Graham was born in Melton Mowbray, one of the 2 sons of Paul and Frances Tyrrell. After schooling in Melton, he undertook an apprenticeship with Stanton Staveley and during this time met his future wife, Pat, at Melton Rugby Club. He then worked for Ashwell & Nesbit Ltd on Barkby Road, Leicester and he and Pat were married in 1968 and set up home in The Row next to Pat’s parents community. This gave him an immense amount of pleasure and he made many friends in the 11 years he spent there. Prior to his illness, Graham volunteered as driver for the local South West Framland community lunches and became well known to many older people in the district through that. For a time, Graham was employed by Vabara Fabrications on Waterloo Way, Leicester, a business he and Pat were later to own for some 20 years. On relinquishing the business, Graham began another important chapter of his life in voluntary work, starting as a volunteer driver for the NHS, transporting patients with mental health issues. This led the way to being a training instructor at Linnaeus Nursery, again working with mental health patients in the Graham was a very competent cook and his dinner parties were legendary. He was particularly fond of classical music, regularly attending concerts at De Montfort Hall. A keen trout fisherman he also enjoyed walking and gardening, if pushed. Over the years Graham and Pat enjoyed many holidays – on the Isle of Skye throughout their daughter Claire’s childhood and touring in France, staying in gites. In later life they travelled widely in the Far East to China, India, Sri Lanka as well as to Egypt, Europe and closer to home in Norfolk. In his latter years Graham became increasingly incapacitated with progressive supranuclear palsy - a rare condition which is hard to diagnose and only affects about 6,000 people in the UK. Eventually he required 24-hour nursing care and received outstanding care at Aylsham Court Nursing Home. Graham was a loving and proud family man, a man who was gregarious yet appreciated his own space, someone who always worked hard and took great delight in helping others in any way he could. The large congregation in All Saints Church , Rotherby at the service to celebrate Graham’s life is an indication of how much he will be sadly missed by his family and wide circle of friends. 4 5 4 5 6 7 6 7 Local Roman Catholic Churches – Mass www.dioceseofnottingham.uk/parishes St. John the Baptist Thorpe End, Melton Mowbray LE13 Sun 9am 01664 562274 1RB St Francis Convent Dalby Rd Sat: 6pm, Sun 10.30am St. Gregory the Great 24, The Banks, Sileby LE12 7RE.

    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • Catchment Scale Fine Sediment Dynamics and Its Implications for Flood Management
    Catchment scale fine sediment dynamics and its implications for flood management Sarah J Twohig School of Architecture Building and Civil Engineering A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University © by Sarah Twohig 2018 Abstract The impact of fine sediment on catchment flood risk is often neglected when designing and implementing catchment managements plans. Yet, the accumulation of fine sediment can diminish channel capacity, causing an increase in flood risk. To successfully transition away from costly and invasive sediment management methods towards an integrated Natural Flood Management (NFM) approach, the dynamics of fine sediment and its implications for flood risk management must be explored. This thesis employs a novel geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and social approach to explore the influence of fine sediment on flood risk. Hydrological modelling of connectivity and erosion risk was conducted to determine the potential sources using SCIMAP. The model found the River Eye has relatively low connectivity, suggesting sources of sediment in- channel are likely derived from local sources such as river banks. The sub- catchments of Burton Brook and Langham Brook as the areas of highest connectivity and erosion risk indicating likely source areas. To explore patterns of spatial and temporal fine sediment transport an intensive field monitoring campaign was conducted using Time Integrated Mass Sediment samplers (TIMS) across the River Eye catchment. The suspended sediment samples found sites upstream of the silt trap had higher sediment loads than downstream, indicating the silt traps effectiveness in reducing fine sediment. Sediment yield analysis found the Burton Brook tributary is a significant contributor of fine sediments delivering 17.4 g km2 day-1.

    Rural Economy Planning Toolkit Companion Document Instructions for Using the Toolkit Useful Context Information Produced by: Funded by: Rural Economic Development Planning Toolkit This document explains how to use the toolkit in greater detail and sets out some of the broader context relevant to the development of the toolkit. Its sections are: Instructions for Using the Toolkit Economic Development Context The Emerging National Framework for Planning and Development The assessment of planning applications for rural economic development: designated sites and key issues for Leicestershire authorities What makes a good rural economic development planning proposal? Case Studies Parish Broadband Speeds The Distribution and Contribution of Rural Estates within Leicestershire Attractions in Leicester and Leicestershire Instructions - Using the Toolkit The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF document. Most of the text is locked, and you cannot change it. Throughout the toolkit, though, comments, information and responses are asked for, and boxes you can type in are provided. You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader. This means you have now created a version of the toolkit for the particular project you are working on, and still have the blank copy of the toolkit for another time. Let's assume you have saved your copy of the PDF file as 'Project.pdf' – every time you save again you will save all of the additions and traffic light choices you have made.
