  • Dear School Over Recent Weeks the Bus Operator Selwyn's Have Reported Numerous Incidents of Window Damage to Their Vehicles Du
    Dear School Over recent weeks the bus operator Selwyn’s have reported numerous incidents of window damage to their vehicles due to low-hanging tree branches. The matter has been raised with Wirral Highways and the locations identified in order for them to begin the tree cutting process. Due to the health & safety implications, Selwyn’s wish to divert services away from these locations until the remedial works have taken place to avoid the risks associated with the low-hanging trees. Therefore all Merseytravel supported services that operate with double deck vehicles along the locations identified will be diverted from Monday 7th October 2019. In order to minimise disruption, services have been revised to allow students to board their service as near to their current boarding stop. This may mean that some journeys are delayed during this period as journey time maybe longer to and from school. Below is a list of those services affected and the diversion route they will take until further notice. Merseytravel would request you share the details of this with parents so that they can make an informed decision about the travel opportunities for their children and prepare for the changes starting on Monday Merseytravel, Selwyn’s and Wirral Highways are working to ensure that the disruption to services is minimal and resolved as soon as possible. Once the works have been undertaken by the council we will communicate to you a specific date when diversions will be removed. I would ask that the school signposts all correspondence from parents to [email protected] , it is policy under GDPR not to have the correspondence of individual officers shared with the general public, I would appreciate the school upholding this.

  • Maritime Archaeological Impact Assessment of Proposed Aquaculture Areas 1, 6 and 7, Algoa Bay, Eastern Cape Province
    MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED AQUACULTURE AREAS 1, 6 AND 7, ALGOA BAY, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act (No. 25 of 1999) as part of a Basic Assessment Prepared for Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd On behalf of Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries February 2019 Prepared by John Gribble ACO Associates cc Physical: Unit D17, Prime Park, 21 Mocke Rd, Diep River Postal: 8 Jacobs Ladder St James, 7945 [email protected] Tel: 021 7064104 Cell: 078 616 2961 Fax to e-mail: 086 603 7195 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ACO Associates cc has been requested by Anchor Research & Monitoring (Pty) Ltd on behalf of Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries to undertake a desktop maritime archaeological impact assessment of three areas within Algoa Bay under consideration as aquaculture areas, namely Algoa 1, 6 and 7. This maritime heritage assessment report, supported by recommendations for implementable mitigation measures will form part of a Basic Assessment for the proposed development of aquaculture in Algoa Bay. Findings: In respect of submerged prehistoric archaeological potential, this assessment indicates that although there have, to date, been no specific studies of the submerged prehistory of Algoa Bay, the archaeological evidence for a hominin presence in the Algoa Bay region in the Earlier, Middle and Later Stone Age is plentiful. At various times in the last 900,000 global glacial cycles have caused substantial drops in sea level and the current seabed of Algoa Bay would have been exposed as a terrestrial landscape. Ancient river courses, whose channels are today buried under modern seabed sediment, would have been an important focus for hominin activity on the exposed continental shelf in the past and there is the potential for the occurrence of ancient, submerged archaeological material in association with palaeo- river channels.
