The Thorpebury Liaison Group, which includes representatives from Charnwood Borough Council, Leicester City Council, Barkby & Barkby Thorpe Parish Council, Thurmaston Parish Council, Hamilton Residents Association, BABTAG and ‘Duck Pond’ residents, met with developer CEG to discuss the proposals for the first phase of the Thorpebury development. Queries were answered about progress with the early transport mitigation measures in Barkby and Barkby Thorpe, the Construction Management Plan and the timescales for the proposed SouthernAccess. An update was provided about the recent archaeological investigations which didn’t unearth anything unusual. CEG also provided an update regarding the ongoing discussions with the education authorities to finalise the scope for the first primary school in respect of the principles, structure and process set out. The aim is to provide a high-quality school with sustainable features, so the design is key. CEG highlighted that they are in liaison with a local retail outlet that would sell local provisions and would be linked to a new community building located at the entrance of the site, helping to create a sense of community from very early in the scheme.
