Figures show that the value of new construction in Great Britain continued to rise in 2016, reaching its highest level on record at £99,266M, with continued growth in the private sector driving new projects and revenue. The steady rise in the value of construction new orders seen since 2011 has continued, owing to the increase in all other work in 2016. However, construction price inflation reached 2.2% in the last month of 2016, above both the CPI and SPPI, at 1.1%. In materials and components, the trade deficit carries on. Imports are more than double the value of exports and this is concerning in the run-up to Brexit with economic and political uncertainty set to continue. The year resulted in growth in employment, with the skills gaps being filled by 55,831 extra jobs compared with 2015. Most employment is found around London, the South East and the North West, and the number of construction companies is increasing across the country. Even more positives can be found in the number of construction firms in Great Britain, which increased to its highest level on record in 2016. The ONS has stated that 2016 was a positive year for the construction industry, and while potential risks lie in confidence in the UK economy post-Brexit, this can be mitigated through government support and investment. Despite public sector output falling in 2016, low interest rates have facilitated private sector investment in the industry, and the marginal fall in public sector National HS2 college work has been far outweighed by the continuing expansion of the private sector; with growth coming launched from the housing sector in particular. Private housing and public other new work provided the main contributions to growth, with only private The Education Secretary, Justine Greening, has opened a new industrial new orders falling in 2016.

The colleges will provide growth of 3.8% in 2016. This expansion in construction young people with world-class technical skills such as output comes after two years of relatively high growth engineering, design, planning, manufacturing and construction. in the industry, with construction output expanding Education Secretary Justine Greening said: “It has been great by 4.4% in 2015 and 9% in 2014. to attend the official launch of the NCHSR. It is part of how we are steadily transforming technical education in this country, training up a new generation of skilled young people and the existing workforce so that British business has the skills it needs and people have the opportunities they want – a win-win for everyone. “We can only do this in partnership with employers – the NCHSR is just one great example of this. "The impressive new building and training facilities are at the forefront of our ambitions to create a world class system of technical education. "Doncaster is also one of the 12 Opportunity Areas that will benefit from a share of £72M to raise attainment and aspirations.

We have had major Estates developments with the creati on of a Gallery and Tutors’ Block for the Faculty of Arts and Media at our Kingsway campus, numerous enhancements on the main campuses at Chester and Warrington. However, the major Estates development that has dominated the agenda for the University has been the purchase, alterati on and refurbishment of our Riverside campus, which was formerly County Hall for Cheshire, located on the banks of Dee within the Walls and the City centre. The overall cost of the scheme will be about £15 million, with capital support from the NWDA/ERDF, HEFCE and the University’s funds. This massively impressive building will be the home for the Faculti es of Educati on and Children’s Services and Health and Social Care. In total, some 2,000 students will occupy the new campus from 1 September, with over 150 staff , including the University’s Marketi ng, Recruitment and Admissions Department and Business Development teams, being based there. Universiti es are more than bricks and mortar; they are about people, especially our students and the staff that support them. There have been so many initi ati ves that have been pursued by individual members of staff and students that it is impossible to pay tribute to them all, however, the University was delighted that its alumni garden received such prominent What’s inside recogniti on at the Royal Horti cultural Show at Tatt on.

  • Masculinity, Memory and the 1980S in British Cinema, 2005 – 2010
    The History Boys? : Masculinity, Memory and the 1980s in British Cinema, 2005 – 2010 Andy Pope The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth School of Media and Performing Arts – University of Portsmouth May 2015 Abstract This study will consider the function of cinema in British society’s ongoing relationship with the 1980s. Its focus on a key period of recent British film history acknowledges popular culture’s flourishing identification with this decade, reflected through a number of media including literature, music and fashion. I argue that with seventeen films set in the 1980s and produced between 2005 and 2010, British cinema is at the centre of this retrospective, providing a unique perspective on our relationship with the era. But what are the determinants of this mediated reminiscence and what does it say about the function of cinema in rendering the past? I contend that a key aspect of this channelling of popular and personal memory is the role of the writer and director. Nearly all male and mostly middle- aged, the films’ creative agents present narratives that foreground young male protagonists and specifically masculine themes. These thematic concerns, including patriarchal absence and homosocial groups, whilst anchored in the concerns of their 1980s socio-political landscape also highlight a contemporary need for the films’ authors to connect to a personal past. Through reference to sociological, cinematic and political discourse, amongst others, this study will also consider the role of memory in these films. It will contend that the films present a complex perspective of the 1980s, highlighting an ambivalent relationship with the period that transcends nostalgia.
