  • 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.

    Your guide to Primary Education in Leicestershire 2017-2018 For admissions entry September 2017 and mid-term transfers during 2017-2018 academic year APPLY ONLINE IT’S EASY & SECURE! Closing Date: 15th January 2017 www.leicestershire.gov.uk/ admissions Your Guide to Primary Education 2017-2018 WELCOME Welcome On behalf of Leicestershire County Council, I am pleased to welcome parents, carers and children to this year’s Your Guide to Primary Education for entry September 2017, and general admissions throughout the academic year 2017-18. The first time admissions outcomes for this year have been extremely pleasing. The Local Authority was able to secure preferred schools for over 97% of Leicestershire parents and carers, with 91% getting their first choice of school. Added to this the highest ever percentage of parents and carers, 96.1%, applied online. With this in mind I would like to invite parents and carers of children seeking first time admissions from September 2017 to start considering which school they would like their child to attend. It is important to understand that you must apply and that there is a closing date. The application process for primary school - first time admissions begins from1st June 2016 and closes 15th January 2017, and the recommended way to apply is through Leicestershire’s online application system. There are a few key steps to make the process more straightforward that I would like to advise parents and carers of, and would urge that you consider these carefully, these are: • To read this booklet and understand what you need to do; • That you visit schools on open days before making you final decision; • Consider how you will get your child to and from school; • That the best way to apply is online; • That you must apply by the closing date 15th January 2017.

  • Transport Policy Statement for Learners Aged 16-18 in Further Education and Continuing Learners Aged 19 and Over
    Leicester City Council Education and Children’s Services Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and continuing learners aged 19 and over. Valid from: 1 August 2015 to 31 July 2016 1. Summary of Policy Statement and Main Objectives This document sets out the support available to young people of Leicester entering or continuing with full-time Post 16 Education to encourage participation and prevent transport being a barrier to young learners. It provides the most up to date details of charges and means testing procedures. It gives advice on the support available to learners with learning/mobility difficulties to encourage independent travel to and from the place of learning. 2. Details of concessionary fares. Leicester City Council – provision for mainstream learners A bus pass costing £425 is available for Leicester resident pupils over statutory school age if they live more than 3 miles but less than 20 miles from the school/college attended, and if the student is aged 16, 17 or 18 at the start of the college year. The pass allows travel on both First and Arriva buses to get to school/college. There are alternatives to the Leicester City Council Bus Pass. If you only need to use a bus from one operator, you could get better value in terms of price and flexibility by purchasing a season ticket directly from a commercial bus operator. Before you apply for a Leicester City Council bus pass we strongly urge you to consider all of the commercially available alternatives. Most commercially available season tickets allow you to travel at any time and on any day including weekends.

  • 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.
