Double Yellow Lines Ratby Road, Groby
RESIDENTS will be aware that double yellow lines have now be installed along Ratby Road.
I have since received complaints from some local residents that the lines were not required or should have been on the opposite side of the road. Over the last 3 years I have received numerous complaints from the both the Parish Council and the two Groby Borough Councillors demanding that something be done and requesting double yellow lines. This was due to cars now parking on both sides of the road something that had not occurred before. I arranged a meeting at County Hall with Parish councillors, the police and highways officers over this issue. I had previously attended a meeting of local residents, Parish Councillors and the police over safety concerns. I had also arranged for Highway Officers to attend a Parish Council meeting, where all councillors were able challenge them on safety concerns. Again double yellow lines were requested along the right hand side of the road coming into Groby from the direction of Ratby.
I had also received numerous complaints from residents who raised safety concerns regarding the parking. As your County Councillor I took on board all of these safety concerns and the strong requests from both the Parish Council, Borough Councillors and residents. I then arranged for a public consultation to be carried out. The consultation was on the proposal to put double yellow lines along Ratby Road. The consultation was democratically carried out and was well advertised where residents could have their say. The result of the consultation was that the majority supported the proposal. Domestic abuse strategy - let us know if we’re proposing the correct priorities
THE DOMESTIC Abuse (DA) Act received royal assent in April 2021.
The act places a duty on tier one local authorities (the county council) to provide accommodation based support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in refuges and other safe accommodation. It also provides clarity over governance and accountability, requiring tier two councils (district councils), to co-operate with the lead local authority.
A strategic needs assessment must be undertaken to assess the need for accommodation-based domestic abuse support across Leicestershire for all victims. It is a requirement of the DA Act 2021 to produce a DA Reduction Strategy. The needs assessment will further inform the development of this strategy for the provision of support to cover Leicestershire and inform commissioning / de-commissioning decisions.
An eight-week public consultation is taking place from 26 October to 21 December 2021 seeking feedback on the five priorities and to co-produce the strategy. Feedback from the consultation will be incorporated into the final strategy.
Please let us know whether you think these are the correct priorities or not. You can do this by emailing; communitysafetyteam@leics.gov. uk or by calling 0116 3056056
The proposed priorities are: 1. Early Intervention and Prevention 2. Targeted Support 3. Reachable Services 4. DA Act (Part 4) – Safe Accommodation 5. Strong Partnerships

I HAVE received complaints regarding dog faeces on the park, including the following from a local resident:
“Good morning, arrived for my son’s football match this morning at Stamford Park and have had to clear up five bags of dog faeces before they could. I know many people don’t like that the children are using this park for football, however this is absolutely disgusting.
I would kindly ask the small number of dog owners who are responsible to please pick up after your dog. I appreciate the majority already do. I have asked the Borough Council’s Community street warden to monitor the area. Streetsafe - New Pilot Service Available To All
