  • New Members Ken and Hazel Hall. Ken & Hazel Have Been
    Founders – Mike & Sue Bryant, Mike & Joan Chapman, Geoff & Margaret Hosking, Nigel & Jane Tarrant. Welcome Welcome to new members Ken and Hazel Hall. Ken & Hazel have been benefactors of SPSCC for some time, particularly in giving the membership the opportunity of attending some Jaguar events. As most of you know, the Halls are out and out Jaguar people and own some really mouth-watering examples of the marque. We look forward to seeing them at many of our events. Sunday 21st January Lunch at Lewinnick Lodge, Newquay. This is the first time that Joan & I had visited Lewinnick Lodge for lunch. The Lodge is situated in the most spectacular location possible, on a cliff side overlooking the roaring Atlantic. Roland and Wendy Calvert-Potter, who organised the lunch had wonderful support with thirty-one attendees. It was very gratifying that Dorianne joined us and we hope we will see her again at other events. I always enjoy a good Sunday roast and the one served at Lewinnick was exemplary. The Yorkshire puddings were truly outstanding, almost a meal in themselves. Delicious. A measure of the portions served was the fact that so few partook of a dessert, a rare SPSCC phenomenon indeed. This was our first event for the New Year and it was a delight to see so many of our fellow members joining in again. The afternoon route was planned by Mike & Sue Bryant and took us around the Headland at Newquay and because of the blustery nature of the weather, the waves were spectacularly high. Our Morgan was almost demolished going up Tower Road, when a female emerged from a side road without looking.

  • North Road Traffic (Pdf)
    North Road, Saltash HGV Rat Run Notes Current Situation: a) North Road Saltash is a residential classified B Road. b) It has been identified by Saltash Town Council as potentially having more traffic flow as a result of the planned Broadmoor development. c) Cornwall Council has very recently invested what must have been a considerable sum to improve the road for cyclists. d) It is an emergency road for tunnel closures. e) It is currently being used on an increasing scale as a “rat run” for H G V’ leaving the A38 at the Saltash off slip and seeking to avoid using the tunnel even when it is self-evident that the tunnel and bridge main carriage ways are running freely. f) The HGV’s are not doing anything illegal but what they are doing is grossly anti-social, causing noise and air pollution on a residential road, and are creating a dangerous environment in a built up area. Any Plan to deal with the problem will require: a) A precursor to any plan the Town Council need to recognise and accept that there is a problem and then resolve to do something about the problem. b) A plan set up to engage local business’ and other hauliers would be a logical 1st step. c) Goodwill and common sense from all concerned. d) One or two willing collaborators that can be used as an example to others – only responsible haulage operators are welcome in Saltash, hauliers that commit to making North Road an HGV no go road. Potential Solution: a) No solution can be contemplated unless and until as above Saltash Town Council recognises that there is a growing problem for the residents of North Road and then resolve to do something about it.

  • Structural Health Monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge
    Structural health monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge K.Y. Kooa, J.M.W. Brownjohna,∗, D.I. Listb, R. Coleb aSir Frederick Mappin Building, Mappin Street, University of Sheffield, S1 3JD, UK bTamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee, Plymouth, UK Abstract This paper presents experiences and lessons from the structural health moni- toring practice on the Tamar Bridge in Plymouth, UK, a 335m span suspension bridge opened in 1961. After 40 years of operations the bridge was strength- ened and widened in 2001 to meet a European Union requirement to carry heavy goods vehicles up to 40 tonnes weight, a process in which additional stay cables and cantilever decks were added and the composite deck was replaced with a lightweight orthotropic steel deck. At that time a structural monitoring system comprising wind, temperature, cable tension and deck level sensors was installed to monitor the bridge behaviour during and after the upgrading. In 2006 and 2009 respectively, a dynamic response monitoring system with real time modal parameter identification and a three-dimensional total positioning system were added to provide a more complete picture of the bridge behavior, and in 2006 a one day ambient vibration survey of the bridge was carried out to characterize low frequency vibration modes of the suspended structure. Practical aspects of the instrumentation and data processing & management are discussed and some key response observations are presented. The bridge is a surprisingly com- plex structure with a number of inter-linked load-response mechanisms evident, all of which have to be characterized as part of a long term structural health monitoring exercise.

The survey was conducted in home, face to face. Respondents are randomly selected within quotas on age, gender and working status to broadly represent the population of Area 1. ARUSS measures awareness of and satisfaction with Highway England’s services and other aspects of road users' experiences and perceptions in an area. The questionnaire comprises two main sections: core questions that are asked in all 13 areas; and questions specific to the area being surveyed. The ARUSS is interested in people's general experiences and perceptions of the network as opposed to a specific journey. 2 Summary: Headlines • Satisfaction with Highways England has remained similar (87%) to the last reporting period (89%) Overall but decreasing trend since Year 7 (2012-13) overall satisfaction • Females more likely to say they were satisfied than males (89% compared to 86% respectively) • Decreasing trend in proportion of respondents feeling safe from 66% in Year 7 to 51% in Year 10 to date • In the current reporting period, non-drivers were more likely to feel safe than drivers (66% Safety compared to 49%) • Increase in respondents feeling unsafe due to other

  • Cornwall Council’S Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission’S First Consultation for a Pattern of Divisions for Cornwall Council

Introduction This is Cornwall Council’s response to the Local Government Boundary Commission’s first consultation for a pattern of divisions for Cornwall Council. This follows the Commission having determined that from the May 2021 elections Cornwall Council will have 87 Councillors. The Commission has consulted on the future Council size of 87 but, when visiting the Council in October last year, the Lead Commissioner at the time was clear that the Commission may develop a scheme of either 86 divisions or 88 divisions, instead of 87, if considered appropriate to ensure the scheme was sound. He was also clear that the variance was limited to only 1 division. It appears therefore that the Commission is open to proposals for 86, 87 or 88 divisions. The Council’s principal objective has been to develop a scheme of 87 divisions but we also looked at the possibility of a scheme of 88 divisions. The Council is not submitting a scheme of 88 divisions but recognises that others may wish to submit a scheme of either 86 or 88 divisions. This consultation response proposes 87 single Member electoral divisions for Cornwall that balance the Commission’s criteria.
