Request: Please could you provide all documentation relating to the installation of the two traffic calming measures on Tolethorpe, either side of the village of Little Casterton. One is located next to the junction with Little Casterton Road and the other near the junction of Salters Lane. In particular, I would like to see any risk assessments or safety assessments made prior to their installation, documentation outlining the justification for installation and the process that was undertaken in order to make the decision to install them. Response: Both of these chicanes were installed following requests by the Parish Council after they raised concerns relating to speeding traffic. Toll Bar end of Little Casterton – The scheme proposal was sent to the police on the 22nd January 2016, who responded with no objections to the scheme. The scheme was then installed in July 2016. The chicane at this end of the village has been successful in reducing vehicle speeds. Previously the average speed was 34mph and the 85th percentile was 39mph. Following the installation of the chicane the average speed reduced to 21mph and the 85th percentile to 24mph. Ryhall end of Little Casterton – This scheme was sent to the police, who responded with no objections to the scheme. The scheme was full installed at the end of 2019. The chicane has yet been assessed in terms of effects on vehicle speeds, however a road safety audit has been carried out at this location. The safety audit recommended some alterations which have all been explored. Due to various highway constraints some of the recommendations could not be carried out – eg turning the SID around. There have been no recorded accidents at either of these locations You are free to use any documents supplied for your own use, including for non- commercial research purposes. The documents may also be used for news reporting.

Introduction 1.1 This Stage 3 Road Safety Audit (RSA) has been undertaken on the proposed traffic calming measures in Little Casterton, Rutland. The Audit was carried out at the request of Robyn Green (Design Team) at Rutland County Council, for the submission to Chris Capps of Rutland County Council. 1.2 The Audit was carried out by experienced, Road Safety Engineers who have not been involved with the design process. Members of the Local police were invited, but were unavailable to attend. The members of the Audit Team were: Tom Langridge – MSc Eng. BEng Hons GMICE – Audit Team Leader Associate Director, AECOM Leeds Rob Norfolk – BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering MICHT – Audit Team Member Principal Consultant, AECOM Leeds 1.3 The RSA was undertaken in accordance with the RSA Brief received via email from Robyn Green, on Thursday 15th August 2019. The Audit comprised of an examination of the documents provided by the Design Team, which are listed in Appendix A. 1.4 The RSA took place in the AECOM Leeds office during August 2019 and the site was examined by the members of the RSA Team together between the hours of 16:00hrs and 18:00hrs, on Thursday 5th September 2019 and a night time visit was undertaken between the hours of 20:00hrs and 20:30hrs. The weather condition during the visit was sunny, with a dry road surface. Photographs were taken and notes were written in order to document impressions of the scheme prior to the writing of the report. 1.5 The terms of reference of the Audit are as described in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) document GG119 (formally HD 19/15) ‘Road Safety Audit’. The advice issued in the DMRB applies to trunk road and motorway highway improvement schemes; however, it has been used in this report to define the scope of this Audit. 1.6 The content of this Audit should not be regarded as a direct instruction to include or remove a measure from within the scheme. Responsibility for designing the scheme lies with the Designer and as such the Audit Team accepts no design responsibility for any changes made to the scheme as a result of this Audit. 1.7 The scheme has been examined, and this report compiled, only with regard to the safety implications to road users of the scheme as presented. It has not been examined or verified for compliance with any other standards or criteria. However, to clearly explain a safety problem or the recommendation to resolve a problem, the Audit Team may, on occasion, have referred to a design standard without touching on technical audit. 1.8 No departures and relaxations from standards have been notified to the Audit Team on the proposals. 1.9 Collision data and traffic flow information has been provided and reviewed. 1.10 All traffic sign and road marking diagram number references are made to The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016, (TSRGD). 1.11 Unless general to the scheme, each problem has been identified with reference to key features and highlighted on the problem location plans in Appendix B.

Action plan 3 INTRODUCTION PARISH PLANS Parish plans are part of the “Vital Villages” initiative of the Countryside Agency, run locally through the Rural Community Council (Leicestershire & Rutland). A Parish Plan should provide a picture of a village, identifying through consultation the concerns and needs of its residents. From the plan villages should identify actions to improve the village and the life of the community. The resulting Village Action Plan is then used to inform the County Council, through the Parish Council. Parish Plans have a statutory place in local government. GREAT CASTERTON PARISH PLAN Great Casterton’s Parish Plan started with a meeting of villagers in June 2002. There was particular interest because of a contentious planning decision imposed by the County Council on the village. The Community Development Officer for Rutland, Adele Stainsby, explained the purpose of the plan and the benefits for the village. A committee was formed, and a constitution drawn up. The Parish Council promised a small initial grant while an application for Countryside Agency funding was prepared. The money granted was to be balanced by the voluntary work of villagers.

  • THE ROMAN and ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY at GREAT CASTERTON: the 1966 EXCAVATION Peter Liddle
    THE ROMAN AND ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY AT GREAT CASTERTON: THE 1966 EXCAVATION Peter Liddle Based on a report by Guy Grainger and Christine Mahany, with contributions from Bernard Denston, Helena Hamerow and John Shepherd This paper, which is based on a completed monograph written by Guy Grainger from notes and records by Christine Mahany, presents the results of an excavation in 1966 of Roman and Anglo-Saxon burials on the north side of the Roman defences of Great Casterton. The main conclusion is that Roman burials, in all probability, continue into the fifth century in an extensive area north of the walled town. At some stage in the later fifth century, Anglo-Saxon cremation burials were buried to the east, while somewhat later (where there is a relationship), Anglo-Saxon inhumation burials are also present. INTRODUCTION Circumstances of the excavation During the course of road-widening operations in Ryhall Road by Rutland County Council in September 1966, F. Rotherham, the foreman in charge of the work, noticed that human bones and Saxon pottery were being disturbed by the mechanical excavator. He immediately informed Nottingham University, and Stamford and Oakham Museums. An emergency excavation was accordingly undertaken, firstly by J. L. Barber of Oakham School Museum and the late Malcolm Dean, and subsequently by Christine Mahany for the Stamford Archaeological Research Committee on behalf of the Ministry of Public Building and Works. The excavation continued for six weeks. The Assistant Supervisor was C. S. B. Young, but otherwise the labour was provided entirely by volunteers. In view of the nature of the emergency it was decided to concentrate the available resources on recovering as much as possible of the plan of the cemetery, and not to attempt to excavate underlying features.

  • Introduction Methodology
    RYHALL AND BELMESTOPE PARISH SURVEY RESULTS Survey undertaken August/September 2017 Survey results approved and ratified by the Parish Council May 2018 Results published June 2018 Introduction In response to the national need for more housing, Rutland County Council has drawn up a Local Plan for countywide development in the period up to 2036. This will require the addition of 1,700 dwellings. The nine large Rutland villages, of which Ryhall is one, are expected to contribute one-third of this total, i.e. 566 dwellings. Were this spread equally amongst the nine it would require Ryhall to expand by ca. 63 dwellings. Ryhall Parish Council considered formally contributing a Neighbourhood Plan, but following consultation with parishioners instead opted for a simpler Parish Plan. The first stage in this process was to canvass the views of Ryhall and Belmesthorpe residents through a survey. Methodology Accordingly a volunteer working party project team was formed chaired by Dave Amies, including Linda & Simon Davies, Pat Bate and Andrew Nebel, and authorized to undertake the survey. With very significant support from Caroline Adams, Parish Clerk, a review of other Rutland Villages’ neighbourhood planning surveys was undertaken and used to design a questionnaire adjudged specifically suitable to the needs of our villages. In addition, a questionnaire was designed for completion by all year 6 pupils of Ryhall CE Academy. 700 questionnaires were printed and through the kind voluntary assistance of Tony Dolby and Andy Thomas, one was delivered to every dwelling in Ryhall and Belmesthorpe. A total of 217 completed questionnaires were returned from Ryhall residents [a 33% response rate] and 20 from Belmesthorpe [a response rate of 25%] to collection points at the Village Stores, The Library, the School and the Blue Bell public house.

He thought that the ice-sheet was general over the northern part of the British Isles, and on a much larger scale than was usually admitted-- and that one of the obstacles to its recognition was the later glacia- tion along the valleys, which was more conspicuous than the older traces, and another the difficulty which some people had in ignoring the present coast-line. Mr. J. CLIFTOI~"WARD stated that in the northern parts of the Lake district he had found that the direction of the ice-flow must have been mainly to the north. The AVT~OR, in reply, remarked that in Greenland, whatever might theoretically be the case, ice is pushed for scores or hun- dreds of miles down into the sea, until it gets out of its depth, and eventually floats off as icebergs. He pointed out the correspondence of the main valleys of Ireland with glaciations on the surface of rocks from Scotland, and exhibited specimens and rubbings in illus- tration of various characters of weathering and wear from different natural causes.
