    Oxfordshire Plan – Regulation 18 (Part 2) Consultation Document VERSION 30 (Full Text) with paragraph numbers At 23 July 2021 1 Foreword 1. Oxfordshire is a unique and special place shaped by its beautiful and varied landscapes, rich cultural heritage and areas important to nature conservation. Its towns, villages and the City of Oxford form part of a dynamic network of places that have grown to support an innovation-driven economy that is nationally and internationally significant, with Oxfordshire forming part of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. These characteristics, together with Oxfordshire's connections to other places, mean that, for many, Oxfordshire is a prosperous and healthy place to live. But there are also persistent, multi-faceted inequalities in some of our places, and challenges linked to climate change, congestion, housing affordability and threats to the natural, built and historic environments. 2. The Oxfordshire Plan will change the way we plan for Oxfordshire's future. To fully make the most of our opportunities and to more effectively tackle the challenges that Oxfordshire faces requires a new partnership-based approach to planning: one that continues to value the vital role played by local and neighbourhood plans, but which also recognises that some issues require transformative change through concerted effort over the medium and longer- term, are better considered on a wider geographical scale and best tackled through joined-up policy responses that build resilience. 3. Climate change is one example. Decisions made locally have the potential to impact on outcomes in that area, but also more widely within Oxfordshire as well as beyond the county's boundaries.

Abstract An advanced-technology Integrated Safety and Security Enforcement System (ISSES), now deployed at three commercial vehicle inspection sites along interstate highways in Kentucky, was evaluated from the point of view of system performance, potential effects on inspection selection efficiency (choosing the highest-risk trucks from the stream of commerce), user acceptance, and costs. Overall, despite the fact that commercial vehicle law enforcement staffing levels in Kentucky did not allow for full-time, dedicated use of the ISSES by inspectors at the time of the evaluation, the subsystems that were under evaluation in this task were found to be performing effectively in a stand-alone mode.

If the trucking group you originally invited doesn't exist anymore, you should find another representative organization. You might also want to get someone from the Buffalo Niagara Convention and Visitors Bureau or Advancing Arts & Culture to attend the meetings. These two organizations are investing a lot in marketing the None Delaware Park cultural institutions to out of town visitors and we want to make sure that visitors 1 1 x 6/7/2007 (Member of the E-mail from Niagara Falls find it easy to get to and from the cultural venues. I don't want the Community) stakeholder group to only represent supporters of the downgrading of the Scajaquada or you will defeat the whole purpose of having the stakeholder meetings in the first place. I know that our visitors are going to be unhappy with this change if it leads to greater wait times to get to our parking lot.

  • Options for Reducing the Deficit: 2019 to 2028
    CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Options for Reducing the Deficit: 2019 to 2028 Left to right: © Syda Productions/Anatoliy Lukich/Garry L./Andriy Blokhin/Juanan Barros Moreno/lenetstan/Shutterstock.com DECEMBER 2018 Notes The estimates for the various options shown in this report were completed in November 2018. They may differ from any previous or subsequent cost estimates for legislative proposals that resemble the options presented here. Unless this report indicates otherwise, all years referred to regarding budgetary outlays and revenues are federal fiscal years, which run from October 1 to September 30 and are designated by the calendar year in which they end. The numbers in the text and tables are in nominal (current-year) dollars. Those numbers may not add up to totals because of rounding. In the tables, for changes in outlays, revenues, and the deficit, negative numbers indicate decreases, and positive numbers indicate increases. Thus, negative numbers for spending and positive numbers for revenues reduce the deficit, and positive numbers for spending and negative numbers for revenues increase it. Some of the tables in this report give values for two related concepts: budget authority and outlays. Budget authority is the authority provided by federal law to incur financial obligations that will result in immediate or future outlays of federal government funds. The budget projections used in this report come from various sources. The 10-year spending projections, in relation to which the budgetary effects of spending options are generally calculated, are those in Congressional Budget Office,An Analysis of the President’s 2019 Budget (May 2018, revised August 2018), www.cbo.gov/publication/53884.

  • May 2021 Magazine
    North Shore Vintage Car Club Your journal Your stories Your photos Your cars Progress: Your ideas Your committee The monthly journal of the North Shore Vintage Car Club May 2021 1 Editorial Progress May 2021 Hi all, firstly thanks to everyone that has responded to the Club Survey. We will give a full update on the results at the AGM (16th June). Our response rate overall was in line with the average that we might expect from a survey of this type (around 15-20% response rate). As mentioned above our AGM is set for June 16th and its very important that you try and get along to hear how your club is progressing and give some input to the discussions. The spectre of committee nominations is also around. It is important for any organisation to have fresh ideas and perspectives so, if you are able, please consider whether you might be able to lend a hand. I wonder if anyone saw the table published in the ‘Mailbag’ of the latest Beaded Wheels magazine? This table illustrated the huge differences between Roadworthiness testing regimes around the world. New Zealand seems to have the toughest. Why? Have a look at my comments later in this edition. Finally I’ll leave you with a question raised by one of our survey respondents: Where are the 130 or so members that we NEVER see or hear from? What are their views? Stuart Battersby email: [email protected] or phone: 022 471 2759 In this edition: Chairman’s report : Tony Sparkes. Club Captain’s Report: Paul Collins.
