We hope you all had a good Christmas and that New Year has started off well. As Cllrs we get the blame for everything, such as vehicles being parked on pavements or double yellow lines, speeding and dog dirt. We try our best to get this sorted, BUT it is residents that are causing these issues not your Cllrs.

A Planning application your Councillors are looking into and keeping an on

Persimmon homes are asking for a discharge of condition 9 (phasing Plan) on application

P/22/1994/2 which shows that the developer has brought forward the employment area to phase 3, this will have an impact on Hathern Road especially the Hathern Road junction which for many years has seen an increase in traffic. The only access to the employment area for construction will be via Hathern Road, as the main link road through the development (Garendon Estate) won’t be in place. We feel based on this change to the phasing plan it is extremely important that the Hathern Junction is upgraded prior to any works on the employment area, as you may be aware Persimmon are asking that they do not carry out these improvements which was part of the original planning application condition.

Tree Protection Orders (TPO’s)

We are working with officers at Charnwood to get TPO’s on trees on Jubilee Walk and also on land off Tickow Lane which could in the future be part of development applications. Thanks must be given to the Town Cllr Ken Lowson who did this survey which was submitted to Charnwood.

ALDI supermarket

At the December plans meeting which Cllr Popley attendented and spoke on the planning application concerning Aldi’s desire to purchase and build a new complex near to Leicester Road/Ashby Road East. Cllr Popley spoke mainly in favour of the item. Cllr Popley raised concerns regarding the need to improve the highways nearby to account for this change, not only in relation to the prospective store itself, but also, any other additional businesses which may be built adjacent to it. TPO’s have been put on the trees nearby. We look forward to continuing the discussion about the road layout ahead of the scheme’s main build phase.

Jubilee Walk

We are pleased to report that Charnwood managed to successfully lodge the foot path as an Asset of Community Value. We are very grateful to all the residents who have completed the forms to ask that county make this as a permanent right of way, lodging these forms with the Town Council and Cllr Radford as the County Cllr has taken them into County’s Right of Way department. We will keep you all informed as to what is happening. (A full report from Cllr David Northage Chairman of Shepshed Town Council is in this magazine)
