Decisions

Creation of Healthy Leicestershire will make it easier for our residents to access and engage with Public Health information and services, supporting positive behaviour change. It will also likely lead to reduced digital costs in the future by consolidation of current provision, whilst also freeing up staff resources by having fewer digital services to update and manage.

The new solutions will consolidate existing online presence into one accessible and engaging ‘Healthy Leicestershire’ website and app. The spend for this procurement will exceed £500k over the life of the proposed contract.

As part of a new residential development on Latimer Street, Anstey, it was required to: remove approximately 7.3m of the existing ‘Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour Mon-Sat 8am-6pm except resident’s parking permit holders’; and to install ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ restrictions for this 7.3m length. The length of these alterations would cover the newly constructed site access. This sought to protect the visibility splays when accessing Latimer Street from the new development and mitigate any potentially obstructive on-street parking, ensuring a safe Highway environment.
It was also proposed to reconfigure the existing ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ restrictions to the southern end of Latimer Street to create 11m of ‘Limited Waiting 1 hour no return within 1 hour Mon-Sat 8am-6pm except resident’s parking permit holders’ parking bays. This sought to compensate for the reduced availability of on-street parking adjacent the new residential development.
