  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the people of Leicestershire and make Leicestershire the best possible place to live and work for everyone.

  • Orchids and Rare Plants of Herbert's Meadow in This Edition
    No. 201 1 January – 31 March 2011 Editorial Panel: Helen Ikin, Steve Woodward, Jim Graham. Hon. Sec. Judy Johnson, 27 Sandalwood Road, Loughborough, Leics. LE11 3PR (01509-214711) ORCHIDS AND RARE PLANTS OF HERBERT’S MEADOW One of the wildlife spectacles of Charnwood Forest is surely Herbert’s Meadow at orchid-time, early June. As we might expect in a semi-natural habitat, the abundance of orchids varies from year to year - 2011 seems to be a very good year indeed. Five species have been recorded at the site but one, the Green-winged Orchid Anacamptis morio, has not been seen since 1974. The two most abundant are the Common Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii and the Heath Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza maculata ssp. ericetorum. There must now be thousands of each. In both species the leaves are generally spotted and the flower colour ranges from white to deep IN THIS EDITION pink, though the Heath-spotted has a tendency to be white in our local populations. The petals are CLASSIFIED RECORDS usually marked with pink streaks and dots, but what distinguishes the two species is not the colour Ÿ or markings, but the shape of the lower petal, or Mammals Page 3 lip. Common-spotted has three lobes of more-or- less equal size; whereas Heath Spotted has a Ÿ Birds Page 4 middle lobe that is distinctly smaller than the side lobes.

It did not exist at the time of the Doomsday Book in 1086, but was colonised from Groby, probably during the 13th century. For 500 years, until 1925, it was part of the Bradgate Estate owned by the Grey family. After that date ribbon development took place along the roads to Anstey, Groby and Markfield but large scale building has been resisted. The parish is very large (4388 acres) and includes outlying areas of mainly 20th century settlement as well as the 860 acre Bradgate Park and part of Swithland Woods.

  • Charnwood Peaks Century Much of Charnwood Had Lost Its Tree Cover
    The History of Charnwood Forest The origins of the name ‘Charnwood’ are uncertain. The area was known as Cernewoda in the early 12th century and as Charnewode by 1276. Given the landscape of the area, one of the more likely theories is that it comes from “chern”, which is an old word for rocky or stony. Originally, the rocky nature of much of Charnwood made This leaflet can be used in it unsuitable for arable farming, so much of it was used for conjunction with OS Explorer 245 grazing. Deer parks were popular and were created at a (The National Forest) and 246 (Loughborough). number of sites including Bradgate Park. Grazing, along with a growing demand for timber, meant that by the 16th Charnwood Peaks century much of Charnwood had lost its tree cover. 15 mile long walk By the late 18th century, advances in agriculture made Charnwood more attractive to landowners seeking to ‘enclose’ land for farming.
