The governments of Canada and British Columbia announced an investment of more than $24.3 million for the construction of a new water treatment plant in Williams Lake.
The project will reduce manganese levels in the drinking water, contributing to the overall well-being and resilience of the community.
“Investments in essential public infrastructure are vital to building healthy and resilient communities. Funding announced today for Williams Lake ensures that residents across the municipality have efficient and safe water infrastructure that provides clean drinking water, better stormwater management, and better protection from inclement weather events,” said Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada.
The project will install approximately 850 metres of new watermain, providing the community with an increased supply of fresh, clean drinking water. The new water treatment plant will include a chlorination and filtration system that will lower manganese levels in the drinking water which is important for public health, especially among vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.
“Having access to clean drinking water is critical to our well-being, and I know local governments are working hard to ensure community members’ health and safety,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs. ” That’s why we are investing in a water treatment plant in Williams Lake so the communities in the Cariboo region have access to safe, reliable drinking water while protecting our natural resource,” said Anne Kang, B.C. Minister of Municipal Affairs.
“Williams Lake has been focused on this project for a number of years and we are pleased that this partnership funding will help to deliver. A new water treatment plant will serve our community for decades into the future and is an essential investment in the Cariboo region. We are very thankful to both Provincial and Federal governments for their continued support,” said Surinderpal Rathor, Mayor of Williams Lake.

The Town of Hilton Head Island now owns and will care for Main Street, from Hospital Center Boulevard to Wilborn Road.
The Town recently accepted ownership responsibilities from the Main Street Commercial Property Owners’ Association for the Main Street segment from Whooping Crane Way near the Hilton Head Plantation entrance to Wilborn Road, including side streets - Central Avenue, Museum Street, Merchant Street, and Meeting Street. This is in addition to the segment already owned by the Town, running from Hospital Center Boulevard to the Whooping Crane Way Circle.
"Town Council voted to acquire rights of way from property owners. Subsequently, the Town staff and the POA members have diligently worked on securing ownership and finalizing this transfer. With this process now concluded, we are ready to restore Main Street and adjacent side streets," said Shawn Colin, Assistant Town Manager - Community Development.
In the next several weeks, the Town will begin addressing many of the most pressing maintenance issues along this busy roadway and adjacent side streets, including Central Avenue and Merchant, Museum, and Meeting streets. A contractor has been engaged and will commence work in January 2024 and continue for approximately six to eight weeks, depending upon the weather. This initial round of repairs includes the following:
Access to structures, driveways, and businesses will remain available throughout the maintenance construction. However, motorists are advised to be on the lookout for construction warning signs. On-site workers will manage traffic.
Future endeavors will involve collaborating with local stakeholders to devise a conceptual design for streetscape enhancements, such as pathways, sidewalks, landscaping, and lighting. Additionally, intersection improvements at Wilborn Road and Hospital Center Boulevard and enhancements to pedestrian and vehicular signage are in the pipeline.
"This is a project that has been on the wish list of citizens and businesses for a long time," said Hilton Head Island Mayor Alan Perry. "We appreciate the support of those who work along Main Street in helping make this change happen. We look forward to creating a new chapter and improved Main Street corridor, which will only enhance that area now and in the future."

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors has declared a homeless shelter crisis.
The declaration means that the county is now eligible for up to $4.8 million in grant funding to help address homelessness.
Many cities in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties have already declared a shelter crisis in their communities to try to get some of the $500 million in state money available under the Homeless Shelter Emergency Aid Program.
The Paso Robles City Council will also consider declaring a crisis at Tuesday night’s meeting.
The public can provide input on how San Luis Obispo County should spend the funds via an online survey.

It was brought to our attention, by our fantastic PCSO, about the problem of overgrown trees in Spring Boroughs Pocket Park. Previously it was maintained by the residents but for a variety of reasons this was no longer possible and the Pocket Park was handed back to the Borough Council. This happened some time ago.
Overgrown trees are problem in our town and Spring Boroughs Pocket Park clearly shows this. After much persuasion over a period of six weeks we have got one tree cut back and now there are three more trees to scale back in the near future. Overgrown trees are a bit of a hazard as people can trip over long branches, slip on wet leafs and they block day light. Our Labour colleague Cllr Julie Davenport has been regularly highlighting the problem of overgrown trees at Council meetings.
We need to have better CCTV in the Spring Boroughs Pocket Park to act as a deterrent against anti-social behaviour but this is not possible for the time being because the overgrown trees are blocking the view of the camera. We don’t want it to be a magnet for fly tipping and low level anti-social behaviour at night time.
Spring Borough Pocket Park is a fantastic asset for the local community and when it first opened it was well maintained. Couples and families always went there. People still use it and take pride it’s on their doorstep but unfortunately litter and overgrown trees make it a less welcoming place. Pocket parks, like the one we have in Spring Boroughs, are hidden gems in our town. They just need to be maintained properly by us all.

Every year, the Town of Harrisburg completes sanitary sewer rehabilitation projects. These projects are intended to extend the life of the system utilizing trenchless technologies and alternative methods of repair and rehabilitation. The Town intends to utilize this Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) to identify primary areas of concern within the Bradford Park Subdivision and use the study to prioritize future system improvements. The objectives of the SSES include:
Evaluation of approximately 24,700 linear feet (LF) of sanitary sewer and approximately 95 manholes using Smoke Testing and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Generation of individual reports summarizing the results of each element inspected. An example of an element is an individual manhole or pipe segment between manholes. Each element will be assigned a characterization of level of function and quality which can be used to rate the structures and pipe segments by need of repair.
Anticipated Start Date for Evaluation: Spring 2020
Repairs may begin immediately depending on severity of impairments. All other repairs are anticipated to begin in the Spring of 2021.


Construction on BNSF bridge nearing completionMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - The old wooden bridge is coming down and new steel and concrete is going in. No doubt you have heard, seen or felt work going on in the heart of downtown Moorhead this week.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
The old wooden bridge is coming down and new steel and concrete is going in. No doubt you have heard, seen or felt work going on in the heart of downtown Moorhead this week. BNSF crews and contractors are working around the clock to replace a bridge between Main and Center.
The good news for those living downtown is the pile driver, the noise maker, is expected to shutdown within the hour. That part of the project will be complete, and by the end of the weekend a railroad bridge will be in place, and people living near the tracks can sleep again.
It is work that has to be done, and it is going on day and night. BNSF workers along with contractors driving sections of heavy steel deep into the ground as a new bridge goes up.
Dawn Groslie – Lives in Condo Near Tracks: “They just told us it was going to be a lot of noise.”
Dawn Groslie just moved into a condo near the construction site.
Dawn Groslie: “I think I am going to get ear plugs. Sleeping is kind of an issue.”
Overlooking the tracks and the river. She along with other tenants downtown, like David Fischer met with BNSF, heard details of the project and even received some money.
David Fischer – Lives in Condo Near River: “Surprised there is not more vibration. I was able to get a couple of ear plugs recently and I used those at night and no problem.”
Months of planning went into this 24 hour a day project but the two things BNSF had no control over were the weather and the river. It wasn't until days ago that the river dropped enough so BNSF could begin the project. By tonight, work will continue, but the noisy pile driver will finish its job, making for a much quieter night of sleep.
There is a lot of oily mist that is floating around during the bridge work. That is why tarps are covering some of the condos near the river.
Even during the project, trains are running on a second Main track, through the center of Moorhead. Because of so many crews working, trains will still be sounding horns in the quiet zones in Moorhead. Close to 20 fewer trains a day are traveling through town while the work is going on, but BNSF says having the 24 hour a day work cycle is needed to get this third phase complete.
Amy McBeth – BNSF Spokesperson: “By doing it in this concentrated effort we have all the crews there and all of the work done as quickly as possible the end result is really preventing a project from taking months.”
The 3rd street underpass and bike path along the river there will be closed until the last week of this month.


The tactile paving tiles system T-Step is made in accordance with size parameters of Technical Standard BS 7997:2003. The specific innovation of this system is to provide to blind and visually impaired people both tactile and vocal information (only in those places where the vocal service has been activated).
Furthermore, it is possible to install the system simply by placing it on existing flooring, saving on building works, greatly speeding up the operations and without having to set up a building site for the area.
The tactile system is made of high resistance M-PVC-P technopolymer, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
In this way, the environment becomes quickly compatible with the orientation needs of blind and visually impaired people to guarantee them both safety and autonomy when moving.


I FOUND our leader's Personally Speaking column on Saturday, August 2, quite interesting and informative.
It reminded me of some of the usual and not so usual happenings.
He says that we are at a crossroads, but I think it could be a roundabout with us going in circles with Government cuts.
The first being £20 million which 'we' achieved, plus a small council development (Smithfield).
I think this was noticed by the Government and therefore set a target of £150 million to save.
He mentions Lloyd Cooke's item regarding the city's progress, but I can't remember the council's name being mentioned amongst the front runners.
Then there is the thriving city centre and its new state of the art bus station, ready to welcome visitors.
It's good to see that First Bus is helping by moving from the bus station back onto the streets, and reducing bus numbers.
Maybe he could explain the idea of moving business to the Smithfield site when there are plenty of facilities in the centre, with the City Sentral still to be completed.
In November 2013, our chief executive was asking for ideas on helping the city. Now Mr Pervez has caught-on and is also asking for your help by coming to his meetings.
You never know, you could get to try the new Smithfield furniture.

The committee to create a memorial for the victims of last year's deadly building collapse at 22nd and Market streets will unveil a preliminary concept at a community meeting Tuesday, and will also seek input from residents.
"Now that the Salvation Army has agreed to transfer the site of its former thrift store at 22nd and Market to the City, the volunteer 22nd and Market Memorial Committee will present concepts for the planned memorial park, designed to pay tribute to the six people who were killed in the building collapse there on June 5, 2013," says a press release sent out by the building collapse memorial committee.
The group, which has been fundraising for the memorial with an Indiegogo campaign, will unveil its concept and seek community input at the meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening. Community members will have a chance to questions and provide their ideas about how the memorial should be designed.
Among those speaking at this event will be the committee co-chairs and parents of victim Anne Bryan, John White and Nancy Winkler, as well as Harris Steinberg of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, and Scott Aker, an architecture graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania.
The meeting will take place Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia's Thompson Hall, at 19 S. 22nd St.


Overnight closures on A7 near Hawick in place from tonight
Two sets of roadworks on the A7 will continue to cause delays for drivers near Hawick this week.
Resurfacing, taking place between 8pm and 6am each night, begin tonight north of the Mosspaul Hotel and will continue until this Friday, October 4.
Further roadworks will begin on the A7 at Teviothead next Monday, October 7, again nightly, until Friday, October 11.
Northbound traffic will be diverted to exit prior to Canonbie via the B7201 through Kilpatrick junction for 12 miles to Newcastleton. From here, traffic will turn right onto a single track bridge on the B6357 and proceed for 18 miles to the Bonchester Bridge/A6088 junction.
Traffic will follow the A6088 for five miles and at the junction will turn left onto the A698 towards Hawick. At Mart Street roundabout, traffic will take the third exit onto Mart Street and can rejoin the A7 at the next roudabout. Southbound traffic will follow a reversed diversion.
These schemes have been planned in consultation with Transport Scotland, Traffic Scotland, the emergency services, Borders Buses, Dumfries and Galloway Council, and Scottish Borders Council.


NEW YORK — Authorities said a widespread power shortage in Manhattan on Saturday evening left businesses without electricity, elevators stuck and subway cars stalled.
Power reportedly went out at much of Rockefeller Center, and the outage reached the city’s Upper West Side. The full extent of the outage, however, wasn’t clear.
A diner on Broadway at West 69th Street lost its lights, as did other surrounding businesses.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority tweeted that there were outages at various underground stations. The MTA was working with Con Edison to determine the cause.
Con Edison did not immediately respond to phone messages.

Taxpayers have already spent close to $160 million on the Columbia River Crossing. We don’t have one piece of steel bought, nor one inch of concrete poured.
The I-205 bridge cost $175 million to build in its entirety and is 144 feet high. Reading the Feb. 18 story, “CRC foes, backers sound off in Senate,” we now learn via accountant Tiffany Couch’s testimony to the state Senate Transportation Committee that the real cost will be $5.5 billion, including $3.3 billion in tolls.
When the Washington state Supreme Court has told us that school funding is below acceptable levels, meaning the Legislature must spend more tax dollars on education, there is no money left for the currently proposed CRC. The money already spent could have built a majority of a new bridge. Sadly, we have a bridge too low and cost overruns and budget proposals that attempt to hide the true cost of both the bridge, light rail, and much more.
Just say “no.” We can’t afford otherwise.

Save Old Ocean View (OV)!
0 have signed. Let’s get to 2,500!
Herein is a PETITION to stop the City of Norfolk, from demolishing the building and closing the restaurant of Greenies at 196 West Ocean View Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23503. The restaurant is an establishment which has historical, cultural and community values that will be irreparably lost by the City's unfortunate negligence and rush to demolish said property without adequate public discourse, hearing, notice, debate, nor consideration of its impact to the Willoughby Beach and Ocean View beach communities of Norfolk. This will adversely impact the families and employees of said establishment with deep community and military ties. This will remove a historical and cultural restaurant and bar that has served many Ocean View and Willoughby residents, military families and their loved ones since 1930.
Our hometown bar has survived 1930s prohibition and is almost a 100 years old. The City of Norfolk announced March 9 their plans to purchase The Greenies establishment to create more beach access. Ocean View has lost too many landmarks that has stripped away it's history.
Ocean View and Willoughby Spit are unique and non-gentrified communities that are not culturally part of the rest of Norfolk. Greenies represents the OV and Willoughby neighborhoods community spirit.
Greenies provides reasonably priced food and drinks directly on the waterfront, and is home to the servicemen and women of Naval Station Norfolk.
The City Council should stop trying to force downtown Norfolk community standards onto OV and Willoughby neighborhoods, and stop trying to remove competitors that would compete with the newly renovated Waterside Development. Competition is good, and so is diversity.
Please sign this petition to tell Mayor Kenny Alexander and the City Council of Norfolk not to demolish the one remaining cultural symbols of OV, Greenies Restaurant & Beach Grill. The City can preserve the culture and find management to run the restaurant. The City needs to have a discussion with Norfolk residents before making plans and destroying an OV treasure.

If you are planning on having retaining walls built on your property, consider using Unilock’s premium wall stones. They have the beautiful appearance of natural stones but greater durability than natural materials.
Unilock stones also allow for a simplified installation process thanks to their tongue-and-groove design which eliminates the need for mortar. And, because they are available with tapered edges, you can build either straight or curved walls depending on your vision for your property.
Retaining walls can serve many important purposes, including:
Making your property look more attractive – New vertical elements can give your property added visual appeal.
Giving you new places to plant flowers – When you transform a sloped landscape into one that is tiered with retaining walls, you will have many excellent new spaces for planting flowers and shrubs.
Preventing soil erosion – By putting an end to steep slopes on your property, you can help prevent your soil from washing away when it rains.


If you’re thinking of carrying out building works in a conservation area you should seek advice from our Development Control Team.
Areas of special architectural or historic interest are designated as Conservation Areas to help preserve and enhance them for future generations.
There are six designated Conservation Areas in the Borough. You can click on the name below to view the Conservation Area Appraisal.
Each of these areas are reviewed through a programme of appraisals, which are intended to highlight qualities of the area that we see as worthy of protection and enhancement. Once completed, these appraisals will be subject to ongoing monitoring and review.
These appraisals also provide a framework for future development and decision-making by:
The appraisals are aimed at anyone with an interest in the area, whether they are a local resident, planner or developer.

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has invited bids for four-laning of existing Abohar – Fazilka highway, and for the construction of greenfield four-laned Abohar bypass road. The estimated value of this project has been pegged at Rs. 971.81 crore.
Scope of work as per the tender entails four-laning of existing 31.58 Km long stretch of State Highway (SH-20) connecting Abohar and Fazilka in Punjab. Construction of 6.38 Km long greenfield four-laned Abohar bypass road is also included in this tender’s scope. This project will be executed in the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM)* under Bharatmala Pariyojana.
Last date to submit bids for this tender is 1st March 2023.
*Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) refers to a mode of Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) wherein the government and the private player share the project expenses in a 40:60 ratio respectively. After the private player develops the project, it is handed over to the government. The government pays a fixed annuity to the private player for a certain amount of time as defined in the contract.


Since 2019 Greg Smith MP has fought tooth and nail for the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway proposal to be ditched - and is delighted to report that the government has now formally cancelled the project.
After being selected as the Conservative candidate for Buckingham in October 2019, Greg immediately made the case to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps in person against the Expressway, leading to Mr Shapps visiting Buckinghamshire to announce a review of the scheme.
Since being elected, Greg has raised the case against the Expressway multiple times in Parliament and continued to press Transport Ministers to formally drop the project following its formal “pausing”in March 2020.
As no work has been progressed on the scheme at all in well over a year, last month Greg wrote Grant Shapps a letter urging him to finally and formally scrap the Expressway scheme altogether, to give Buckinghamshire residents the peace mind that the destructive, environmentally damaging project will never be built. And today (18th March 2021), the Department for Transport have formally announced the cancellation of the project.
Greg said: "I'm delighted Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has listened to my very grave concerns about this scheme. I have lobbied ministers hard. The enormous devastation that would have been caused to Buckinghamshire countryside is totally unacceptable. East West Rail will improve links. There is no need for this road scheme.
"I want to thank all local residents, Councillors and campaigners that have made their voices heard in making the case against this road. This is a hard earned victory. Residents have already had to endure, in many cases, unnecessary damage to their local surroundings due to the retrograde way in which HS2 Limited and their contractors have acted.
"It is great news for everyone in Buckinghamshire that this unwanted Expressway scheme has been cancelled. It is now imperative we work out locally what improvements to existing local roads we do want to see and work with government and Buckinghamshire Council to agree what we need and want."
Commenting, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “Since his election in 2019, Greg Smith has led the campaign for the cancellation of the expressway, which would not have worked for local residents. I confirmed to Greg today that I had taken the decision to formally scrap this project, so we can instead focus on transport that will help to create jobs, boost links within the region and which, crucially, enjoy public support.”

Resurfacing work taking place on the B4397 near Loppington
Essential resurfacing work began on Monday 17 July 2017 on the B4397 between Loppington and Horton.
The work will take six weeks to complete and will be undertaken under a full road closure between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday.
A signed diversion route via Wem, Harmer Hill and Burlton (and vice-versa) will be in place during these times – see map. If required, traffic lights will be used outside of these hours.
This site has been identified via a combination of asset management data and local engineering judgment and has been deemed in need of essential maintenance. As such we ask for your patience and support while the work is carried out and offer our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused.
Information about the work, including the diversion map, will be available on a dedicated webpage at shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep you informed of progress.
