Because it was not previously possible to find a suitable processing site in Stoke on Trent, the contract specification included the requirement that the contractor will be responsible for providing either a transfer facility or a processing facility in Stoke on Trent. The composting service contractor procurement exercise has been undertaken and the preferred contractor is proposing a system whereby the waste is taken to a transfer site within Stoke at Mossfield Road and then bulked up for carriage to an existing In-Vessel facility at Ashbourne in Derbyshire. 1.3 However, from a long term sustainability point of view, it is acknowledged that this proposed system is not ideal and so it is proposed that the contract has a break clause after three years to allow adequate time for the possible development of a processing facility within the North Staffordshire Conurbation area for green garden waste, food waste and cardboard. 1.4 To align with current collection arrangements for combined green garden waste, food waste and cardboard, the most appropriate processing system is the provision of an ‘In-Vessel’ composting facility (IVC) to produce sterile and weed free compost compliant to Publicly Acceptable Standard 100 (PAS100). In-Vessel composting is an industrial form of composting biodegradable waste that occurs in enclosed reactors. Odours and emissions are prevented by tested environmental control technology. 1.5 The client’s brief had the following requirements: • To advise on the feasibility of siting the facility on a location within or near (10 mile radius) the City and the possibility of securing a relevant planning permission and waste management permit. • To advise on the cost and timetable by which this site can be brought into use. • To advise on the probability of securing a partnership agreement with the neighbouring authorities in the short, medium and long term. • To advise on the cost implications of interim arrangements by pursuing the option of locating within or near the City. • To advise on the potential for hybrid facilities comprising not only an In-Vessel facility but also the suitability of other processes such as Anaerobic Digestion. 1.6 In November 2009 our Interim Report was produced which identified a ‘long list’ of potential IVC sites in various categories, recommended a ‘short list’ of potential sites and set out a number of strategy options to provide a context for the appraisal of the short listed sites. MARCH 2010 3 NORTH STAFFS COMPOSTING STRATEGY FINAL REPORT 1.7 In December 2009 a supplementary report was produced which provided additional information including indicative costs in relation to a sample of short-listed sites to facilitate further discussion on the alternative strategy options for the In- Vessel composting facility. 1.8 Copies of those reports which comprise background information are available by request. This report summarises the findings of those reports and then goes on to recommend a preferred site and also outlines the scope of a feasibility study to investigate how that site could be developed. 2 STRATEGIC CONTEXT 2.1 Waste Core Strategy 2.1.1 A Joint Waste Core Strategy between Staffordshire County Council and Stoke- on-Trent City Council is to set out a vision, objectives and spatial strategy for the development of waste management facilities in Staffordshire County and the City of Stoke-on-Trent over the next 15 years. 2.1.2 The Waste Planning Authority has had recent discussions with the CLG concerning the content of the Core Strategy and it has been agreed that the preferred strategy should not include reference to the identification of specific strategic sites and instead it should rely on locational criteria policies. These policy criteria to assess the suitability of sites have the aim of ensuring that they are compatible with other adjoining or nearby land uses, complement existing activities, form part of integrated waste management facilities and secure higher environmental standards preferably by enclosing operations within buildings. 2.2 Regional Spatial Strategy 2.2.1 The West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy (WMRSS) is currently under review. The latest revision seeks to ensure that Waste Planning Authorities make sufficient provision of facilities to manage an equivalent amount of waste to that arising from within its area. The recent EiP report adds that provision should be made for facilities close to the source of the waste produced, take account of cross- boundary flows, encourage proposals that reduce waste and make more efficient use of resources. 2.3 AWM Landfill Diversion Strategy 2.3.1 In October 2009, Advantage West Midlands launched its Landfill Diversion Strategy with the aim of reducing the amount of waste taken to landfill, stimulating economic growth in waste industries and accelerating the drive to create a world- class waste infrastructure for the region. It forecasted that the organic treatment need for green and food waste incorporating open-windrow composting, In-Vessel composting and Anaerobic Digestion by 2025/26 for Staffordshire is 297 ktpa and 93 ktpa in Stoke on Trent. Staffordshire has permitted organic treatment capacity for green and food waste of approximately 283 ktpa and some of this capacity is currently non-operational or pre-operational. It can be seen that given the forecasted organic treatment need, additional facilities are required in the Stoke on Trent area to reduce export elsewhere. 4 MARCH 2010 NORTH STAFFS COMPOSTING STRATEGY FINAL REPORT 2.4 Renewable Energy & WRAP 2.4.1 The Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs (Defra) has developed a program that aims to maximize the cost-effective production and environmental benefits of biogas production, maximize the potential of biogas to reduce carbon emissions and the opportunities for injection of methane into the gas grid, and to maximize the potential of biogas to help to reduce the carbon footprint of water treatment infrastructure. The programme comprises grants towards the costs of constructing Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facilities, and is being administered by the Defra Waste and Resources Action Program (WRAP). To date some five grants have been awarded a total of some £10m. 2.4.2 Another driving force behind generation of renewable energy from AD is the Renewable Obligation Order that places an obligation upon licensed electricity suppliers in the UK to source an increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources. A Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC) is issued for each megawatt hour (MWh) of eligible renewable output generated and suppliers must demonstrate that they have met their obligation by presenting ROCs or otherwise they have to pay a financial levy to a Government fund. 2.5 Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Joint Municipal Waste Management Board 2.5.1 The JMWB is a partnership of all of the local authorities in Staffordshire. It has the objective of reducing the liability of the cost of waste management on the Council Tax payer and by good management, recovers the maximum resource value from the waste commensurate with legal requirements, best value and environmentally beneficial principles. In 2007 the JMWB produced the Integrated Municipal Waste Management Strategy for Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent (2020 Vision) which included a ‘Zero Waste to Landfill by 2020’ consultation exercise. 2.5.2 This Integrated Strategy encourages joint working arrangements including the use of the Hanford Incinerator by Stoke CC and Newcastle under Lyme BC. However, formal joint arrangements for composting have not been pursued with each Staffordshire authority making its own arrangements, with some using the Etwall facility and others using the Ashbourne facility, both in Derbyshire. This limited progress on collaborative arrangements is possibly because of differing existing collection and disposal contract arrangements, and the focus of attention being on other projects such as the proposed Energy from Waste plant at Four Ashes. 2.5.3 Staffordshire Moorlands has a composting contract until 2012 and Newcastle under Lyme has contract until 2015, which

    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.

  • CVEZ Booklet Spring 2020 FINAL
    CERAMIC VALLEY Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Enterprise Zone Spring 2020 #CeramicValley www.makeitstokestaffs.co.uk FOREWORD Councillor Abi Brown Chair, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone Board Leader, Stoke-on-Trent City Council Since it’s launch in 2015, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ) has consistently contributed to Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire’s continued economic growth, driving our move to high-value added sectors and raising productivity. We have seen investment flow in, enabling brownfield sites to finally be developed out. Built on the strong narrative of a resurgent city region, with a mix of land owners, developers and local authority partners, we have championed tirelessly the benefits of locating in the heart of the UK, and today are one of the most successful EZs in the country. With occupation over 73% of current development build and a pipeline of serious interest, this success is spurring next phase developments to bring forward their masterplans. Real progress has also been made to open access to the zone, with major infrastructure programmes being delivered on the A500 that links the sites, as well as opening up additional access. We are hugely proud of what we and our partners have achieved so far on CVEZ; sites derelict for generations are helping to regenerate local towns, and speculative investment has delivered growth that supports our burgeoning local economy, one of the fastest growing outside London & the South East. Ambitious leadership and real delivery have turned our plans into jobs and businesses, employing local people and raising aspirations amongst our young people. Ceramic Valley is far more than a project, it’s a modern take on our way of life.

  • Rape Research
    Rape Research After scene 2, in Paulson‘s Tavern, Tara is left behind whilst it empties out. This is the perfect setting for Danni to tranquilise her with a date rape drug. This is quite a strong subject, and I felt like the whole group should put more research and get a greater understanding, so we know how to deal with the situation and portray it through our performance. Personally, I have never known anyone who has experienced this situation before, so to ensure that I would create a believable performance and reaction, I needed to get a greater understanding and look at interviews, dramas and information about date rape and the affect it has on people‘s lives. BBC Health – Rohypnol http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/rohypnol.shtml What is Rohypnol? Rohypnol is the brand name of a medicine called flunitrazepam, and is one of the benzodiazepine class of sedative or tranquilizer drugs, of which ‗Valium‘ or diazepam is perhaps the best known. Rohypnol or flunitrazepam is 10 times more potent than diazepam. In the UK the drug is no longer used in the NHS but may be available on private prescription for those who need it (although it‘s generally felt that there are better alternatives). Its legal status in the UK is a class C drug, which means that it‘s illegal to possess flunitrazepam without a prescription. It‘s not legally available in the US, but as it is still made in some countries an illegal trade continues. Rohypnol rose to prominence as the date rape drug because it was colourless, odourless, tasteless and easily dissolved - ideal for spiking drinks undetected - and causes sedation or euphoria in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

    Former Johnson Matthey, Whittle Rd, Meir (NLP Ref: ST1) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 8.62 ha Lack of market interest ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 8.19 ha This 8.6 ha site has a prominent frontage onto the A50 (the Uttoxeter Road), and to the east it borders the Meir Park Industrial Estate, while it is flanked by housing to the south and west. The site used to accommodate Johnson Matthey’s main UK factory, but this closed in 2002 and the site has not been used since. Nothing remains of the site’s former buildings and it now suffers from fly tipping and litter issues. However, the site has been identified as suitable for B1, B2 and B8 uses. In 2010 IDI Gazeley obtained detailed consent to redevelop the site in order to provide a distribution scheme amounting to 42,920 sqm1 and the site is being actively marketed. The site has adequate access to labour and there are nearby amenities/services. In addition, within 400m of the site are numerous bus stops, albeit many of these are located in the nearby residential areas. OVERALL SITE GRADE: Good SITE RECOMMENDATION: Retain for employment use 1 As per application ref: 48907/FUL 9932770v7 Meir Depot, Uttoxeter Road, Meir - CFS 21 (NLP Ref: ST2) BARRIERS TO DELIVERY: GROSS SITE AREA: 1.76 ha Lack of market interest/poor access onto the A50 ESTIMATED NET DEVELOPABLE AREA: 1.67 ha This brownfield site (1.7ha) is located on the northern side of the A50 (the Uttoxeter Road), opposite the former Johnson Matthey factory site, and is included in this assessment as it was a call for sites submission.

  • Rock 2016 Fredrikson Stallard Courte S Y Da Vid Gill Gallery
    Courtesy David Gill Gallery David Courtesy Fredrikson Stallard Rock 2016 Introduction In the 1950s, when Dora Billington proclaimed ‘Craftsmanship alone is not Ceramics for Design and Subject Leader Ceramic of BA Leader Quinn is Course Anthony enough’, I wonder if she was aware her words would still resonate so strongly over 60 years later. By defining the approach that she fostered in the pottery studio of the Central School she identified, and eloquently named, a key philosophy that still drives the course today. Namely, to look beyond the material to its context, its challenges and its possibility for poetic intervention. It’s also testament to how active and absorbing ceramics at Central Saint Martins is that our centenary passed unnoticed (we are nearer 104 years old). But it’s been a busy century demonstrated by a glance at our alumni list, a who’s who of 20th century ceramics. Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins, as the Central School of Art and Design came to be, is in a constant state of purposeful experimentation recasting the traditional scope of the subject. This takes no small amount of energy from the course team and a huge belief from the students. But we are bound by a material curiosity, working with something so mercurial as clay, the embodiment of Billington’s proclamation. On the subject of clay camaraderie, prominent Course Leaders such as Gilbert Harding Green and Kathryn Hearn followed Billington’s lead cemen- ISBN 978-0-9956001-1-9 ting the course at the heart of the subject. I am proud to follow in that line and to be entrusted with a course ambition to be an active custodian for the This publication was created in association with the exhibition: subject and a world-leading centre of excellence for ceramic education.

  • A History of Twyfords 1680 - 1982
    A HISTORY OF TWYFORDS 1680 - 1982 James Denley Introduction Today’s events are tomorrow’s history and it is nearly 90 years since Joseph Hatton published his own story of Twyfords which he called ‘Twyfords A Chapter in the History of Pottery’. Now we have added one or two more historical chapters. I deeply appreciate James Denley’s work and would also like to add my thanks to those who have helped him. Both inside and outside the Company, people have been kind enough to give their time to enable us to gather together the wealth of information contained in this book. Inevitably there are omissions, but nevertheless, I am sure our history will be treasured by all those who may follow in our footsteps. I am particularly grateful to the elder generation, some of who are now in their 80’s, for so willingly and accurately recalling the events of past years. They have been our vital link - thank you all very much. Tradition and reputation are two things which money cannot buy and when you read the following chapters you will see that Twyfords have long and strong roots. But let me encourage you not to regard past achievements like a soft armchair in which to relax, but rather consider the past as a firm and solid springboard for the future development of Twyfords.
