Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
In April 2023 we published a draft cycle storage document and undertook citywide public consultation for comment.
25 responses were received, 21 from individuals and 4 representing interest groups.
Many comments were positive and supported the provision of the document but felt it should go further.
Requests were made for greater provision of cycle storage and facilities by the city council and that the needs of wider groups of cycle users and cycle types should be better considered.
Many responses asked for more stringent requirements for new-build developments while others asked for a more lenient approach to allowing cycle storage in front gardens and for more detailed guidance to be published on what types of cycle store would be likely to be approved.
All comments have been scrutinised and noted and the document has been amended to incorporate suggestions made. The revised document will be made available on the city council website in due course and will be used as informal guidance to guide cycle parking provision in planning applications.
Comments made about city council cycle provision, which fell outside the scope of the document have been passed to the relevant department for further consideration.
In March / April 2023 we undertook a public consultation with parents/ carers, families, and the workforce delivering, and receiving, the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme, to gather views on the use of a Section 75 Agreement to re-commission Leicestershire Partnership NHS’s Healthy Together service to continue to run the offer, as well as to get feedback on proposed changes to the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme offer.
We asked respondents to give their views on the following proposals:
114 responses were received via our online consultation platform from parents, carers, 0-19 Healthy Child Programme workforce, Leicester City Council staff and other relevant workforce staff. Responses were analysed by council officers, and a summary of the findings are below:
Section 75 Agreement:
3-4 Month Contact
3-3.5 Year Review
Intensive Health Visiting (Early Start)
Year 7, 9, and 11 Digital Health Contact
Additional stakeholder feedback was also received outside of this online process including sessions with young people and parents.
A decision has been made by Leicester City Council to use a Section 75 Agreement to continue to commission Leicestershire Partnership Trust to deliver the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme in Leicester.
The changes proposed in the consultation will be implemented and the new contract will commence October 2023 and run for seven years.
Feedback and comments received reflected what the council had already considered, and issues will be addressed and mitigated in the new contract due to start in October 2023.
During February/ March 2023 we undertook a public engagement with residents and businesses in the Stoneygate area to obtain views on a potential residents parking scheme. We asked respondents: "Do you support the introduction of a permit scheme on your street that operates at all times of the day, 7 days a week?"
Approximately 1,680 residential and business dwellings were invited to take part in the consultation. In total we have received 518 responses on paper and via this website from residents and businesses in the area. Responses were analysed by council officers.
In addition, respondents included comments both for and against residents parking in the area.
The response data and comments have been analysed in more detail to determine whether or not to continue with further engagement with residents and businesses over potential measures to manage parking in the area.
Residents’ responses to our 2023 public engagement on possible traffic measures in the Stoneygate area indicated that there is a significant support for a residents’ parking scheme in area affected by non-residents.
Based on these consultation responses, we are now preparing for a formal engagement involving Traffic Regulation Order process.
