    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 28 October 2008 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 29 October to Monday 03 November 2008 Slater takes place among the greats: AUSTRALIA 52 ENGLAND 4. Billy Slater last night elevated himself into the pantheon of great Australian fullbacks with a blistering attacking performance that left his coach and Kangaroos legend Ricky Stuart grasping for adjectives. Along with Storm teammate and fellow three-try hero Greg Inglis, Slater turned on a once-in-a-season performance to shred England to pieces and leave any challenge to Australia's superiority in tatters. It also came just six days after the birth of his first child, a baby girl named Tyla Rose. Kiwis angry at grapple tackle: The Kiwis are fuming a dangerous grapple tackle on wing Sam Perrett went unpunished in last night's World Cup rugby league match but say they won't take the issue further. Wing Sam Perrett was left lying motionless after the second tackle of the match at Skilled Park, thanks to giant Papua New Guinea prop Makali Aizue. Replays clearly showed Aizue, the Kumuls' cult hero who plays for English club Hull KR, wrapping his arm around Perrett's neck and twisting it. Kiwis flog Kumuls: New Zealand 48 Papua New Guinea NG 6. A possible hamstring injury to Kiwis dynamo Benji Marshall threatened to overshadow his side's big win over Papua New Guinea at Skilled Park last night. Arguably the last superstar left in Stephen Kearney's squad, in the absence of show-stoppers like Roy Asotasi, Frank Pritchard and Sonny Bill Williams, Marshall is widely considered the Kiwis' great white hope.

C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services.

On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 26th October 2016 Newsletter #145 ALK ABOUT a busy time. We went into camp at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland on TWednesday , where the players had a recovery session followed by getting the rest of their kit thanks to BKL. That was followed by a family dinner in the hotel, then it was off to the airport to catch our Air NZ flight to the UK, with a short stopover at LA airport. The only excitement on the flight was me getting a bleeding nose as we flew out of Auckland and it never stopped the whole bloody way. The team doctor could not stop it until we got to London but all is well now. We arrived Thursday in London and stayed at the Marriott in Kensington with the first day a recovery ses- sion, with a team dinner in the hotel followed by massages for the players. The next day started with a rolling breakfast from 7am till 10am ( the same pleasant way we are starting each day) and next was monitoring and hydration in the team room, followed by a team meeting . Lunch in the hotel is followed by a weights and mobility session at a local gym called Equinox, with a team dinner out of the hotel. Saturday was much the same but Sunday we had a training run at Harrow school (very flash) followed by weights and recovery session at the school then back to the hotel for team activity which just happened to be going to an NFL game at Twickenham between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams.

  • Report of the Director of City Development
    Agenda: Originator: Tim Parry Tel: 2476385 Report of the Director of City Development Executive Board Date: 14 October 2009 Subject: LEEDS CORE CYCLE NETWORK PROJECT Electoral Wards Af fected: Specific Implications For: All except Wetherby, Otley & Yeadon, Guiseley & Rawdon, Equality and Diversity Kippax & Methley Community Cohesion Narrowing the Gap ü Ward Members consulted (referred to in report) Eligible for Call In Not Eligible for Call In ü (Details contained in the report) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an overview of proposals now being developed to implement a strategic approach to the longer term development of cycle facilities and routes within Leeds. The proposals build on a scheme submitted for Major Scheme funding to the Regional Transport Board early in 2009 which was not supported for funding. It is intended to take the project forward in phases. The Leeds Core Cycle Network which is the subject of this report will form the first phase of the project for development over the next few years as resources allow. Further work is in progress to identify extensions to this initial network capable of forming a Core Network 2 Project together with the intention to commence the early review of facilities provided within the City Centre. It is intended to progress the scheme from within the Local Transport Plan and the third Local Transport Plan from 2011 onwards, and to consider the scheme as a potential candidate for Major Scheme funding as opportunities arise. The first phase Leeds Core Cycle Network Project will provide a series of continuous safe and convenient cycle routes, primarily for commuting.
