S . Our editorial team had the great idea to select articles from the previous 99 editions, and you will see their selection in the following pages. Overall they exemplify how, over the Trust’s 31 years existence it has consistently faced and overcome challenges, gone from strength to strength and acquired and transformed derelict land into beautiful havens for people, for wildlife and eventually for boaters and thus also economic advantages through tourism. What struck me overall from reading these back numbers was the number of recurrent themes, the foresight which directors and officers over the years have had and, of course, the achievements. A few examples: Summer 2004: The late and much valued Chairman, Brian Kingshott, wrote “what a rejuvenated BCN will do for Brownhills .... look for help from Walsall MBC”. What prescience! Here we are now in 2019 talking with West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) – watch this space, and keep your fingers (and toes!) crossed! That prescience is evident particularly with the installation of the aqueduct (see August 2003) and the Birmingham Road culvert (Autumn 2006) The article from Autumn 2004 includes for the first time the word “Ecology”, meaning how living organisms interact with their environment: the Trust has done so much over the years to improve the environment, with the Heritage Towpath Trail and habitat enhancements for flora and fauna wherever we work. Of these articles and almost at their chronological extremes are references to the Hatherton Canal (Spring 1996 and Autumn 2015) These both sum up the dilemma we face, and the determination that despite the difficulties we remain committed to restoring both. Finally, Spring 2018’s report of “The Big Lift, The Beast from the East and Storm Emma” shows exactly how amazing LHCRT is, why it has The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service and how it continues to turn threats into successes. Chris Bull, (Chairperson) If you have received this magazine and you are not a member please consider joining the Trust. For more details contact the Membership Secretary (details on Page 30) Summer 2019 Page 3 Spring 1993 Whether you have purchased this magazine out of curiosity, or whether you are an ardent canal enthusiast, we hope that you will find something of interest - if not then please lets us know. In this edition it is important to stress what we are all about. The northern Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) are the residual part of what was once an extremely intricate transportation system - the canals of the Midlands were the veins and arteries of the industrial revolution. Although these canals venture well out into rural solitude, the only way back to the main canal network is to return to the centre, as routes northwards have been closed. It is unfortunate that for this reason more people do not brave some of the less pleasant parts as the northern reaches of the BCN are rural and splendid in their isolation. We believe that the best way to promote greater use of the BCN is to open up at least one through route, preferably two. The Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust Ltd has been the steering group for the project since 1987. Recent successes in securing funding and breaking the “credibility barrier” mean that it is now time for a membership arm - “The Friends of the Lichfield and Hatherton Canals”. We will support and raise funds on behalf of the Trust, who will remain the steering group for the projects. John Morris (Chairman, Friends Of The Lichfield And Hatherton Canals.) Summer 2019 Page 4 August 1996 A word from Phil Sharpe The Vice-Chairman welcomes the Trust’s new membership, both those transferred from the “Friends” and new recruits, and indicates the way forward for Cut Both Ways, Welcome to the first edition of Cut Both Ways under new management. The “Friends” are dead, long live the Trust! The Friends Of The Lichfield & Hatherton Canals did a valuable job in building up membership and supporting the Trust, but we now have a new beginning under a unified structure. We thank all the Friends committee for their hard work in publicity and fund raising and welcome John Morris and Trevor Morris to the Trust Council.

Summer 2019 Page 5 Autumn 2003 August 2003 AQUEDUCT The Lichfield Canal Aqueduct is complete and we are including colour photographs of the installation of the trough and walkways in August and the inauguration ceremony. This marks the culmination of 15 years of campaigning and nearly 3 years of fund raising to counter the severance threatened by the construction of the new motorway. We may not have got all that we wanted, or indeed that the public inquiry inspector recommended, but what we have achieved is 2 major culverts enlarged to navigable size for the Hatherton Canal and an aqueduct for the Lichfield Canal, and on the back of that more funding for engineering, economic and environmental reports on the Hatherton we know that we have still barely Canal plus some land purchase and, scratched the surface of what needs to we hope, some advance pre-cast bridge be done so that the celebrations, whilst units and finally, as explained below, a deserved and enjoyed, should give no new bridge on the Lichfield Canal.

Summer 2019 Page 6 Summer 2004 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN One of the Chairman’s roles is to represent the Trust at meetings and functions. It is always a pleasure to do this and to meet a wide range of people. Those I talk to seem to fall into two very distinct categories. There are those who know all about our work, are enthusiastic to see us succeed and may well be members. Then there is the great majority who, amazingly, have never heard of us. This great division reminds me of advice I was once given when given the task of promoting and advertising an organisation. I was told always to assume that nobody had ever heard of you. Advice I suspect stems from the 14th Army, known as the “forgotten army” lt reminded me of my old day job and which fought in Burma in the Second running prize day. However, the main World War. General Slim told them that pleasure was being greeted by so many not only were they forgotten but that people who are supporters of the Trust nobody had even heard of them.

As ever, everything depends on E LT finding funding for specific projects and we have had many disappointments over the TR D years. Yet another occurred last summer when the prospect of an SIB Community . Group grant for work on the towpath trail was dashed (see Money Matters in this S issue). Then, last October this suddenly became active again and the same funding, of £336,000 was made available. This is a wonderful opportunity but it came with several stings in the tail.

  • OPENING PANDORA's BOX David Cameron's Referendum Gamble On
    OPENING PANDORA’S BOX David Cameron’s Referendum Gamble on EU Membership Credit: The Economist. By Christina Hull Yale University Department of Political Science Adviser: Jolyon Howorth April 21, 2014 Abstract This essay examines the driving factors behind UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to call a referendum if the Conservative Party is re-elected in 2015. It addresses the persistence of Euroskepticism in the United Kingdom and the tendency of Euroskeptics to generate intra-party conflict that often has dire consequences for Prime Ministers. Through an analysis of the relative impact of political strategy, the power of the media, and British public opinion, the essay argues that addressing party management and electoral concerns has been the primary influence on David Cameron’s decision and contends that Cameron has unwittingly unleashed a Pandora’s box that could pave the way for a British exit from the European Union. Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the Bates Summer Research Fellowship, without which I would not have had the opportunity to complete my research in London. To Professor Peter Swenson and the members of The Senior Colloquium, Gabe Botelho, Josh Kalla, Gabe Levine, Mary Shi, and Joel Sircus, who provided excellent advice and criticism. To Professor David Cameron, without whom I never would have discovered my interest in European politics. To David Fayngor, who flew halfway across the world to keep me company during my summer research. To my mom for her unwavering support and my dad for his careful proofreading. And finally, to my adviser Professor Jolyon Howorth, who worked with me on this project for over a year and a half.

  • Walsall Tour Notes 1993
    Walsall Tour Notes 1993 The West Midlands Group organised a walk that followed the Wyrley & Essington Canal from Walsall to Sneyd and used the newly re-opened passenger route from Bloxwich North to visit Churchbridge Railway interchange basin and the now demolished South Staffordshire Railway House near there, These notes reflect a time prior to the railway privatisation, when Regional Railways had charge of local services and Intercity operated the express trains in this region. Members from the East Midlands, West Midlands and North West groups attended. Lunch was arranged at the public house built beside the infilled locks at Sneyd. Tour leader ; Ray Shill. Index 2 – 18 Morning Walk 19 – 30 Afternoon Walk 31 – 34 Images of Walk Area 1 2 3 The walk begins at Walsall Station and the group assembles in the Saddler Centre. It is a modern brick and concrete structure, a product of 1970's architecture. Many will probably remember the old station, its wooden circular booking hall and frontage to Park Street. Some may even recall the transition, in 1978, when the old booking office was demolished to leave a gaping hole above the tracks below. In this period the station entrance was effected from Station Street across a temporary footbridge to an equally temporary booking office on the island platform. Then there was only one passenger service. Electric units, usually 304s, trundled from New Street to Walsall and back. Their diagram's might have involved exotic places such as Bletchley or Manchester, but for Walsall folk the train only went to Birmingham. If they wanted anywhere else it was simply change at Brummagen.

  • Open Space Strategy 2014 - 2028
    Open Space Strategy 2014 - 2028 Foreword Councillor Robert McCardle Cabinet Member Planning and Business Enterprise I am pleased to introduce the second Open Space Strategy for South Staffordshire. It aims to build on the successes from the previous strategy and looks at future ways to provide the open spaces that the district’s residents and visitors deserve. Open spaces provide essential facilities for all kinds of recreational activity, aid people’s health and wellbeing, assist in supporting the economy, mitigate the impacts of climate change and are part of the solution to flooding. In short, they are vitally important in creating sustainable places and sustainable communities as well as providing a wealth of other environmental benefits. It is therefore necessary to ensure that open space considerations form part of the Council’s strategic planning work. We have recently completed a major piece of work on the provision of indoor and outdoor sports facilities. That work is complementary to this Open Space Strategy and, together they will contribute to a Supplementary Planning Document on Open Space, Sport and Recreation that supports policies in the Local Plan. Only by careful strategic planning can we make sure that existing open spaces are safeguarded and enhanced and that new sites are provided through the development management process. We have set an ambitious but achievable set of challenges that will be met through the implementation of this strategy. Over the course of the next 15 years, we will meet these challenges and deliver the vision for open spaces in South Staffordshire. 1 Foreword Councillor Mrs Mary Bond Cabinet Member Community Services Open spaces are one of the most visible services the Council provides.

    NOU-17-1993 16=26 UK MISSION _ 212 745 9332 P. 01/16 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 1 6 Nov 1 ... -V JW ftl Ittu pag? 2 of $ the introduction of a new class IB employers' national insurance contribution, so that treatment of contributions on payments and benefits to employees included in a pay-as-you-eam settlement agreement can be aligned with the tax treatment. Regulations to give effect to all those changes will be laid before both Houses in due course. Mr. Mackinlay: I concentrated on that reply with considerable vigour. May I ask the Minister what he will do about employers—such as P and O Stena, and Cable and Wireless-who have the practice of paying their employees offshore, thereby avoiding paying national insurance contributions? That practice is not only unfair but unpatriotic, Should it not be stopped, immediately, by legislation? What does he say? Mr. Timms: I am aware of the concerns expressed by hon. Friend, which we are closely examining. Iraq 3,30 pm The Prime Minister (Mr. Tony Blair): Madam Speaker, with your permission, I shall make a statement on the situation in Iraq. As the House will know, on Saturday I had authorised substantial military action as part of a joint US-UK strike against targets in Iraq. British Tornado fighter bombers were about to take to the air, and 1 had already spoken to the detachment commander to thank the detachment for its bravery and professionalism, when we received word that the Iraqis were telling the United Nations Secretary-General that they had backed down.
