Wedco-Annual-Report-2010.Pdf Ministry of Works and Engineering Office of the Minister of Works and Engineering th 27 August, 2010 The financial year 2009/10 has been a period of significant change and accomplishment for the West End Development Corporation [“WEDCo”]. As the Minister with assigned responsibility for WEDCo, I am extremely pleased to note that the partnership between Government and WEDCo remains as strong and as healthy as ever, one that is rapidly transforming the Royal Naval Dockyard into a dynamic destination and community of which all Bermuda can be proud. During the past year, I have had the honour of attending three major openings, each of which underscored the remarkable progress unfolding in Dockyard as we realize WEDCo’s vision of the west end of the Island as Bermuda’s premier destination for residents and visitors alike. In April 2009, I joined our Premier, Dr. the Hon. Ewart F. Brown, JP, MP in opening the second cruise ship terminal at Heritage Wharf. With two megaships now able to dock simultaneously, the increased business that additional passengers and crew bring provides a considerable economic boost for the Dockyard specifically and the Island generally. In June 2009, WEDCo Chairman, the Hon. Walter M. Lister, JP, MP, and I officially opened the second traffic lane across Cockburn Bridge and the widened historic Main Gates – much-needed improvements that will greatly improve efficient access to and from Dockyard. Then, in January 2010, I was privileged to preside over the official opening of the West End Waste Water Reclamation Treatment Plant at Sally Port. This state-of-the-art facility is essential in meeting the increased water demands of a thriving Dockyard and the west end. There can be no doubt that careful planning, unwavering commitment and hard work on the part of WEDCo and Government provided the underpinning for these three critically important projects. Indeed, the WEDCo team, headed by Chairman Lister and General Manager, Mr. Andrew Dias, is richly deserving of gratitude and praise for continuing to work diligently and enthusiastically as it advances the Dockyard dream. As the Royal Navy Dockyard celebrated its 200th anniversary this year, we were honoured by a visit from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The royal presence, perfect weather and perfect organization led to a day that WEDCo and the people of the west end of the Island will never forget: an exciting new chapter in Dockyard’s colourful history had well and truly begun.

We need to ensure that Dockyard continues to provide a pleasant and memorable experience for locals and visitors alike, by encouraging a diversity of attractions and activities. One of the most attractive things about the West End for locals and visitors is that there is something for everyone. Andrew Dias There is nowhere in Bermuda that provides so much that General manager is so accessible in one place – shopping, restaurants, water sports, arts and crafts, history and museums, swimming with dolphins, superb natural beauty and open space, as well as a growing live entertainment scene at night. Although we pride ourselves on developing a premier port and tourist destination, we have seen a significant and gratifying increase in local trade over the past two years, especially at weekends, as Bermuda residents discover that Dockyard is not only a desirable place to visit but one in which to live and work. We need to manage our future growth so that while we upgrade amenities and facilities to those of a world-class destination and port, we remain respectful of the remarkable 4 THE YEAR IN REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS During a year in which the Royal Naval Dockyard proudly Cruise SHIP Visits celebrated its 200th anniversary and welcomed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it was fitting that the financial year 2009- Work on the second cruise ship terminal at Heritage Wharf 2010 saw the West End Development Corporation (WEDCo, or was completed by the Department of Tourism in April 2009.

  • Fire! Heat! Sweat! Sand! and with Pride! an Ex-Employee of HM Dockyard, Portsmouth Looks Back
    Fire! Heat! Sweat! Sand! and With Pride! An Ex-Employee of HM Dockyard, Portsmouth Looks Back. Chapter 1 - A NEW BEGINNING Is it a good thing to look back to the past? I suppose, really, it depends on whether one has had a very happy childhood and home life, or one of utter sadness and sorrow that the individual wishes to blot out the past totally for the rest of his or her life. That, one can sympathise certainly with the individual concerned. However in my case I was very lucky that I was in the former category. Yes, times were hard - my late lovely parents and my late lovely married sister, earning a living during the 1950s, found it hard to make ends meet; but we were very happy with what we had, and our home at No 7 Rochester Road Southsea, in the historic city of Portsmouth, right on the South Coast of the United Kingdom, and home of course to the Royal Navy.1 I am now retired but went out into the big wide world to earn a living, at the tender age of 15, in January 1960, my final year at school in 1959, my birthday falling in December of that year, as it does every year. I always wanted to work in the Portsmouth Naval Base, as it is now called, originally called H. M. Dockyard, but entry had to be gained by passing the Dockyard Exam. This was held at the old Apprentice Training Centre at Flathouse, Mile End in Portsmouth. This has long passed into the history books, along with the old Mile End Cemetery, Bailey & Whites large timber store - all now under the new Continental ferry port.

A public consultation process will now help to determine which site is selected. The sites, which already hold radioactive materials, are either owned by MOD, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) or industry. They are: • the Atomic Weapons Establishment sites at Aldermaston and Burghfield in Berkshire which are owned by MOD and run by AWE plc; • Sellafield in west Cumbria, owned by the NDA; • Chapelcross in Dumfriesshire, owned by the NDA; • Capenhurst in Cheshire, which is run by Capenhurst Nuclear Services. Philip Dunne MP, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology: “When the submarines in the Royal Navy fleet reach the end of their lives we need to dispose of them in a way that is safe, secure and environmentally sound. “This open and transparent public consultation process provides the opportunity to work closely with local communities near to potential sites to listen carefully to their views with the aim of delivering a solution that achieves these objectives.

  • Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. England has the longest coastline in relation to its land mass in Europe: nowhere is very far from the sea.
