    BSW Timber Response to Consultation on the Natural Resources Body for Wales (additional consultation) Your name: Hamish Macleod Organisation (if applicable): BSW Timber Email / telephone number: [email protected] / 01228 674221 Consultation questions Question 1: Do you agree with our proposal for the duties of the body in respect of conservation and natural beauty? Yes /Mainly/Not at all Question 2: Do you agree with the proposals in respect of public access and recreation duties? Yes/ Mainly/Not at all If not how would you change it? : BSW Timber is the UK’s largest domestic sawmilling group, processing around fifteen per cent of the UK timber harvest. The group has an annual turnover in excess of £175m, directly employing over 900 people; indirect employment in timber harvesting and haulage accounts for another 2,500 jobs. The company has six mills in the UK (and one in Latvia), including one in Newbridge-on-Wye. It has been involved in sawmilling since 1848. The company is currently implementing a five-year capital investment programme, worth £52m, in modernising the mills and expanding capacity to produce more than 1.3 million m3. As such it is one of the largest buyers of timber in the UK. BSW has invested £6m in the Newbridge mill over the past five years. This has allowed for an extension of working hours and the creation of 29 full-time jobs in addition to the 140 full-time staff already employed at the mill. BSW is supportive of the Welsh Government’s efforts to streamline environmental management in Wales through the creation of a single delivery body.

North Wales Branch Cangen Gogledd Cymru Hope you like the edition, we have a continuation of two of the three articles started in the last issue, the question is not so much ‘How does a lad from a council house in a suburb of Bristol...’ but where did he get to? The occasional general interest countryside ‘series’ is back with a look at Rhydymwyn Nature Reserve. No book or DVD review as such rather a feature article about American Master Craftsman Dan Snow’s work and his books and DVD. Thanks to Dan for permission to use photos from his books. There’s a feature article on a project being carried out at Bath University looking at bulging in retaining walls. Interestingly the first wall was built so well that it toppled before it bulged. For those of us who write the occasional report on a wall this quantifiable evidence is invaluable, we STONECHAT can only hope that such investigations continue and they look specifically at other faults and differences between stone types Meanwhile back copies of Stonechat (from issue 6 on) are now available. £2 each or 3 for £5 (or No.18 £1.50 and £4 respectively collected from meetings/events). We have actually sold 2 complete sets. They will be available at the next meeting and forthcoming events. Otherwise contact me. We’re still awaiting their on-line appearance on the DSWA site, and at some point they should also appear on the South West England Branch’s website www.swedswa.org.uk, Thanks!

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.

  • 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.
