As the Brexit transition period draws to a close, Highways England has tested a contingency on the M20 in Kent to cope with lorries waiting to cross the Channel.
The London-bound carriageway between Maidstone and Ashford has a moveable barrier to create a contraflow for non-goods vehicles so that the coastbound road can be used for queueing traffic.
The process means the M20 can stay open for all traffic, compared to Operation Stack which meant the coastbound road was shut completely.
The barrier can be deployed very quickly due to the “zipper” machine used to transfer concrete blocks onto the carriageway.

Local Plan hearing sessions to take place
Earlier this year, production of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan reached a key milestone when it was submitted to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on 23rd June.
This signalled the start of the Local Plan's 'examination' stage. As part of this process, public hearing sessions will now be held to help the appointed Inspectors examine the Plan.
The hearing sessions will start on Tuesday, October 10 and take place over two stages.
Stage 1 hearings are currently expected to last for around 8 days. They will be held at:
Boston Borough Council, Municipal Buildings, West Street, Boston, Lincolnshire PE21 8QR (10th-13th October); and
- South Holland District Council, Council Offices, Priory Road, Spalding, Lincolnshire PE11 2XG (24th-27th October).
The Stage 2 hearings will be held at Boston Borough Council Offices only. These sessions will take place on the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th November 2017.
The Inspectors have already identified a number of 'matters' that they wish to be discussed at the hearing sessions. These matters, and the dates on which they will be considered, can be viewed here: http://www.southeastlincslocalplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ED006-Draft-Hearing-Timetable-v1-07-08-17.pdf
The sessions will take the form of a roundtable discussion which the Inspectors will lead. A range of participants will be involved such as developers, planning consultants and members of statutory bodies.
Members of the public can attend the sessions to observe proceedings, but further representations will now be by invitation from the Inspector and only from those who have made comments through the final public consultation stage and have registered their interest in attending the examination.

New Medical Centre for Coulsdon takes MAJOR step forward: Council approves NHS bid for car park site
Many residents in Coulsdon will be aware of the NHS’ long-held plans to build a new medical centre, including a GP surgery, on the car park adjacent to 41 Malcolm Road. Your local MP Chris Philp, alongside Croydon Mayor Jason Perry and the five Conservative Councillors for Coulsdon Town & Old Coulsdon, have been working hard for some time now to bring forward these plans and turn them into reality.
A short while ago, the Council advertised the site on the open market - a legal requirement to ensure the Council’s financial duties were met. The NHS was kept informed throughout, and was able to place its bid for the site.
The deadline for bids has since passed and we are pleased to announce that Council Officers will now progress Heads of Terms and contract exchange with the NHS. This acquisition of the land by the NHS represents a major step forward for the Medical Centre, and the NHS will now work up a planning application for the new Medical Centre which will be submitted to Croydon Council in the usual way.
The NHS will also continue to hold a long lease on the neighbouring CALAT site, for use as a Dialysis Centre.
Jason Perry, Mayor of Croydon, said:
“Residents have been waiting for these medical centre plans to come to fruition for a long time now. We’re delighted to have delivered this important progress, despite the efforts of some local agitators to destabilise the process.
“I’d like to thank the hard work of Council Officers who have ensured that these plans will now move at pace. I would also like to thank Chris Philp MP who has been tirelessly lobbying for improved health services in our Borough, alongside local Councillors Mario Creatura, Ian Parker and Luke Shortland.”

It has been well over a month since the above photo was taken of the dog park at 17th & S. Since then, a small tractor was moved inside the fence giving people hope that construction would finally begin, but was then removed about a week ago. Dog park patrons have still been utilizing a small opening in the fence to let their dogs run around, but yesterday a lock was installed to keep people out. If they’re not going to do any construction, why keep people out?
Mayor Fenty said that the park would be completed by Memorial Day. I’m hoping he meant 2009.

It is not just Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train that is delayed, but the semi-high speed train corridor connecting Mumbai and Delhi too isn’t coming anytime soon. The Mumbai-Delhi corridor will be able to operate semi-high speed trains at 160 kmph not before March 2024. This comes at a time when the Western Railway called tenders for two vital works for the Rs 6661 crore project; namely widening the rail tracks and also creates 2x25000-volt power supply lines.
On June 8, Indian Railways’ top boss Suneet Sharma said that it would take at least two-and-half years for sprucing up this Mumbai-Delhi corridor and make it fit to run at 160 kmph. “Right now, the tracks on this corridor are fit to run trains at 130 kmph. The tracks need input and other infrastructure upgrades. We expect this corridor to be ready by March 2024 after which trains can run at 160 kmph,” said Suneet Sharma, Chairman and CEO, Railway Board.
The semi-high speed train is an ambitious project for the Indian Railways; wherein Mumbai-Delhi and Delhi-Howrah corridors are coming up initially. The increase in speeds will cut down travel time by 4 hours on Mumbai-Delhi corridor from approximately 16 hours now to 12 hours.
As part of the first work that is to widen the ‘cess’ on Churchgate-Surat route in connection to raising speeds of trains to 160 kmph; the WR will be spending Rs 17.72 crore. A cess here means a formation below the tracks and ballasts wherein work will entail creating a wider base on which rail tracks and ballasts will be laid for smoother ride.
This will work as an improved cushioning which will take the load when trains run at speeds of 160 kmph and more. The second work of commissioning 2x25000-volt overhead equipment (OHE) cables on the Virat-Surat stretch at a cost of nearly Rs 31.04 crore will provide more juice to the trains for running at higher speeds.
The railway authorities are trying to normalise the train running situation across the country. In April they had touched operating 1500 trains daily, which has now crossed 880 trains. “We are trying to revive 100 plus trains in the coming days,” said another railway official.

Rail link expected to revive southern Qld regions
Darling Downs' councils are predicting a boom for the local economies once the missing rail link is finished between Toowoomba and Gladstone.
State and local governments have got on board, with the much talked about rail line between Wandoan and Theodore given the go ahead.
Murrilla Shire mayor Roderick Gilmour says it is just the project needed to revive the region.
"The development that would occur in these country towns would be phenomenal," he said.
But Taroom Shire mayor Don Stiller says there are still a number of hurdles to overcome.
"But up until we get a decent transport system you can't expect industry to follow us," he said.
The Dawson Valley railway could be used to transport coal, grain and cotton from southern Queensland within four years.
Work on the 160 kilometre section of track is expected to begin next year.

The Special Adviser on Transportation to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr Sola Giwa has vowed to address the challenges bedeviling Lagosians in the transport sector and usher in an era of efficient, accessible, and sustainable transportation for all Lagosians.
Sola stated this in his acceptance speech which he posted on his twitter page shortly after his inauguration.
He wrote; “I am deeply honored to accept the role to serve the people of Lagos as Special Adviser on Transportation to the Governor. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for entrusting me with this vital responsibility.
“Transportation is the lifeblood of any thriving city, and Lagos State is no exception. I am committed to addressing the challenges we face and ushering in an era of efficient, accessible, and sustainable transportation for all Lagosians.
“In this journey, I pledge to work tirelessly alongside dedicated stakeholders in the transportation sector, innovators, investors, and the incredible people of Lagos State.
“Together, we will create a transportation system that not only eases daily commutes but also enhances the quality of life in our vibrant city.
“I look forward to the challenges ahead, the innovative solutions we will craft, and the greater Lagos we will build together to achieve the THEMES+ agenda of Mr. Governor.
“Thank you, and let’s get to work!.”


COUNCILLORS refused to debate plans to create a travellers’ site in Frodsham and say they will not contribute to the online consultation.
The agenda for Monday’s meeting included “consideration of the town council’s response to consultation of potential gypsy and traveller sites within Vale Royal.”
Residents – who fear a permanent site could be opened near their homes in Ship Street – turned up to lobby councillors.
But they were dumbfounded when Mayor Pammi Taylor said a heavy agenda allowed “no time for an open-ended public debate on something that doesn’t yet exist.”
She said: “We’ve had a letter from the borough council informing us that they have identified four potential travellers sites in Vale Royal, including one in Ship Street, and the only response invited from us so far is whether we know of any other potential sites in our area, and we don’t. This is all we are able to discuss because there is not enough information available yet.”
After the meeting Frodsham Mayor Pammi Taylor has promised residents that, if there is a firm proposal to create a travellers site in Ship Street, the town council will launch a full public consultation.
She said: “But when we have sufficient information we will consult Frodsham people.”
Cllr Taylor was also critical of the borough council’s web-based questionnaire which she dismissed as “not worth the screen space.”

Metro will operate free shuttle buses between the Court House and Foggy Bottom-GWU Metrorail stations and between the Pentagon and Foggy Bottom-GWU Metrorail stations. Customers should build at least 40 extra minutes into their travel plans if they need to pass through the work zone.The closure is for track repair and improvements. In addition, an emergency response exercise will occur at the Rosslyn metro station on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 9am to noon. The exercise will involve responding to a simulated explosion on a metrorail train under the Potomac between Foggy Bottom station and the Rosslyn station.

HARRISON, N.Y. The Harrison Town Board changed local parking regulations last week, banning commercial vehicles from parking on residential roads overnight. Just before passing the motion, Council member Steve Malfitano suggested the fine be raised from its original $50 to $100.
An aging Harrison debate reached a head at the Jan. 5 town board meeting when Mayor Ron Belmont and his new administration moved to ban commercial vehicles from parking overnight on residential streets. The debate became controversial when some residents voiced opposition to allowing Harrison Police to use their discretion when determining if a vehicle is commercial or residential.
Council memver Steve Malfitano stopped the discussion moments before the board went to a vote to suggest the fine be raised from $50 to $100, saying the penalty should be greater.
"If you want to discourage this, the penalty should be more," Malfitano said at the Jan. 5 town board meeting.
The board was unified in raising the fine to $100 before voting to pass the parking changes.

SUMMER EXPEDITION 2014: RIGA – HELSINKI
Sound Development City is a studio on the road, a research trip for artists and their projects. Riga and Helsinki serve as resonating urban spaces, as work material, sources of inspiration, and playground for public presentations. Altogether, the expedition with Sound Development City is 17 days long. Six days will be spent in each city, and the rest of the time will be dedicated to being on the road. Each edition of Sound Development City follows a specific thematic focus. Participants are selected through an open call.
CALL FOR PROJECTS
Sound Development City is looking for project proposals and work theses that comply with the invitation to Mind the Gap! (see below) and that could utilize the three-week expedition from Riga to Helsinki for realizing these endeavors. We are looking for interventions, sound surveys, performances, experiments, moving images, and artistic research projects that will benefit from being on the road, and will probe urban environments as sites of both playfulness as well as social involvement.
Artists working in all disciplines can apply through the open call process. The key requirements are curiosity, openness to experimentation, process-oriented work, and adventurousness. We also welcome an inter-disciplinary approach and readiness to collaborate.
MIND THE GAP!
Mind the Gap! is our call to you, and the thematic focus of Sound Development City’s expedition in 2014.
The gap, it seems, is everywhere: between here and there, me and you, yesterday and today, between Riga and Helsinki. It can cleave and unite; one either trips over or is inclined to leap. In fact these gaps carve out a proverbial space that can be used creatively and become a new artistic reality. On that note, Mind the Gap! should be understood as an invitation to look inward and sharpen the senses to subtle in-between states, recognize ruptures, transitions and no-man’s-land.
Application deadline is April 25, 2014.
An international j ury of five will select about 10 participants from the submitted applications.
The jury’s decision will be made public no later than May 30, 2014.
Detailed information about the call for projects and the conditions for registration can be found here.
Sound Development City is a project by Sound Development. It was developed in collaboration with Heller Enterprises. The project is financed by Sound Development and organized by Heller Enterprises. All information: www.sound-development-city.com/en


Mayor says highway will be open from midnight to 1 a.m. and again from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Parksville Qualicum Beach residents planning to guide guests or make their own trip to Tofino or the west coast in the coming year may want to take extra care to plan ahead. The only road that connects the west woast to East Vancouver Island looks like it will be shut down in both directions every night for three months next summer.
Canada’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Communities and B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are splitting the cost of a roughly $27 million project that will upgrade a 1.5 kilometre stretch of Hwy. 4 roughly 14 kilometres east of the west coast junction.
The project is expected to get underway in April and take about two years to complete.
During each nightly closure, the highway would open for two one-hour periods: from midnight to 1 a.m. and again from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m., according to Ucluelet Mayor Dianne St. Jacques.

Stainless steel has been used in the Architecture, Building & Construction industries since it was introduced, and it’s uses are as varied and diverse as the designs it helps form. These industries represent a growing market sector for stainless steel as architects, engineers and designers increasingly turn to stainless for its strength, durability, low life- cycle costs, sustainable qualities, and tremendous design flexibility, not to mention its inherent aesthetic beauty. Stainless steels are used for structural applications in infrastructure and architecture projects alike, and they are used for art installations, street furniture, and for corporate branding strategies.

Roundhouse Primary School is located on School Drive in St Neots. We were commissioned by Cambridgeshire County Council and subsequently novated to the Design & Build Contractor to design a 1FE extension to the existing school.
The project consisted of a single storey extension to provide 8 class bases and associated welfare facilities effectively doubling the size of the existing school. The project was required to achieve a “Very Good” BREEAM rating and incorporate cost effective renewable energies with improved building efficiency and reduced running costs. The project was one of the first delivered for Cambridgeshire County Council on a two stage design and build basis utilising NEC ECC Option A contract and was delivered on time and within budget.


The City of Oxford announced Tuesday, March 13, that construction on a roundabout at South Lamar and Belk Blvd for Baptist Hospital was set to begin, “on or about March 19.”

The road by my house was in bad condition after a rough winter. Every day I dodged potholes on the way to work. So I was relieved to see a construction crew working on the road one morning. Later, on my way home, I noticed no improvement. But where the construction crew had been working stood a new, bright-yellow sign with the words "Rough Road."


Madagascar opened an international airport entirely financed by French companies:
Méridiam, Bouygues Bâtiments International, Colas and ADP ('Aéroports de Paris') have invested jointly 220 million euros in the facilities.
The concession of the airport will last for twenty-eight years.
The objective is to become an airport of reference in the region, according to an official.
"We are now at the end of the runway, ready for take-off, with the objective of becoming a reference airport in the Indian Ocean. We hope that this new terminal will not only serve the economic and tourist development of Madagascar, but also become a place of life and a showcase for the flora and culture of Madagascar", stated Julien Coffinier, CEO of Ravinala Airports.
The new facilities were built to the latest international environmental standards and will be able to accommodate up to 1.5 million passengers a year.

In the realm of construction and infrastructure development, few things are as vital as the production of high-quality asphalt. The process of creating this essential material is both an art and a science, requiring meticulous planning, technological innovation, and a deep understanding of engineering principles. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into every aspect of designing the perfect Asphalt Batch Mix Plant, from conceptualization to execution.
The journey towards designing the perfect Asphalt Batch Mix Plant begins with a clear vision. Picture a plant that not only produces asphalt efficiently but also meets stringent environmental standards and remains cost-effective. This vision drives every decision and innovation in the design process.
At its core, an Asphalt Batch Mix Plant is a complex system that combines aggregates and bitumen to create hot mix asphalt. This mixture is crucial for constructing smooth and durable roads that withstand varying weather conditions and heavy traffic.
Aggregates, such as sand, gravel, and stone, provide the structural foundation of asphalt, while bitumen acts as the binding agent that holds the mixture together. The precise combination of aggregates and bitumen determines the quality and performance of the asphalt produced.
Hot mix asphalt, produced by heating the aggregate-bitumen mixture to high temperatures, is the preferred choice for road construction due to its flexibility, durability, and ability to withstand heavy loads. It is used in various applications, including highways, airports, and residential roads.
In conclusion, designing the perfect Asphalt Batch Mix Plant is a multifaceted endeavor that requires a combination of vision, expertise, innovation, and meticulous planning. By understanding the key components of plant design, including space and location considerations, production capacity planning, equipment selection, environmental sustainability, and budgeting, we can create plants that not only produce high-quality asphalt efficiently but also meet environmental standards and remain cost-effective.


18 highways to connect north, south
RİZE - Anatolia News Agency
A crossing from the 542 kilometer Black Sea highway is seen in his file photo.Studies for 18 new highways to connect Turkey’s Black Sea coast with the Mediterranean coast have been completed, Turkey’s Transportation Minister Binali Yıldırım has announced. The highways, totaling 11,797 kilometers, will facilitate transportation between the provinces and will also stimulate trade and tourism between the regions.
Yıldırım said 10,679 kilometers of the highways would be double lane and 1,118 would be single lane in an interview with Anatolia news agency. Construction has been completed on 7,951 kilometers of the double lane highways and still continues for 1,612 kilometers of the double lane highways, according to Yıldırım. Construction of 560 kilometers of the single lane highways has already been completed, 225 kilometers are still under construction and 303 kilometers are waiting to be tendered.


Chitungwiza council is mooting demolishing all illegal structures mushrooming in and around the town four years after the controversial clean-up pilot project code-named Operation Murambatsvina displaced thousands of urbanites and razed dwellings countrywide.
The move comes hard on the heels of similar manouvres by Harare City Council which says residents should abide by the local authority’s bylaws.
Chitungwiza Mayor Philemon Chipiyo told NewsDay that all illegal structures will be demolished and gave the culprits up to seven days to remove their structures.
He said letters had already been dispatched to offenders.
One of the letters seen by this newspaper reads in part: “It is noted you have constructed an illegal dwelling structure at your premises in violation of the conditions of your lease or certificate of your tenancy.
“Accordingly, you are hereby given seven days to demolish the structure. Failure to comply with the above order council will demolish the structure and charge you with the cost of demolition.”
Chipiyo said residents should simply comply with the order or face the consequences.
“Yes, it was discussed that people should demolish all structures which were built without the council’s consent. Government said people should remove those structures.
“Who told them to build again? So if government said there should be no illegal structures then that is it.
“We are simply complying with the government’s directive,” Chipiyo said.
Observers have since warned that councils mulling such action must be sensitive to the plight of residents especially those living in power-keg areas.
In 2005, the government under President Robert Mugabe’s previous administration embarked on a massive clean-up exercise which according to the United Nation’s envoy on Human Habitat Anna Tibaijuka, displaced over 700 000 people.
The exercise was carried out immediately after the announcement of that year’s parliamentary results where Zanu PF lost significant ground to the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) led by Morgan Tsvangirai.
The timing of the clean-up set tounges wagging.
The MDC and the international community were convinced that it was not a decongesting exercise but rather, retribution against urbanites who overwhelmingly voted for the then opposition.
Tibaijuka courted the ire of Mugabe after she produced a damning report which said Operation Murambatsvina was inhuman

Paving work scheduled for Harrodsburg Road in Fayette County
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ/Press Release) – Drivers should be aware of ongoing paving operations on Harrodsburg Road/US 68 in Lexington.
The road work going from Tuesday, Oct. 19 to Friday, Oct. 22 is needed to repair damaged asphalt base sections.
Paving will be in effect between Arrowhead Drive at milepoint 2.688 and Burbank Drive at milepoint 3.543 from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. each day.
Alternating lane closures will let drivers pass through the work zone.


From 8am on Monday 17 January to 6pm on Friday 21 January we need to close Shadowbrook Lane, in both directions, where it meets Catherine De Barnes Lane. Catherine De Barnes Lane will not be impacted by the road closure.
This full carriageway closure is needed so our team can safely divert BT communications cables in the road itself.
These BT diversions are needed to allow us to complete the new dual carriageway (A4545) between the new M42 junction 5a and the A45 at Clock Interchange.
When the road is closed, we’ll clearly signpost the diversion route which will take traffic via Catherine De Barnes Lane, Friday Lane, Barston Lane, Eastcote Lane and the B4102.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any questions about this road closure, you can email us at: or call us on: 0300 123 5000.

Broken escalators rob Delhi Metro's Heritage Line of its sheen
NEW DELHI: While many commuters are thrilled with swanky Heritage Line Metro, which offer glimpses of the city's cultural heritage, some commuters, particularly senior citizens, are disappointed as two escalators at Kashmere Gate Metro station have not been working for months.
Jai Kishan Goel, a senior citizen who went to Kashmere Gate, pointed out that an escalator has not been working for many months and he does not expect it to become functional in next few days either.
He added that six elevators are installed to directly join the Heritage Line to Kashmere Gate Metro Station areas, but two of them have under repair for a very long time.
Meanwhile, an official of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said that four escalators already operational at Kashmere Gate area already adequate to meet the present requirement.
He added that the two non-functional escalators are only additional.
Another commuter, who wished to be anonymous, said "Metro has revised the fare and has doubled from the previous fare. It is really distressing to find out that newly-opened Metro lines have two escalators that have been out of order for long. Moreover, I have also found water dripping from the air conditioning duct at a platfrom in Kashmere Gate."
He added, "Every metro station at Heritage Line has been decorated with glimpses of the city's cultural heritage, and having such kind of negligence is absolutely disappointing for any commuter."
Meanwhile, another Metro station, Seelampur, also has disappointed commuters, as many AFC entry gates at the station are functioning without a proper display screen.
"It has been a few weeks that these AFC machines have not been displaying proper messages. Some of them are totally blank," said a regular traveller.
He added that many a time the issue was reported to station controllers, but no action has been taken yet.

Drivers should plan their journeys in Nottingham in advance of Saturday 28th September, when overnight work takes place to install bridges on two key routes.
Roads affected by delays
A52 will be closed between the Dunkirk Roundabout and Queens Medical Centre from 8pm Saturday 28th September to 6am Sunday 29th September.
A453 closed between M1 and Clifton from 8pm Saturday 28th September to 6am Sunday 29th September. (This will be part of an ongoing programme of works that will be repeated every Saturday night until the New Year.)
The bridges will be reopened in time for the Robin Hood Marathon on Sunday.
Transport bosses are warning people in Nottingham that road closures will be in place this weekend, with parts of the A52 and A453 being closed overnight on Saturday whilst work to build new bridges gets underway.
Routes are expected to reopen in time for the Robin Hood marathon on Sunday.
A new tram bridge weighing more than 1000 tons will be wheeled into place over the ring road by the QMC, meaning every weekend until Christmas the A453 will be closed overnight whilst bridge structures are built.

SPEARFISH, SD – A portion of the Spearfish rec path from Brady Park to Lions Park has newly installed solar-powered lighting, thanks to a partnership between the City and Spearfish Lions Club.

“Our mission is vision, and this (project) ties in directly with vision, and I think that’s why the club was in such support of it,” Lions Club Past President Kade Welfl said, describing that the idea is to continue the lighting of the rec path through the north end of town, towards Jorgensen and Evans parks.
The Lions Club is a charitable community organization, and Lions Club member Todd Jensen explained a memorial donation from his parents, Larry and Sharon Jensen, following his father’s passing, spurred the club to look for an impactful project in the community to support. When the idea to light the rec path was proposed, the membership was excited, given the project’s connection to the club’s mission of sight, health, and overall community betterment.
“It’s a huge safety item,” Jensen said of lighting the rec path, which is used by multiple users, including children on their way to and from school.
“It gets dark right away in the winter months when the kids are in school, and they leave their sporting event, their practice, or whatever, and it’s dark. … This lighting should help (provide a safer environment for pedestrians using the rec path when it gets dark early).”
Spearfish Parks and Recreation Director Tyler Ehnes agreed that the lights will extend the usage of the rec path in the wintertime, as the routes are popular for users of various modes of transportation all year long. He described that the solar panels and light pole were designed and engineered to provide light 365 days per year. A light study was conducted to determine the height of the poles, size of the solar panels and batteries, and locations along the rec path to ensure the lights would be powered every day.
“There’s no electricity, there are no wires in the ground, there’s no conduit … no electricity bills,” Parks and Recreation Director Ehnes said, describing each light pole’s system generates power from the sun.
The approximately $100,000 project was jointly funded 50-50 by the Lions Club and the City.
“I think they turned out great,” Welfl said of the newly installed solar-powered lights.
“I think we accomplished our goal. If you come down here at night, you’re going to see the path is really well lit, and it makes it a lot more comfortable.”
Users are reminded the Spearfish City Parks close at 10 p.m.

Call to action!! We need you at the June 7 Planning and Zoning Commission hearing where the Future Land Use Map Amendment that requests to change the old golf course from Parks and Recreation to Single Family Residential is on the agenda. The meeting is at 9:00 am in City Council Chambers. They will likely make a recommendation to the City Council at this meeting and we want them to know how strong the opposition is to this change.
We urge you to arrive by 8:30 and bring your yard signs, signs from our rally this summer, or make your own. Signs are for outside only, so when you go in leave your signs in your car. We will try to have some extra signs available. For signs please contact Alan Jones at 860-670-4862. Wear your green Save Our Recreation t-shirts. If you don't have one wear any green shirt. For T Shirts contact Mary Neilson at 239-243-5989. The public can speak at the meeting. SOR representatives (including our attorney and land use expert) will be speaking and you can as well. Please, be respectful, factual and constructive with any signs you bring or comments you may make. We always want to be a positive and constructive voice in the process. Also, please tell your family, friends and neighbors about this and encourage them to attend. Try to bring two people with you. Let’s have a great show of support!
We particularly encourage supporters from others parts of the Cape to attend and let the Commission know this is more than just a neighborhood issue. This is a chance to save a special property than can be enjoyed by the community for generations if the current land use is preserved. If you plan to speak, please let either Mary (email@example.com or 239-243-5989) or Barth (firstname.lastname@example.org or 920-621-6097) know as we are trying to coordinate as best we can so we cover different points and we want to be sure we have at least several speakers from outside the immediate neighborhood.
The notice letter the City sent out to neighbors can be found on our website. This is the first step in the process. The most critical will be the City Council meeting where they vote on whether to transmit the proposed land use map amendment to the state. The current plan is for this hearing to be held at the August 7 City Council meeting. Please mark your calendar for that date!! We need a huge turnout then. We will update you as we get closer to that hearing or if this timing changes.
Lastly, City Planning Department staff has recommended approval of the land use map change. This is very disappointing. We plan to refute some of their points at the June 7 hearing.
Save Our Recreation is a non-profit organization established to preserve the historic old Cape Coral Golf Club property as a park or recreational property for use by the public for generations to come.

IBAA is an extremely cost-effective material when compared to Primary Aggregates and BPUK is working towards a verified Carbon Footprint. There are also advantages logistically when using IBAA due to the low density of the material allowing for fewer vehicle movements as this gives volumetric advantages over primary materials.

High Speed 2 (HS2) is a planned high-speed railway proposed to London Euston from the English Midlands. The project is being developed by High Speed Two Ltd, a company limited by guarantee established by the UK government. The line is to be built in two phases with the section between London and Birmingham being the first phase. The route would take the form of a 'Y', with a trunk between London Euston and Birmingham Curzon Street. The route would then split into two spurs, one continuing to Manchester Piccadilly via Crewe and Manchester Airport and the other to Leeds via East Midlands and Sheffield. I twill consist of 400m-long (1,300ft) trains, with up to 1,100 seats per train. They would operate at speeds of up to 400 km/hr - faster than any current operating speed in Europe and would travel up to 14 times per hour in each direction.


Plano City Council will be voting on an ordinance that will allow Plano residents to have backyard chickens according to a KRLD News Radio article from September 18,
“A local group, known as “Plano Hens”, has been advocating for the change in the ordinance, and has worked with the city to come up with both a plan and the rules.
They say that many residents want to build their own chicken coop, and raise their own chickens so that they can have fresh eggs.”
Additional information regarding the proposed ordinance was provided in a Dallas Morning News article from September 15 which reports,
“Only hens would be allowed. Roosters would be prohibited.
The ordinance isn’t finalized, but the proposed changes would require residents who want to keep backyard hens to:
- Follow minimum square footage for coops
- Meet building code requirements for coops
- Meet distance requirements from neighboring buildings”
In a Facebook post, people expressed their excitement about the possibility of the ordinance being passed. One woman commented,
“I can’t wait! I’ve been wanting chickens for years and I’m getting my yard ready for them. We need positive thinking that council will pass it.”
Another expressed her praise and gratitude for the group’s effort
“Thank you for all the hard works! Can’t wait!”
So far, Plano together with Coppell prohibits the raising of chickens. In Dallas and other cities, however, there is no prohibition or limit to the number of chickens that can be raised. The Plano City Council has voted unanimously to introduce the discussion of the ordinance changes until September 27.

RICHMOND, VA – Delegate Joe May (R-Loudon), Chair of the House Transportation Committee, released the following statement Tuesday in support of Governor Bob McDonnell’s transportation proposal:
“I am very pleased and excited that we are finally getting serious about tackling Virginia’s transportation challenges. Governor McDonnell has laid out an innovative and bold proposal that addresses Virginia’s long-term transportation needs.
“There is a great deal of work to be done to finalize this proposal. I am confident that working with the Governor, the House of Delegates can pass a bill on transportation this year.
“I cannot stress enough, however, the importance of addressing transportation. Transportation is about jobs. A fundamentally strong transportation infrastructure is critical to continued growth and economic development.
“I want to commend Governor McDonnell, Speaker Howell, Delegate Hugo and Senator Newman for developing an innovative and serious proposal, and I look forward to working with all of them to develop a final package that will pass the House of Delegates.”
Delegate May is the Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and represents parts of Clarke, Frederick and Loudon Counties.

URGENT CALL FOR FUNDS
POW and the Joint Parish Councils succeeded in our requests for the Secretary of State to call-in the planning application for 1800 houses at Dunsfold Aerodrome (Dunsfold New Town). This means that he will decide whether planning permission is granted after a full Public Inquiry. We now urgently need funds for the forthcoming Public Inquiry, which is scheduled to start on 18th July
As Rule 6 parties, POW and the Joint Parish Councils will be taking a leading role in the Public Inquiry to persuade a Planning Inspector and the Secretary of State that Dunsfold Park is the wrong place for the proposed development and this application should be refused. The Secretary of State’s decision will be final.
We will be the only Rule 6 parties arguing for the application to be refused, for which we have been advised we have a strong case and every chance of being successful.
In order to put up a robust case, we will need professional help to represent us:
- A traffic consultant;
- A planning consultant, and
- A QC
None of these come without significant cost. There is much work to be done and appointments must be made now; we need funds to enable this. We will be running fund-raising events in the next few weeks and we hope you’ll support us generously.
In addition, any donation you can make now would be very gratefully received:
- via Pay Pal
- by cheque, payable to Alfold Parish Council (Lock House Lodge, Knightons Lane, Dunsfold GU8 4NU)
- or by BACs transfer to Alfold Parish Council’s Bank: sort 30-
94- 41 account 01726933
- For donations over £500, please email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.org

Thane: The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has finally taken up the much-awaited repair work of a 10-km-long stretch of the Old Agra Road from Balkum to Bhiwandi after repeated follow-ups by Thane-based social activist Sneha Singh. The stretch along the road that was once a national highway has been neglected by various state agencies including the public works department, the MSRDC and the MMRDA.
Iqbal Shaikh, secretary general of NCP's Mumbai minority department, said, “This is a decade-old issue. However, the work was taken up after five months of constant follow-ups by social activist Sneha Singh. Many vehicles have turned turtle or bikers have lost their balance due to the uneven road. Citizens are happy seeing the repair work has finally begun.” According to Mr Shaikh, Bhiwandi is an important logistical hub which has been paralysed by the poor network of roads that connect with Thane City.
“Local residents and forums have in past protested against the authorities. Now Kalher, Purna and Rahnal areas are finally seeing road repairs which have been pending for years,” he said, adding that he visited Bhiwandi recently and was astonished to see the ongoing road repair work, thanks to Ms Singh's efforts.
Meanwhile, local social activist Roza Shaikh said no MPs or MLAs in the area have bothered about repair of the Old Arga Road. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member from Bhiwandi, Mujeeb Hareen said, “Despite having so many companies and warehouses in the area, the authorities have neglected Bhiwandi for the past two decades. I am pleasantly surprised to see real development in Bhiwandi, that too because of a Thane-based social activist. Hats off to her!”
Local freelance journalist Navin Abdullah said, “I had in past tried to convince the Vyapari Mitra Mandal of Bhiwandi to raise their voice against the MMRDA but they refused saying it's useless to ask for better roads. Thanks to Ms Singh for fighting for the rights of people in Bhiwandi.”
According to Thane resident Ranjit Gupta, the roads are bumpy and full of dust. “When you enter Bhiwandi it looks like a village. But it has become better since the concretisation of main roads. Hope the MMRDA completes this work quickly as it is causing traffic jams.”
According to Ms Singh, she was well aware of the road conditions in Bhiwandi which were deteriorating by the day. “I took this as a challenge and tried my best to get the road repaired. Mr Shaikh of NCP was the first to tell me that my efforts paid off. I thank my team and local residents for collaborating in the fight. However, this is not the end. The same stretch has inadequate streetlights which MMRDA needs to address.”
A regular commuter on Old Agra Road, Hrishikesh Khose said, “We appreciate the work being taken up. However, the MMRDA is infamous for delaying projects. The speed of work is not good. Wonder when they will complete this 10 km stretch. Perhaps in 2030!”
Meanwhile, Mumbra resident Karan Purohit questioned, “What about Balkum Naka and the Kasheli Bridge area? The authorities are playing a blame game here. MMRDA says the road at Balkum Naka is of the state PWD and the state PWD says it's MMRDA's responsibility. We just hope the road gets fully repaired by at least next monsoon.”
Majiwada resident Vivian Sharma wondered when the NHAI and MSRDC will start road repair and widening work on the Bhiwandi Bypass Road which runs parallel to the Old Agra Road but bypasses Bhiwandi city towards Nashik.
