] “Stand by Your Beds!” an event at Donington le Heath on 17th June, is looking for groups and veterans’ associations to take part.
