  • EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016
    MINUTES OF THE DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR THE EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016 Session 1: Wednesday 8 June 2016 Present: David Elvin QC, Commissioner Neil Pringle, Commissioner Sam Hartley, Secretary to the Commission Tony Bellringer, Deputy Secretary to the Commission Tim Bowden, Head of Reviews Glenn Reed, Review Manager Sam Amponsah, Review Officer Mr Reed and Mr Amponsah presented the Secretariat's schemes to Commissioners. Lincolnshire The Commissioners considered that, due to its almost whole allocation of constituencies with a Theoretical Entitlement (TE) to 6.97 constituencies, Lincolnshire could be treated on its own and should continue to be allocated seven constituencies. Commissioners considered that the two constituencies of Gainsborough, and South Holland and the Deepings could remain wholly unchanged, while Grantham and Stamford CC, and Louth and Horncastle CC would be changed following changes to local government ward boundaries. The electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham CC constituency was too large at 86,652, while that of its neighbouring constituencies of Lincoln BC (at 67,115) and Boston and Skegness CC (66,250) were too small. Commissioners therefore agreed that the five wards comprising the town of North Hykeham, and the Waddington West ward be included in the new Lincoln constituency, which in turn loses the Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East ward to the Sleaford constituency. It would not be possible to retain this ward in the Lincoln constituency without dividing the town of North Hykeham. In order to further reduce the electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, and to increase that of Boston and Skegness, Commissioners also agreed the transfer of the additional two wards of Kirkby la Thorpe and South Kyme, and Heckington Rural from the existing Sleaford constituency.

  • The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange
    The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange – Order 201X Local Highway Authority Response to Stage 2 Statutory Public Consultation Pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act 2008 and Regulation 11 of the Infrastructure Planning (EIA) Regulations 2009 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for consulting Northamptonshire Highways as the Local Highway Authority (LHA) for Northamptonshire. This response is made without prejudice to any views expressed by other functions within Northamptonshire County Council, or those of Highways England with regard to the strategic road network. This response represents the combined comments of all relevant sections of Northamptonshire Highways, having consulted those teams internally. Transport Assessment The LHA has met the Applicant of the Northampton Gateway proposals and their highways consultants/engineers, along with Highways England, for some time as part of a Transport Working Group (TWG). This TWG has resulted in agreement over the likely traffic predicted to be generated by the proposed development (both light and heavy vehicles) over the course of a typical day, and in particular the peak hours on the highway network. A methodology for distributing the development trips on the road network is also agreed, based on utilisation of the County Council’s Strategic Transport Model, known as the NSTM. The NSTM has been further validated in the area surrounding the proposed development to ensure that it is fit for purpose as the basis for forecasting future traffic levels. In line with the Core Strategy Plan Period the future year for assessment purposes is 2031. Both the baseline and forecast NSTM models have been signed off by the County Council as fit for purpose.

  • Monthly News Report June 2021
    Councillor Steve Clarke HACKLETON AND GRANGE PARK MONTHLY NEWS REPORT JUNE 2021 1 Councillor Steve Clarke HACKLETON AND GRANGE PARK News Report June 2021 First Meeting of West NorthAmptonshire Council 20th May 2021 Cllr Ann Addison and Cllr Andre Gonzalez De Savage were appointed Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Council. Cllr Jonathan Nunn and Cllr Adam Brown became Leader and Deputy Leader. Membership of the Cabinet and Committees were agreed. We formally agreed to ‘make’ the Ashton Neighbourhood Plan, which was considered at the Referendum on the 6th May 2021. 95% of those who voted did so in favour, which exceeds the required greater than 50%. By agreeing to this recommendation, we made this document a part of our Statutory Development Plan for the Area. Wombling with the HAckleton Wombles On the 19th May, I enjoyed a Wombling session with Leigh Mitchell and the Hackleton Wombles. We spent the morning clearing litter from the ditch adjacent to the lay-by on the B526 near the Menagerie. But I now know that calling it litter is a misnomer. We collected a pallet, rubber piping, tyres, clean recyclables, builder’s rubble, cans, bottles, a VHS video player and bottles with uncertain content! The team are doing a fantastic job and I applaud them for their hard work. It was lovely to see the ditch free of rubbish and the water flowing freely as we left. “Fly-tipping is inexcusable. It is not only an eyesore for residents, but also a serious public health risk, creating pollution and attracting rats and other vermin.
