Bowls Leicestershire BE Founder Member 2008 ✺ Unified County Formed 2013 HISTORY OF MENS COUNTY COMPETITIONS These details are the ongoing attempt to keep a permanent web record of the competition history of the men bowlers of Leicestershire. It is obviously incomplete and if you can supply any details that are missing eg the full names of winners of any of the team competitions listed from your club records, please email [email protected]. It would also be very good if you had any photos of the winners. We would like to feature them occasionally on the website.

These records are inclusive of LBA records. The sections run as follows: County Championship Winners – Singles, Pairs, Triples Fours, 2 wd Singles, Under 25 Singles County Championship Runners Up – Singles, Pairs, Triples Fours, 2 wd Singles, Under 25 Singles County Competition Winners – 2 Wood Triples, Over 60 Pairs, Over 60 Singles, Champion of Champions, Secretaries Cup County Competition Runners-Up – 2 Wood Triples, Over 60 Pairs, Over 60 Singles, Champion of Champions, Secretaries Cup County Competition Winners – Club Championship, Greenwood Cup, Unbadged The Leicestershire Bowling Association (LBA) was founded in 1921 and affiliated to English Bowling Association (EBA) prior to the creation of Bowls England.

These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.
  • HS2 and Appleby Magna Response by Appleby Magna Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018

    HS2 and Appleby Magna Response by Appleby Magna Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018

    Appleby Magna Parish Council - Response to HS2 HS2 and Appleby Magna Response by Appleby Magna Parish Council to the Draft Environmental Statement – December 2018 1. Appleby Magna and Parva – characteristics and facilities HS2’s Draft Environmental Statement provides accounts of Appleby’s characteristics and facilities in a number of sections. The Parish Council has identified omissions, inaccuracies and limitations. Rather than detail these section by section we would like to start with our own description of Appleby Parish. Appleby Parish Map As can be seen from the map left the parish of Appleby includes both the village of Appleby Magna and the hamlet of Appleby Parva. The parish runs to the outskirts of Measham (at Birds Hill) and Snarestone village. It is primarily a rural parish, including a number of farms. The M42 runs through the West of the parish. Housing in Appleby Parva is primarily on, or close to, the A444 towards Nuneaton. However, Appleby Magna is unusual in being close to, but not located on, any major road. This is important for its sense of place. The Appleby Magna and Appleby Parva Village Design Statement (which was the result of extensive public consultation and participation and became adopted as supplementary planning guidance) identified four elements of village character which development should seek to conserve: community spirit, rural nature, heritage, and quality and diversity of design (guideline 1). The minor village roads connecting the village to the major road network also attract significant numbers of cyclists and horse riders. Appleby Magna has been subject to significant housing growth in the last couple of years.
