The Strategy identifies locally important open spaces, sets the standards for different types of open space and establishes the need for further types of open space. Shortfalls in accessibility, quantity and quality have been established through the application of the standards which can be found in Section 2 of the Open Space Strategy2. 1.2 The Action Plans consider the three standards (Quantity, Quality and Accessibility) at Ward level and identify a series of priority sites where, with the inclusion of additional types of open space within existing provision, need might be fulfilled.

  • A4060, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales
    ® Project Info MAR 21 21 / 03 / 17 CC8TM Bulk Rolls # 2,875m² Transverse layers A4060, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales ALD Plant Hire CC8TM was used to remediate a dilapidated i channel which runs alongside a stretch of the A4060 in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil CLICK TO WATCH VIDEO Completed section of remediated channel alongside the A4060 in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil In March 2017, Concrete Canvas® GCCM* (CC) was used to remediate a channel which runs alongside the A4060 in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. The A4060 links the A470 Pentrebach roundabout and Dowlais areas of Merthyr Tydfil. The Pentrebach end of the route consists of a 3-lane single carriageway, while the newer stretch which leads towards Dowlais consists of a dual carriageway. Running adjacent to the A4060 lies a large drainage channel, approximately 410m in length with a variable profile of between 5.5 – 10 linear metres, which takes surface run-off from the hillside, protecting the A4060 from flooding and undermining. The original earth channel has been remediated using several different methods over the years, including a concrete poured invert, cement filled sandbags to stabilise the batters, concrete slab-work and lean mix grout pours. The dilapidated channel was in disrepair, with significant vegetation growth, collapse and signs of scouring. This would eventually have led to undermining of the embankment on the near side of the A4060. The works were carried out by ALD Plant Hire, CEMEX’s Civils Engineering partner, for SWTRA (South Wales Trunk Route Agent), with design specifications provided by AECOM. *Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat www ® +44 (0) 345 680 1908 [email protected] www.concretecanvas.com The information contained herein is offered free of charge and is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate.

  • Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA
    Baby Graves: Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA (Hons) Murd. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of Murdoch University (School of Social Sciences and Humanities), Perth, Western Australia, June, 2006 i I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Your name) ii Abstract The thesis examines the problem of infant mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865- 1908. In particular it investigates why Merthyr Tydfil, an iron, steel and coal producing town in south Wales, experienced high infant mortality rates throughout the nineteenth century which rose by the end of the century despite sixty years of public health reforms. The historiography of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Britain includes few Welsh studies although the south Wales Coalfield played an important part in industrial and demographic change in Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century. The thesis argues that conditions of industrial development shaped the social, economic and public health experience in Merthyr, ensnaring its citizens in social disadvantage, reflected in the largely unacknowledged human toll among mothers and babies in that process. The thesis analyses the causes of over 17, 000 infant deaths in Merthyr Tydfil from the primary evidence of an unusually complete series of Medical Officer of Health Reports to identify the principal attributed causes of infant death and explain their social origins and context. The thesis examines the work of Dr.
