  • Equality Impact Assessment
    Equality Impact Assessment Introduction An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to ensure that equality is placed at the centre of policy development and review, as well as service delivery. The purpose of this EIA is to systematically analyse the likely impact of a service, policy or proposals on different community groups, and how the needs of such groups have been taken into account in developing those proposals. The EIA can anticipate and recommend ways to avoid any discriminatory or negative consequences for a particular group, on the grounds of any protected characteristic. It provides the opportunity to demonstrate the potential benefits for equality target groups arising from a proposed policy or project. The need for an EIA stems from the general duty placed on public authorities to eliminate unlawful discrimination in carrying out functions, and promote equality of opportunity. This is outlined in the Equality Act 2010, with specific public sector duties in place from April 2011. 1. Name of Policy or Service (existing or proposed) Parks & Open Spaces 2. Responsible Manager Andrew Richardson 3. Date EIA completed Review date 20/05/2012 20/05/2013 4. Description and aims of policy / service (including relevance to equalities) The provision of high quality parks and public open spaces including playgrounds throughout the borough. To provide information and education through events and activities and encouraging the use of open space by others for organised events increasing the use of the facilities. 5. Who are the stakeholders? All residents of South Ribble, elected members and council employees. 1 6. What outcomes do we want to achieve? To provide high quality parks and open spaces accessible to all abilities.

  • Forth Estuary Transport Authority Feasibility Study for The
    Forth Estuary Transport Authority Feasibility Study for the Replacement (or Augmentation) of the Main Cables of the Forth Road Bridge – Preliminary Findings 01 June 2007 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 To advise members on the preliminary findings of the feasibility study to replace or augment the main suspension cables of the Forth Road Bridge, all subject to ratification in the final report. 2 Background 2.1 The main cables are the primary load bearing members of suspension bridges. On the Forth Road Bridge they each carry around 14,000 tonnes, 86% of which is the load applied by the dead weight of the suspended structure. 2.2 A significant level of corrosion was found in the main cables following the first internal inspection carried out in accordance with the U.S. National Co-operative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 534. The inspection work was carried out during the second half of 2004 and through 2005. From the inspection and later examination of extracted wire samples in the laboratory it was determined that the loss of strength lay between 8% and 10%. Extrapolation of the results indicated that the safety factor would drop below 2, the commonly accepted minimum figure, in around 2014 if corrosion continued and that some intervention would be required to remove a proportion of live (traffic) load from the bridge. 2.3 If corrosion continued at the anticipated rate, complete closure of the bridge could follow some 5 years later. 2.4 An independent review of FETA’s consultant’s conclusions, carried out by the Scottish Executive appointed consultants, generally concurred with the study’s findings.
