  • Ladbroke Grove

    Ladbroke Grove

    Background and Context The Ladbroke Grove Inquiry, which was conducted by Lord Cullen, arose out of the crash at Ladbroke Grove junction on 5 October 1999 between trains operated by Thames Trains and First Great Western. There were 31 fatalities. How the Topic was Handled The inquiry was conducted under section 14 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The inquiry had the following terms of reference: 1. To inquire into, and draw lessons from, the accident near Paddington Station on 5.10.99, taking account of the findings of the HSE ‘s [Health and Safety Executive] into immediate causes. 2. To general experience derived from relevant accidents on the railway since the Hidden inquiry [1988 Clapham Rail Crash], with a view to drawing conclusions about: o factors which affect safety management o the appropriateness of the current regulatory regime 3. In the light of the above, to make recommendations for improving safety on the future railway. The inquiry complemented, rather than replaced, investigations by the Health and Safety Executive. Dr Knapman, the coroner for Inner West London, carried out an inquest into each fatality, into the time and place of death, and the medical cause of death. In accordance with section 17A of the Coroners Act 1988, each of the inquests was adjourned to await the outcome of the inquiry and then not resumed. The costs of the inquest proceedings (much shorter than they would have been if there had been no public inquiry) were met by the local authorities with the coroner’s district (Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Wandsworth and Merton).

    Decentralized Energy Master Planning

    Decentralized Energy Master Planning The London Borough of Brent An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by Anthony Aldi Karen Anundson Andrew Bigelow Andrew Capulli Sponsoring Agency London Borough of Brent Planning Service Advisors Dominic Golding Ruth Smith Liaison Joyce Ip 29 April 2010 This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract The London Borough of Brent aims to reduce its carbon emissions via implementation of decentralized energy schemes including combined heat and power systems. The objective of this project was to aid Brent in the early stages of its decentralized energy master planning. By examining policies of other boroughs and studying major development areas within Brent, the WPI project team has concluded that the council must actively facilitate the development of decentralized energy systems through the use of existing practices and development of well supported policies. i Authorship Page This report was developed through a collaborative effort by the project team: Anthony Aldi, Karen Anundson, Andrew Bigelow, and Andrew Capulli.
