    Paper for WaPUG Autumn Meeting 15th November 2001 Barrow uID Study – Three for the Price of One Graham Squibbs B.Tech, C.Eng., MICE. Julian Barber M.Sc, B.Eng, C.Eng, MICE, MIWEM Modelling Team, Asset Management, Service Delivery, United Utilities Introduction This paper covers the work undertaken for the Barrow uID Study. This is part of the United Utilities overall AMP3 uID programme which requires the improvement of 914 uID’s by March 2005. The Barrow uID’s are programmed for resolution by March 2004. Brief description of the study area Barrow Location plan Barrow-in-Furness lies at the tip of the Furness peninsula in West Cumbria which is bounded by the Irish Sea on its south-west and west sides. Barrow Island was originally separated from the mainland by a narrow channel, which has been infilled by a string of docks. Walney Island lies 150m off shore to the west, separated from the mainland and Barrow Island by Walney Channel. There are designated bathing waters on the east and north-west coast of the Furness peninsula, and on the West Coast of Walney Island, and designated shellfish waters in Walney Channel. Combined sewer overflows discharge to the Poaka Beck/Mill Beck system which flows to the sea via Cavendish Dock (SSSI), whilst other overflows spill to Ormsgill Reservoir which has a recreational (non-contact) use. Total population is calculated as 67,400 based on census data. Overall the population of Barrow is projected to decrease within the next ten years. Wastewater System The study area is served by a combined sewer system with post 1960's development drained by separate systems.

All Sport Insurance and Purple Travel have come on board as members of the newly-formed Rugby League Cares Business Club which aims to provide a wide range of services that help players, particularly in areas where the nature of their occupation can put them at a disadvantage. 2016 proved to be a challenging year for the charity as we continued to play an important role in assisting players successfully transitioning from the sport by awarding education and welfare grants. We enjoyed a very successful partnership with Rugby AM and the Jane Tomlinson Appeal on the Ride to Rio challenge; and we secured grants from Curious Minds and Cape UK to support club foundations to deliver some life-affi rming experiences for young people in their communities via a Cultural Welcome Partnership programme.

  • SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
    SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank­ ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement.
