  • Case Study : Tinsley Viaduct Scope of Work
    CASE STUDY : TINSLEY VIADUCT PROJECT INTRODUCTION Tinsley viaduct is a two-tier steel box girder viaduct which opened in 1968 as a key structure on the M1 motorway near Sheffield in Yorkshire. The M1 is one of the UK’s main motorway arteries and a key economic link between the north and south of England. The upper deck of the viaduct serves the M1 and the lower deck serves the A631 which is part of the strategic road network around Sheffield. The maintenance of Tinsley Viaduct is the responsibility of Highways England and sits in Area 12 where A- one+, a joint venture between Costain, Colas and Jacobs, has the maintenance framework contract. A key project within the maintenance programme in 2019 was the repair and resurfacing of both lanes of the A631. As one of the UK’s leading road infrastructure repair specialists, Metrail Construction Ltd was selected by A-one+ to carry out the bridge deck waterproofing and associated concrete repairs on the south bound carriageway. SCOPE OF WORK The contract awarded to Metrail covered the following scope of work on a total of 18,000sq m of deck and 1850sq m of walkway: • Remove existing waterproofing • Remove existing walkway surfacing • Scrape the main deck to remove any remaining surfacing and waterproofing • Identify and carry out concrete repairs prior to waterproofing • Apply waterproofing, including bond coat, with a proprietary waterproofing system • Apply combined waterproofing/high friction surfacing on the walkway.

A series of reports have been produced by Sheffield City Council to investigate air quality throughout the City, including most recently the Stage 4 Review and Assessment report published in December 2002. These reports forecast that annual average concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) will exceed the standard laid down in the national air quality strategy in designated Air Action Zones1 in two parts of Sheffield, the City Centre and areas around the M1. The largest contributions to NO2 levels in the two AAZs are from road traffic (for both the M1 and the city centre) and ‘area’ sources (for the city centre alone, covering the domestic, commercial, public and small industry sectors).

  • Police and Crime Plan 2017-21 2018 Summary Police and Crime Plan
    Keeping People Safe Summary of the Police and Crime Plan for South Yorkshire 2017 - 2021 2 The role of the Police and Crime Commissioner Every four years, people in each police force area in the country elect a Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to represent them. My job as PCC is to set the priorities of the police and criminal justice services in South Yorkshire on your behalf. I do this by producing a Police and Crime Plan, setting out what I believe are your priorities for policing and crime. I then communicate this to the police, partner agencies such as the local authority and the NHS, the Police and Crime Panel (local councillors who hold me to account), the Home Office - and the public. Within the Plan is a list of issues that the public, police and partners have identified as areas of concern. (For the full version go to my website: www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk) The Chief Constable, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Force, must deliver the priorities and meet the outcomes I have set out in the plan. I hold the Chief Constable to account on the delivery of policing through my Public Accountability Board, which meets in public each month, as well as less formal meetings, discussions and reports throughout the year. I also hold the budget for policing and crime services in South Yorkshire and allocate money to deliver the plans to meet the priorities. This money is collected from a range of sources though principally Government grants and the Council Tax precept.

  • Conspiracy Theories and the Cultic Milieu of Neo-Nazism Dr
    Conspiracy Theories and the Cultic Milieu of Neo-Nazism Dr Paul Jackson Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Northampton [email protected] What is the appeal of neo-Nazism? After all, its political agenda is hostile and radically out of step with the norms of mainstream society, its vision for an alternate type of modern world is racist and extreme, and, perhaps most unappealing of all, even if one sympathises with its core ideas, it is also clear that it is never likely to succeed in the ultimate ambition of installing new states akin to Hitler’s Germany. Yet, despite these objections, and many others that can all too easily be identified, small numbers of people continue to develop political organisations, magazines, websites, the White Power music scene, and other types of cultural production and social networks that are steeped in romanticisation of the Nazi era, and call for its return. Many are attracted for easily explicable reasons, such as searching for a sense of community or engaging in youthful rebellion that passes, and do not believe in the movement’s core ideas. However, for others, those who do ‘believe’, what is the allure? Does its evocations on religious themes, and engagement in conspiracy theories help to explain its appeal? For those ‘outside’ this radically unconventional milieu and who want to make sense of it, at first it is all too easy to focus on the messages of hatred, the overt racism, and the initially bizarre, counter-intuitive ‘histories’ of events like the Holocaust and to dismiss such neo-Nazi cultures as wilfully offensive, and driven solely by ‘hate’.
