Derby DE1 1AN.
and all three of your local councillors.
A waste of £90,000 undoing recently completed street works, instead of spending it enhancing other parts of Connecting Derby, many of which were suggested by DCG members and given to the council by us.
No proper analysis of the cause of a claimed fall in trade in the area has been carried out. We risk implementing something which will not solve the problem.
This is a blinkered approach to transport planning, with unwarranted bias towards cars (which already have a new ring road) and an abandonment of any notion of an integrated transport policy.
A lack of proper consultation, with Councillor Hickson bulldozing his own ideas through, disregarding local democracy.
Cars can still access every street they could prior to the inner ring road opening and parking provision is virtually the same as before. The inner ring road has now to be used to get to some streets instead of cutting through the city centre on that tortuous old “ring road”.
Some local traders and the Bold Lane car park are reporting reduced trade since the inner ring road opened. However no proper analysis of the cause of this fall in trade has been carried out.
Derby Cycling Group are proposing alternative solutions to redress the perceived fall in trade in the Cheapside area, but Councillor Hickson will not consider these.
We feel that the recent job losses at Bombardier, Egg and the Post Office will also be affecting trade, we need to know about trade in other parts of the city.
Derby Cycling Group have suggested that better signage to the Cathedral Quarter car parks and promotion of the new Connecting Derby road layout could help to restore trade. However, Councillor Hickson has so far not agreed to meet with us to discuss the matter. He has decided by himself what should be done.
The Green Party has condemned the Tory/Lib Dem coalition government for giving a £3 billion order of new rolling stock for Thameslink trains to Siemens.
The rival bidder, Derby-based Bombardier, has laid off over a thousand workers, as the last remaining train builder in the country. The Bombardier factory in Derby is now under threat, and so are thousands more jobs in the Derby area in other rail businesses that supply the factory.
At a pre-general-election rail debate in Westminster in 2010 (1), Alan Francis was the only politician to argue not only for more train carriages for the rail network, but to also to state that they should be built in the UK to preserve British jobs.
Francis was on a panel with Chris Mole, then a Labour government transport minister, Stephen Hammond, then a Conservative shadow transport minister, and Norman Baker, then a Lib Dem shadow transport minister. The debate, before an audience of senior rail industry people, was chaired by the BBC’s Nick Owen.
At the council meeting of 26th June, Green Party councillor Matt Follett will ask the ruling administration to follow the example of cities like Portsmouth, Norwich, Lancaster, and Aberdeen and implement tougher speed restrictions in order to improve road safety, and suggest that we should particularly focus on child safety around schools.
3) Social justice – the IPPR Streets Ahead report shows that child pedestrian injuries are four times as likely in poorer areas, than in richer areas.
Fellow Green party councillor and well known promoter of the benefits of cycling, Cllr Phil Gordon, added “Anyone who cycles regularly knows that you would increase cycle use, which would impact on safety and health, the environment and congestion, if you reduced car speeds. Its common sense to take action that will make parents feel safer about their children cycling and walking.
Cllr Follett concluded “I want all parties at the council, and parents and schools, and the wider public, to get behind this, not get bogged down around issues of enforcement, and start taking positive action that will really kick start communities feeling confident in kids walking to school. We need to have children’s rights to health, safety, and justice, and this would really help that.
Revised AIM Rules confirmed
Gateley Legal
On 30 March, following a recent consultation by the London Stock Exchange (LSE), new versions of the AIM Rules for Companies and the AIM Rules for Nominated Advisers will be introduced. The outcome of the consultation has resulted in a number of amendments to both sets of rules.
AIM Rules for Companies
Early notification
A new requirement will be introduced requiring a company’s nominated adviser, or Nomad, to submit an early notification form containing key information relating to the proposed new applicant. This form should be submitted as soon as is reasonably practicable, but before the pre-admission announcement is submitted.
Nomads will be able to exercise a degree of discretion when deciding when to submit the new notification form but the LSE expects them to take into account whether sufficient information can be provided to allow for a meaningful discussion.
The early notification form can be accessed here.
Corporate governance
The amended rules will require details of the recognised corporate governance code the company has chosen to apply and details of how it complies with that code. If the company deviates from the code in any way an explanation as to why must be provided and published on the company’s website. A requirement to include this information in the company’s admission document will also be introduced.
Companies will have until 28 September 2018 to comply with these new provisions but the new admission document requirements will apply from the earlier date of 30 March 2018.
The LSE has chosen not to provide a list of recognised governance codes and appreciates that all AIM companies are different. Companies are likely to adopt either the UK Corporate Governance Code or the QCA Code, the first of which is expected to be updated later this year.
AIM Rules for Nomads
Appropriateness for admission
Amendments to the AIM Rules for Nomads will introduce a list of factors which could affect a company’s appropriateness for AIM. It is important for Nomads to have early discussions with the LSE where the circumstances of the applicant company could affect its appropriateness for submission. The factors included on the list can be of significant importance and each in their own right could mean that an applicant is not appropriate for AIM.
There are likely to be circumstances where one particular factor, which when considered on its own would not prevent an admission, could when considered alongside other factors lead to a conclusion that the applicant is not appropriate for admission.
Some of the matters that could potentially affect appropriateness include:
- questions as to the good character, skills, experience or previous history of a key shareholder, such as a director;
- the basis for seeking admission being unclear;
- prior formal criticism of the applicant company from other regulatory bodies;
- the applicant being denied admission to trading on another recognised exchange;
- the applicant having a vague business model; or
- the corporate structure of the applicant giving rise to concerns.
Updated versions of both sets of rules can be found on the London Stock Exchange website.
Any new applicants to AIM after 30 March 2018 will be required to comply with these new requirements. The later September deadline for compliance with the new corporate governance requirements has likely been driven by the imminent changes to the existing UK Corporate Governance Code, therefore giving affected companies more time to adjust to the new regime by tweaking internal processes.
Forward thinking insight
Direct to your email inboxSubscribe nowI have been teaching both instrumental and classroom music for 16 years, working as Head of Music in many schools as well as tutoring individuals and groups on the violin. I can therefore offer more than just instrumental tuition, but can also cover music theory, composition, aural and listening elements of music in preparation for instrumental and GCSE music examinations. I'm a regular performer myself and have worked with local music services, so I have access to ensembles and performing groups for those students that want to get more practice and enjoy the social side of music. I am classically trained but my lessons are tailored to individuals' own interests, skills and learning styles. I come to you, so students learn in the comfort of their own home, and offer 30 minute or 60 minute lessons.
