The weather has been very kind, apart from an unseasonably cold spell with a severe frost, so those that planted out tender plants will be disappointed. Not to worry, the potatoes will soon recover, they may be a couple of weeks later than planned. The old adage “Cast not a clout, ‘til May is out” still holds true. The garden centres and nurseries should be opening up now, so there is still plenty of time to plant beans, courgettes, squash and pumpkins. June is a busy month in the garden, there is sowing to be done, planting, weeding and watering, as a reward there will be broad beans, early potatoes, lettuce and spinach. The last of the spring cabbages will be nearly over and it is wise to stop cutting asparagus at the start of June. Mulch where possible, it helps retain moisture and keep down weeds, but never let the vegetables go short of water in hot, dry spells. Nets over the carrots will deter the carrot fly, enjoy your new produce. 11 12 The past few weeks have been very challenging for many of us in varying ways.

  • Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:55 AM Page 81 Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001 Note. Archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant sections below. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the individual or organisation that undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations, please see above, p.iv. Some entries relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2001, but not previously reported. LEICESTER ABBEY Leicester Abbey (SK 584 060) James Meek and Richard Buckley In July and August 2001, University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) undertook a second training excavation in Abbey Grounds, Abbey Park, Leicester, for second-year students of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, Leicester University. The Abbey Grounds lie to the west of the River Soar, and contain the excavated plan of Leicester Abbey, one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses in the country, together with the ruins of Cavendish House, a mansion of the 16th-17th century. The fieldwork concentrated on Cavendish House, although trenches were also examined within the chapter house of the abbey. Cavendish House Although most of the abbey buildings, including the church, were razed to the ground within a few years of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538, the main gatehouse, boundary walls and farm buildings survived. Under the ownership of the Hastings and Cavendish families in the 16th and 17th centuries, the gatehouse became a domestic residence and underwent many structural modifications. It was burnt down in 1645 during the English Civil War and in the 18th and 19th centuries the ruined shell was further reused for different phases of farmhouse buildings.

The strategy • Community Development • Leisure and Culture • Jobs and Prosperity • Education and Training • Mobility and Transport • Housing • Environment • Health and Care • Safety and Protection 6. Suggested actions 7. What happens next? 8. Membership of the Melton Community Partnership. 9. Abbreviations 2 1. INTRODUCTION This is Melton’s first community strategy. It is the first time that we have tried to create an agreed view about what the borough of Melton should be aiming for and the best way to get there. It brings together the needs and hopes of local people and the organisations that work in the borough into a shared vision. The vision explains where we want to be. We want to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the borough of Melton to achieve a sustainable, prosperous and vibrant community…. a place where people want to live, work and visit. The strategy explains how we can all help to achieve this vision. Partnerships, organisations and the community have achieved a great deal in the borough of Melton. Most local people think that Melton is a good place to live, but there are still things that can be improved and this strategy can help to co-ordinate actions and carry them through the current decision-making processes. This strategy is all about: • making things better in the borough of Melton; • taking account of local views; • improving the quality of life; and • co-ordinating partnerships.
