Public Transport Information For information on getting to the coast using public transport, www.traveline.info please go to , or telephone 0871 200 22 33. Introduction Welcome to Durham’s Heritage Coastal Footpath, an 11 mile walking route following the England Coast Path National Trail. Discover and explore spectacular grasslands, superb coastal denes and uncover the rich heritage that has shaped this coastline into a unique and fascinating place to be. Why is it so special? Durham’s Coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. The Northern Brown Argus butterfly can be found amongst these grasslands in the summer months and flowers such as orchids, Bloody Cranesbill, Thrift, Birds’ Eye Primrose and Common Rock Rose are a characteristic sight on the grassy cliff tops. The sound of Skylarks and Lapwings in the summer are a musical treat not to be missed. The coastal denes created at the end of the last ice age support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for mammals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bats.

Executive summary Co-firing has made a significant contribution to renewable electricity generation in the UK, and is supported through the Renewables Obligation (RO)—the government’s primary tool for encouraging the large-scale deployment of renewable electricity.1 However, the role of co- firing in the RO has been reviewed on a number of occasions, and revised through changes in the cap placed on the extent to which co-fired Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) can be used by licensed electricity suppliers within the scheme.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

Dey1, John Brammer2 1Operations and Information Management Group, Aston Business School 2European Bioenergy Research Group Aston University Birmingham B4 7ET, United Kingdom *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Biomass combined heat and power (bCHP) systems are highly efficient at smaller-scales when a significant proportion of the heat produced can be effectively utilised for hot water, space heating or industrial heating purposes. However, there are many barriers to project development and this has greatly inhibited deployment in the UK. Project viability is highly subjective to changes in policy, regulation, the finance market and the low cost fossil fuel incumbent. The paper reviews the barriers to small-scale bCHP project development in the UK along with a case study of a failed 1.5 MWel bCHP scheme.

All other pictures: Ute Collier, CCC. Bioenergy review Committee on Climate Change December 2011 Preface The Committee on Climate Change (the Committee) is an independent statutory body which was established under the Climate Change Act (2008) to advise UK and Devolved Administration governments on setting and meeting carbon budgets, and preparing for climate change. Setting carbon budgets In December 2008 we published our first report, ‘Building a low-carbon economy – the UK’s contribution to tackling climate change’, containing our advice on the level of the first three carbon budgets and the 2050 target; this advice was accepted by the Government and legislated by Parliament. In December 2010, we set out our advice on the fourth carbon budget, covering the period 2023-27, as required under Section 4 of the Climate Change Act; the fourth carbon budget was legislated in June 2011 at the level that we recommended. Progress meeting carbon budgets The Climate Change Act requires that we report annually to Parliament on progress meeting carbon budgets; we have published three progress reports in October 2009, June 2010 and June 2011. Advice requested by Government We provide ad hoc advice in response to requests by the Government and the Devolved Administrations. Under a process set out in the Climate Change Act, we have advised on reducing UK aviation emissions, Scottish emissions reduction targets, UK support for low-carbon technology innovation, design of the Carbon Reduction Commitment and renewable energy ambition.
