  • Leicester City Labour Group City of Leicester New Ward Boundary Narrative
    Patrick Kitterick For the attention of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Please find attached the following files in relation to Leicester City Labour Party’s submission regarding the LGBCE’s review of boundaries for Leicester City Council. -PDF Map of the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -PDF Table of the numbers for each ward and variances for the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -Narrative on Proposed New Wards -Data files supplied by Leicester City Council which I believe are compatible with LGBCE systems which give the detailed data surrounding our proposals. If this is, in any way, incompatible with the supplied maps and narrative please contact me to resolve any confusion.. The overall approach of Leicester City Labour Party has been to produce a detailed, validated, city wide proposal for Leicester. We have used the River Soar as a primary definer of boundaries in the city, we have also made greater use of the railway lines in the city as a definer of boundaries and finally we have used major roads as a point to either divide wards or build wards depending on whether they divide communities or have communities grow around them. For the necessity of providing balanced numbers we have had to use minor roads as the final definer of boundaries. Overall we have reduced the number of wards from 22 to 20 and we have kept wards co-terminus with current parliamentary boundaries, as they too provide strong community and natural boundaries.

  • Newsletter 16 - 26Th
    Friday 26th May 2017 RUSHEY MEAD ACADEMY Newsletter ISSUE NUMBER 16 Normandy 2017 Forty three Year 9 students have been enjoying French culture in Normandy for fivedays. On the first day we visited the second most visited monument in France: Le Mont Saint-Michel. Even though we had some thunderstorm rains, the team ‘Lightening’ managed to win the treasure hunt around the site. In the afternoon we had a lot of fun visiting a local goat farm. We all tried some tasty goat cheese and some courageous students even tried to act as a vet, a hair-dresser and a farmer. A particular well done to Kyle who milked the goat and was the first one to taste fresh goat milk. Yummy! On the second day we visited the famous ‘Bayeux tapestry’ and students went in team to a local market in order to buy fresh products to prepare their own lunch. Back at le Chateau, they prepared their dishes and presented them to the chef. Again the team ‘Lightening’ was the most impressive and won the competition with their vegetable sandwiches and their dessert made of ‘chouquette’ (French sweet buns) and fresh strawberries and cherries! In the afternoon we visited the Bristish cemetery and the impressive Bayeux cathedral. On the third day we started with some team building games in le chateau. Students enjoyed a blind trail and teachers enjoyed even more giving them tricks on the way. We then went to Arromanches to watch a moving 360 degrees movie about the D-day, and had a pique nique on the beach.

It also provides recommendations to the LSEP about where to invest its budget for Access Centres in Leicester City in 2005/06 and beyond. 1.3 An Access Centre is a one stop shop for community services and learning provision. Core services include adult learning courses, information technology training, child care and job and career guidance. Additional services can include a credit union, welfare and benefits advice, health education, capacity building for volunteers, job vacancy information, legal advice and signposting to other services. 1.4 The LSEP feel they lack sufficient evidence on current adult learning provision in Leicester, to make effective investment decisions. In response, they commissioned this study to identify and map where these types of services are being provided in the City.

  • City Series City of Heritage, Progress and Planning
    City Series City of heritage, progress and planning City Series is a new public lecture series in Leicester that will deliver free events relating to a wide range of urban topics, such as architecture, history and geography. This has been developed on behalf of Leicester Urban Observatory, a collaboration between Leicester City Council, De Montfort University, University of Leicester, and Loughborough University, with speakers from those institutions and from the wider community. The inaugural lecture is delivered by Sir Peter Soulsby and will focus on the planning story of Leicester and its future. Sir Peter was first elected to Leicester City Council in 1974 and has since served the city in a wide range of elected roles, including as an MP and as the first Directly Elected Mayor of the city. He was knighted in 1999 for his services to local government. This paper has been prepared by Justin Webber, Senior Building Conservation Officer at Leicester City Council to provide further information on the historic development of Leicester as a planned urban settlement and to complement a new exhibition including a series of display panels featuring historic plans for the city. Further details on forthcoming events can be found on: leicesterurbanobservatory.wordpress.com/events/ 1 Early Planning Leicester is the product of town planning, both in the modern sense of the term and in a more abstract historic form. However, it is not a settlement that emerged from an explosive period of development, such as with New Towns like Milton Keynes or industrial locations like Middlesbrough, instead developing in stages over centuries.
