Leicestershire Highways is upgrading the County Councils street lighting stock to LEDs, in order to make substantial savings in energy, carbon and maintenance costs. Leicestershire County Council will be carrying out over 68,000 street light replacements across the county and are programmed to complete all installations within the next 3 years. Initially we are concentrating on the low level street lights (5 & 6m columns) which are mainly in residential areas with the high level installations (6m & above) due to commence from October this year. 2. The first low level installations were successfully carried out in Shepshed, as programmed in March this year, before a full roll-out of four installation teams started work in Loughborough, Hugglescote and Whitwick throughout April and into May. The project is progressing well and is on programme both in time and budget. 3. Details of the full construction programme for the project are being prepared in a suitable format to share with Members and residents and we anticipate this information will be available by the end of June. 4. The table below provides the implementation programme to the end of the current financial year. 2016 May Whitwick, Loughborough, Coalville June Coalville cont., Oadby & Wigston July Ravenstone, Packington, Coleorton, Ellistown, Swannington, Ibstock, Anstey,

  • A Lost Leicestershire Industry Pp.34-41
    A LOST LEICESTERSHIRE INDUSTRY by J. A. Daniell The author is indebted to Mr. John Colledge, of Whitwick, who has generously allowed his notes to be quoted, and to Mr. William Corah, of the Coalville Times, whose comments on the subject have stimulated local interest. INTRODUCTION Of all the minor industries of Leicestershire in the nineteenth century it must be true to say that Bauble-making is one of the least known but by no means the least interesting. A search through the old Directories will reveal the official name 1 "Spar Ornament Manufactory", but among the few surviving old folk whose fading memories recall the "good old days" in Whitwick, Thringstone and Coleorton it must be "Bawbles" (sic) and as such they will be referred to in this brief account. The word "Bauble" was used locally to define an object which was ornamental but had no particular use. It is true that many of them were made to fulfil a functional purpose but they were, nevertheless, intended for display on the mantelpiece rather than for use in the kitchen cupboard. It is o.f course well known that alabaster has been quarried at Chellaston in Derbyshire since medieval times and it was from these same quarries that the Leicestershire bauble-makers obtained their "spar". (The word "alabaster" was not recognised in the industry.) It was delivered to them in large blocks transported by horse and cart, a distance of about 12 miles by road. A local industry is usually sited in a particular place either because the raw material is at hand or because there is a steady demand in the district for the goods produced.
