What is this petition about? “The accident which took place at this location on Tuesday May 7 was by no means the first. Every day our children, older neighbours and local residents with disabilities run the risk of serious injury crossing this busy road between the Red Admiral pub and the Mace shop. As a mother and someone who uses both these local businesses I want to urge our elected representatives at County Hall to make this road safe for all of us. Please support my petition. Thank you”. What we are asking for? We, the undersigned residents of Broughton Astley and users of the local facilities request the County Council, in light of recent accidents and in its role as Highways Authority, to consult as a matter of urgency with the local community regarding the imposition of traffic calming measures at the above location’. (ii) A petition with 53 signatures, and supporting documents, from Ms Nickie Philbin will be presented. The petition requests for reinstatement of boundary and removal of gate on Ancient Road, Springbank, Medbourne, Market Harborough. ‘We the undersigned support that attached letter and petition for highways to ensure the reinstatement of the Ancient Road demarcation at Springbank, Medbourne to land adjourning Mr Polito’s alongside the church boundary. This area has been morphed into the land owned by our Parish Council Chairman, and a gate has been erected some years ago that according to leics.gov/extinguishments is illegal. The sign saying it is a public right of way has disappeared. As he is now building on this land we require highways to act urgently to ensure this ancient highway is protected, clearly delineated and returned to a public right to pass’. 8.

CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME The Chairman welcomed Members and officers to the meeting. He also welcomed members of the public who were in attendance. 246. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Cllrs A Burrell and B Johnson DC and Mr V Turner LCC. 247. URGENT ITEMS There were no urgent items. 248. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. 249. MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING Minutes of the last meeting held on Tuesday 6 th November 2012 were confirmed and signed as a true record of the meeting. 250. CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE The Chairman asked Mr Wright to introduce the first 2 items in the update. i) 20mph speed limits update Mr Wright explained that the Department for Transport has reviewed its guidelines and has produced a new document ‘Setting Local Speed Limits’. The document has recently been published and officers are at present going through its contents in order to formulate the County Council’s policy on speed limits. Mr Wright agreed to bring an update to the next meeting. 6 ii) Pavement Parking Campaign (verbal update) Mr Wright confirmed that the report on pavement parking had been well received at all Forum meetings. All of the seven districts had shown interest in joining in a joint campaign endeavouring to educate motorists on pavement parking. The campaign is co-ordinated by Mr Tony Beirne of North West Leicestershire District Council and commenced on the 5 th March 2013. Mr Wright agreed to bring a further update to the next meeting. Cllr S J Galton CC asked whether parish councils can receive the leaflets. In response, Mr Proudfoot confirmed that a generic leaflet was being used and that Harborough’s website contained information on the campaign. Parish councils can contact Mr Proudfoot for a supply of leaflets. High risk areas are being heavily targeted. Cllr B Smith DC asked if Members could receive a list of the problem areas. Mr Proudfoot agreed to e-mail Members with problem areas. iii) Blanket traffic regulation order for school zig-zag markings The Chairman asked Mr Payne to introduce this item. Mr Payne explained to Members that a blanket TRO would cost in the region of £850,000 and is not considered viable under LTP3. However, there is an indication that the DfT may relax the requirement of a TRO for zig-zag markings in the future. However, it is not clear at the present moment when this may occur. Mr Payne confirmed that no distinction would be made between county run schools and academies. An update will come to the forum once the DfT has confirmed its stance. iv) Breakdown of revised on-street civil parking enforcement costs Mr Payne took Members through the update and confirmed that, whilst the number of Civil Enforcement Officers has been reduced, the amount of penalty charge notices have remained the same or, in some areas, have increased. Cllr R Page CC asked Mr Proudfoot if a parish council wishes to purchase CEO time, would this be a possibility. She also asked if the CEOs patrolled at certain times on certain days. In response, Mr Proudfoot stated that, under the new system, CEOs do not patrol areas at the same set times. Problem areas are targeted for enforcement. Extra CEO time can be purchased if all of the costs are met and the request fitted in the system. He cautioned that it would not be economical for parish councils to purchase small amounts of CEO time. Cllr G D Spendlove-Mason DC asked how confident were officers that the future income levels stated in the papers would be met in view of the fact that car usage is declining. Mr Payne confirmed that the future income budget is based on PCN recovery rates in the current year and the estimated out-turn in 2012/13. v) Index of Highway Forum agenda items Mr Sheldrake was pleased to confirm that, following a request at the last meeting, officers in Democratic Support have collated an index of all items covered in the last 10 years of the Forum. This will be updated in line with future items discussed at the meetings. 7 Members asked that their thanks be given to officers in Democratic Support for their endeavours. 251. PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 36 There were no current petitions. 252. RESPONSE TO PETITION REQUESTING TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ON FROLESWORTH ROAD, BROUGHTON ASTLEY The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport in response to a petition requesting traffic calming measures on Frolesworth Road, Broughton Astley. A copy of the report is filed with the minutes. The Chairman pointed out an article in the Leicester Mercury where the petitioners were quoted as being pleased at how the petition had been accepted at the previous Forum meeting. Unfortunately, assessments undertaken concluded that no action on road safety grounds would be taken to implement traffic calming on Frolesworth Road. RECOMMENDATION That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted.

  • Langtons' and District Newsletter
    Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring Edition 2020 February Fill Dyke An old saying goes, "February fill dyke, be black or be it white; Be it white, 'tis better to like." This roughly means that rain and snow are both welcome in February, although snow is preferable. Well it’s certainly been black this year. Harborough District Council are encouraging parish councils to put in place Community Response Plans in the event of an incident such as severe weather. Tur Langton Parish Council has theirs and East Langton Parish Council’s is nearly completed (see p 7). The plan provides a guide as to how and where the local community may support the Emergency services in terms of information and providing predetermined resources where appropriate. Let’s hope we never have to use it. Keep safe. Roz Folwell Stonton Wyville taken by G. Devereaux-Batchelor Printed by Omniprint, Market Harborough 1 2 Church Langton CE (AIDED) Primary School Young Voices The pupils in years five and six were very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform as part of a six thousand strong choir at the Young Voices concert at the Birmingham Arena. Supported by a very keen team of teachers, the children sang with a wide range of acts including Tony Hadley and alongside street dance group Urban Sounds. This is part of our ongoing opportunities for the pupils to take part in musical performances to different audiences.

  • ORM the SERPENT: a Tale of Viking Leicestershire Michael Wood
    ORM THE SERPENT: A taLE OF VIKING LEICESTERSHIRE Michael Wood It is a real pleasure, and a great honour, to be elected President of the Society – an undeserved honour given such distinguished predecessors. Local history is the root of history, and Leicester is the home of local history. Almost at the start of British writing on local history, following Lambarde in Kent, came Burton’s Description of Leicestershire (which went through Ned Blunt’s printing shop at the same time as the First Folio).1 Burton planned no less than three village histories – Lindley, Theddingworth and Dadlington – and his notebooks are a still untapped source of material, including his transcripts of lost Leicestershire Hundred Rolls in the Bodleian Library which would be a very valuable and exciting task for a local historian with Latin, following the model of the Kent Hundred Rolls Project. Later, as local studies burgeoned the London printer John Nichols compiled perhaps the greatest local history ever written, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, which is still a gold mine for the local historian. That impetus continued throughout the nineteenth century when this society was founded in 1855. Then from the 1930s came a new golden age (a long one – for we are still in it!) when Frank Attenborough brought the Devonian Bill Hoskins here (there are photos of young David counting hedgerows around Oadby!). From then on the Transactions contain a roll call of the great historians who have shaped every generation of students since and opened local studies to a far wider public, nationally and internationally.

    Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report Prepared by Harborough District Council on behalf of Hallaton Parish Council – The Qualifying Body September 2019 1 Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. Legislative Background 3 3. Criteria for Assessing the Effects of Neighbourhood Plans 4 4. Assessment 5 5. Screening Outcome 7 2 Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan 1. Introduction 1.1 Harborough District Council has been asked by Hallaton Parish Council to undertake this screening report for Strategic Environmental Assessment. 1.2 National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) was updated in February 2015 clarifying instances where a SEA may be required for a neighbourhood plan. A neighbourhood plan may require an environmental assessment if it is likely to have a significant effect on the environment. Where this is the case the draft neighbourhood plan may fall within the scope of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. This may be the case, for example, where a neighbourhood plan allocates sites for development. 1.3 A qualifying body is strongly encouraged to consider the environmental implications of its proposals at an early stage, and to seek the advice of the local planning authority on whether the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 are likely to apply. 1.4 In order to demonstrate that a draft neighbourhood plan or Order contributes to sustainable development, sufficient and proportionate evidence should be presented on how the draft neighbourhood plan or Order guides development to sustainable solutions.
