According to their website this will protect 30 properties from sewer flooding, but will result in road restrictions for months. The work involves several main streets in Leamington and has been split into five phases, starting in November 2012 and continuing until July 2014. Severn Trent are currently in the third phase which is mainly taking place along the High Street, but with some work also being carried out in Forfield Place and St Mary’s Crescent. Work on this area of Leamington is due to finish in November of this year, but it may take longer.

  • Centre Stage the Pipeline of Bame Talent
    CENTRE STAGE THE PIPELINE OF BAME TALENT AndrewAndrew Lloyd Lloyd Webber Webber FoundationFoundation INTRODUCTION— hen I produced Bombay Dreams over a decade ago and was privileged Wto introduce the marvellous music of A R Rahman to a West End audience, one of our greatest difficulties was finding enough Asian actors. BAME diversity in the performing arts has once again been high on the agenda this year, from the runaway success of Hamilton on Broadway to the latest announcement from Arts Council England of £4.6 million to boost diversity. Very often the discussion is focussed on increasing the representation of diverse ethnicities on stage and this is crucially important. However, I’ve been acutely aware that one of the biggest issues is the lack of trained diverse talent coming through. Casting directors and theatre producers alike often complain that they’d like to cast more Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic performers but that they don’t get enough turning up to audition. Inspired by some of the success stories coming out of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation’s scholarship programme – such as Emmanuel Kojo who is interviewed in these pages – the Foundation decided to commission this " I PASSIONATELY research. The aim was to come up with some positive recommendations that BELIEVE THAT can be adopted by people involved at every stage of the talent pipeline from THE STAGE NEEDS school to stage. TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE UK I passionately believe that the stage needs to reflect the diversity of the POPULATION OR IT UK population or it risks becoming side-lined.

  • Winter Highlights 2004
    DRAMA WINTER HIGHLIGHTS 2004 ENGLAND EXPECTS Steven Mackintosh stars in a hard-hitting drama about a man who is drawn back to his far right past as his life spirals out of control. Mackintosh plays Ray, a responsible family man, fiercely protective of his daughter, Nikki. But he is also a control freak and, when things start to go wrong – first at work and then at home – he begins to lose his grip on reality. As his behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and he looks for someone other than himself to blame, he turns towards people from his past – people who are prepared to exploit him for their own ends. England Expects is produced by award-winning programme-maker Ruth Caleb. Her BBC ONE credits include Dominic Savage's Out Of Control, which won the Michael Powell Award for Best British Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Antonia Bird's Care, which won the Prix Italia for Best Drama. IN DENIAL OF MURDER Stephen Tompkinson plays campaigning local journalist Don Hale in a factually based drama which explores the controversial case of Stephen Downing and the murder in 1973 of Wendy Sewell (played by Caroline Catz) in Bakewell cemetery in the Peak District. Don Hale’s determination to prove Downing’s innocence captured the imagination of the press and public alike. Based on extensive research and written by Neil McKay, In Denial Of Murder tells the moving and tragic story behind the headlines, combining the story of Hale’s campaign with an account of the life of the murder victim.

  • Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19
    Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19 Nancy Marshall, the PR Maven® Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19 Many businesses and organizations have chosen to go dark during COVID19. They think people aren't paying attention, and that it's too difcult to cut through the clutter of the non-stop news and updates on the virus and governmental mandates. So they're not posting anything new on their website or social media, and they're not issuing press releases or buying ads. Now is not the time to go dark. Now is the time to shine the light on others. It's time to serve your audience, whether your audience consists of a classroom of third graders or a million fans of your brand. And it's time to show your humanity toward those who are suffering because of this worldwide health crisis. If you have something to offer your audience, now's the time to share it with them. Run your offer through the lens of service Can you serve your audience by: Giving them hope? Selling them a product that they can use now, or that they can use as part of their post-COVID19 life? Educating them about something they're interested in learning? Entertaining them with a song, a performance, or a story? Giving them a respite from all the serious news with a good belly laugh? People are in their homes and consuming more media than ever before. They're watching more television shows and movies, and surng the web more than ever.
