  • History of SBPHA 2011
    SWANSEA BAY PORT HEALTH AUTHORITY AWDURDOD IECHYD PORTHLADD BAE ABERTAWE THE PORT HEALTH SERVICE IN SWANSEA BAY 1872 - 2011 Foreword A progressive history of service I have great pleasure in introducing this booklet, which catalogues the Annual Reports presented to this Authority, and its forerunners, about the work carried out in protecting the health of visiting seafarers and the local community. In his final annual report to the Authority in 1907, Ebenezer Davies, retiring Port Medical Officer, mentioned that he’d worked for the Joint Board for 21 years ‘as presently constituted’ thus marking 2011 as the 125 th year of service by the Authority across Swansea Bay. The roots of service by the Authority can, however, be traced back even further. The Sanitary Act 1866 subjected ships to the jurisdiction of the Swansea Local Board of Health as ‘Nuisance Authority’ in whose district they moored making them subject to inspection as if they were houses - ‘Port health’ had become a statutory function for the first time. It remained a function of that Board until the Public Health Act 1872 reconstituted the Board as an Urban Sanitary Authority and empowering it to constitute a Port Sanitary Authority. In 1873, Swansea Town Council adopted a resolution authorising a Swansea Port Sanitary Authority to control and maintain the health regulations at the port. The Public Health Act 1875 consolidated powers of the Authority and established regulations to deal with infectious disease, nuisances and defects on board vessels, together with the inspection of food & other cargo. Port Sanitary Authorities gained further statutory powers under subsequent Acts of Parliament such as the Infectious Disease (Notification) Act 1889 and the Public Health Act 1896.

    Wheelrights the Swansea Bay cycle campaign group Newsletter No. 10 Winter 2009/10 www.wheelrights.org.uk Swansea Council learns about cycle-friendly infrastructure Following his visit in April John Grimshaw returned to Swansea on 19th October to give a seminar to initiate Swansea Council in the art of making our roads more cycle friendly. The venue was the Penllergaer Council offices and the meeting was attended by around 40 officers mainly from Transport and Engineering. The meeting took place in the Council Chamber. This was an ideal venue for the presentation. Mr Grimshaw’s offer to take questions and comments as the talk progressed led to a strongly interactive session, enabling him to enlarge on various important details. After showing how little we cycle in the UK compar- ed with Northern Europe and discussing the role of cycling in tackling obesity he dealt in some detail with infrastructure. What stood out for me was the stress he placed on the need for continuity of cycle paths across minor junctions, drawing on examples across the UK and Europe. An outcome of the discussion on this was that our Council favour green for the colour of paths across junctions. True to form Mr Grimshaw elected to cycle from the railway station and I had the pleasure of accomp- anying him both ways. The photo shows him in Penllergaer Forest on our way back to the station.

  • Stena/DFDS Merger Appendices & Glossary
    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry Terms of reference 1. On 8 February 2011 the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that— a. a relevant merger situation has been created in that: i. enterprises carried on by or under the control of Stena A/B have ceased to be distinct from enterprises carried on by or under the control of DFDS A/B; and ii. as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of freight and/or passenger ferry services in the UK; and b. the creation of that situation has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of freight ferry services between the north west of England and Northern Ireland (the ‘diagonal routes’). 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 25 July 2011, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act— a. whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and b.

We ought to commence proceedings, colleagues, as we have a very busy couple of days ahead. I say briefly how glad I am to be back with you in what is, as I said last night, something of a yo- yo situation: it is good to be with so many friends. I welcome you to this great city, which is the second city of Wales, although the people who live in Swansea probably think that it is the first city of Wales. Whatever, it is certainly a great city. This is the first time the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly has met here. I hope that the hospitality and friendship that you receive over the next couple of days will be very much typical of the city. Members will notice that the agenda reflects what the business of the Assembly has traditionally been over the years: the situation in Northern Ireland.

Still as they say, mustn’t grumble! After all, we get to have another Swansea Motor Club Christmas party, with Santa’s Sack and lots of goodies to look forward to. Don’t forget to let Chris Gibbon know if you’re going to be there, and how many of you there will be. And, don’t leave it until the last minute; it’s not fair on her, trying to cater for you all. If you are coming, don’t forget to bring some goodies for the sack! The club has had another good year. The two hillclimb’s at Llys-y-Fran were both well run and attended. The July event, although curtailed by Mike Griffiths having an unfortunate accident in his pristine Escort, was a credit to the organisation team and all the members who helped out, on what was to be a long hard day.
