Hardy and determined walkers and runners took on the Woodhouse May Day Challenge, which had the greatest number of entries in its five-year history, (p.17). Villagers came together at the Annual Parish Meeting (p.11) and Woodhouse Neighbourhood Watch meeting (p.13) to discuss issues affecting the area, particularly speeding, and the best way to tackle them. While looking ahead, the organizers are ramping up their preparations for the BioBlitz, 24 hours of wildlife fun (p.15), and the Horticultural Show (p.18). Dawn Kirby Parish council news What happens each May? The May meeting is the start of the new council year. The previous year’s final accounts must be approved before they go to internal and external auditors; and the council re-examines its current year’s budget to make sure nothing is missed and that there is enough to cope with unexpected problems. Year-end accounts appeared to be in good shape thanks to considerable effort from Emily Rowley who has coped admirably with her first attempt at producing them since she took office last summer. The council also has to elect a chair and vice-chair every year. Mark Woodland and Les Pole were re-elected to these roles unanimously. Once in place, the chair then encourages councillors to take responsibility for council committees and any external bodies to which they are invited to send a council representative. Councillors also approve annual subscriptions and donations; agree on meeting dates for the year; and volunteer to make risk assessments of all the property and processes for which the council is responsible e.g. play ground equipment, roadside seats, roadside gardens, war memorial and so on. Full details will appear on the council website and in the minutes of the May meeting. The normal monthly meeting business then follows. After a short break, councillors meet as the corporate trustee for the King George’s Field Charity. Here are some of the topics they discussed: The children’s play area Unfortunately, the spinner in the under-fives play area was damaged recently so options for a repair are being explored as it is such a popular item with young children. New ones cost £500. Roundabout June 2013 5 6 Roundabout June 2013 Parents have very kindly raised the funds to provide a new play facility in the same area – tyre play. They will contribute almost all of the cost except for a small sum given by Leicestershire police. At the other end of the play area, the older wooden equipment is continuing to wear out – the next casualty is likely to be the monkey bars, which are now well-worn. The old scout hut This is now in a very poor state. Fund-raising for a new building continues but meanwhile the project has been advertised to potential builders. They will have to confirm their competence before being sent a copy of the tender specification, so some time after mid-June we should know who is interested in demolishing the old hut and erecting a new building in its place. The King George’s Field Charity is not allowed to erect buildings for the sole use of any one group, so the new building will be available to all, but of course, the scout group will be an important and regular user. The scout group leaders and councillors are discussing how bookings will be handled and what the letting fees will be. As things happen, the council’s website page and Roundabout will be updated. Ann Irving, Clerk to the Council For parish council information, including meeting dates and minutes, see http://woodhouseparishcouncil.org.uk/ News in brief Charnwood Local Plan Core Strategy Find out more and have a say about Charnwood Borough Council’s Local Plan Core Strategy at Woodhouse Eaves Village Hall from 2.00pm to 4.00pm on Monday, 17th June. The strategy is a series of documents which show where the council, which is the planning authority, proposes to allow developments like housing to be built up until 2028. It is currently open to public consultation which will run until 24th June. For more information visit www.localplan.charnwood.gov.uk Editor Reporting HGV complaints Changes are coming into force about how complaints concerning HGVs breaking the 7.5-tonne weight restrictions on the parish’s roads are dealt with by the police and Leicestershire County Council’s highways department. In the past, complaints made were all followed up immediately but this will no longer be the case. They can still be made by calling 101 or Roundabout June 2013 7 emailing [email protected] but unless resources are available in the area at the time to follow it up immediately, it will be logged and passed on to the local policing unit. Complaints can also be made to Woodhouse Parish Council clerk Ann Irving who will collate them and pass them on. It is hoped that information sent to the police and parish council can be used to identify problem hotspots which can be targeted. All complaints should contain specific details such as date, time, location, and, if possible, lorry registration number or company name. Editor Woodhouse character appraisal A team from Charnwood Borough Council’s Conservation and Design team came to Woodhouse Eaves Village Hall on Tuesday, 30th April to launch the Draft Conservation Area Character Appraisal for Woodhouse Forest Road and Woodhouse School Lane. The Forest Road Conservation Area has been in place since 1972 and the School Lane Conservation Area was designated in 1993, classifying the areas as ‘designated heritage assets’ and giving the council more control over development and demolition in these areas, notice of works to trees and an expectation of higher quality design in future planning applications. The character appraisal looks at what should be protected or enhanced, helps property owners with formulating their planning applications and helps to apply for funds or encourage investment in the area. The public consultation about the document ended in May and the council’s cabinet will meet on 4th July to decide whether to adopt the appraisal. Editor 8 Roundabout June 2013 Diamond jubilee plaque installed A new plaque to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is now in place above the war memorial near St Paul’s Church in Woodhouse Eaves The bad winter delayed the installation of the plaque, which is made from Swithland slate, but now that spring has arrived it was put in place and the base was renovated by stonemason James Toon. Local History Group chair, Brian Axon first mooted the idea of a plaque, and with the permission of the group he approached Woodhouse Parish Council to ask if he could arrange for the work to be done. Most of the cost was covered by the council with a Local History Group chair Brian Axon with contribution from the Local History the diamond jubilee plaques.

    Quorn Walks Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir This is one of the set of six 9 km (5.5 miles) Pubs at start and end. Cafés on route at check points 3 and 4. Terrain: Start to Checkpoint 1 - Flat paved, Checkpoint 1 to 2 – Uneven, muddy during wet weather, Checkpoint 2 to 4 - Paved hilly. Checkpoint 4 to Finish - Flat paved, Bus stops: Regularly spaced along the route from start to Checkpoint 1 (No.154) and from Check point 4 to finish (No.127). Starting at Quorn Cross, the centre and main crossroads of the village, set off along Meeting Street. Beyond the award-winning Memorial Garden and the flood barrier to the left flows Buddon Brook, whose course we will be following all the way upstream to Swithland Reservoir. The many items of interest along Meeting Street and then Chaveney Road are explained in walk 5 in this series. In this case we walk about half a mile before turning left and joining the public right of way at the footpath sign just past Elms Drive (Checkpoint 1 on the map) Soon after turning left, we pass the site of the former Chaveney’s Water Mill (also called Quorn Water Mill, now Mill Farm). From the 16th to the 19th century, when Swithland Reservoir was built, a mill race from the brook was the motive power for this corn mill; the actual site of the old millwheel is not visible from the public footpath. Just after we enter the brookside path itself, you can see the remains of an ancient moated site beyond the far bank.

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr.

Introduction The Neighbourhood Plan Where modifications are recommended, they are presented as bullet points and highlighted in bold print, with any proposed new wording in italics. This Report provides the findings of the examination into the Thurcaston and Cropston Neighbourhood Plan (referred to as the Neighbourhood Plan). Neighbourhood planning provides communities with the power to establish their own policies to shape future development in and around where they live and work. “Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and deliver the sustainable development they need.” (Paragraph 183, National Planning Policy Framework) Thurcaston and Cropston Parish Council is the qualifying body responsible for the production of this Neighbourhood Plan. This is in line with the aims and purposes of neighbourhood planning, as set out in the Localism Act (2011), the National Planning Policy Framework (2012) and Planning Practice Guidance (2014). This Examiner’s Report provides a recommendation as to whether or not the Neighbourhood Plan should go forward to a Referendum.
