NEW COLLEGE BUILDINGS

The College intends to modernise its current site in a multi-million pound investment to upgrade its buildings and create a new campus. The College has secured support and funding for the project and is now looking for a suitable developer to take the project forward. Although no formal plans have been submitted at this stage, the College aims to redevelop the existing location with new buildings in one area and sell the remaining land for development. The total amount of spending for the whole project will be about £40 million.

We are aware of people’s worries concerning the redevelopment of the site, but we cannot continue in the existing buildings in the long term. They have become tired and unworkable and are now proving very costly to maintain - which is money that should be spent directly on teaching and learning. The buildings do not meet our needs for the 21st century or the requirements of our students. They arc, quite simply, outdated.

The quality of the teaching and learning at the College will always be the most important consideration. That's why we intend to create a brand new College campus. We want our students to have the opportunity to learn in modern, up-to-date facilities. This investment is timed to make sure that our future students will also have top-class facilities.

During the creation of our new campus, we intend to ensure that the redevelopment takes place away from any buildings that will still be in use. It will be business as usual for the College. An assessment of all the existing buildings will be carried out to make sure that they are capable of providing a suitable learning environment until the new buildings are complete. Where necessary, money' will be made available to ensure that these buildings remain fit-for-purpose until the new buildings are ready.

We are determined to work closely with our local neighbours on this project. Although there will be a formal public consultation process as part of the planning procedures, we will also be inviting our immediate local residents to more informal meetings where we can give our full attention to their views and opinions. Our consultants are beginning work on putting together plans that will give us an idea of what the new campus will look like. We will consult closely with local people as the project progresses. Our intention is to create a College that benefits everyone.

The College understands the contribution that it makes to the local economy, both in terms of employment and the business generated by our thousands of students and staff. We believe the decision to rebuild the campus here in the town centre, rather than moving to a location outside it, will be very good for the town centre and will help it to continue to be economically successful.

Wc arc very aware of the fact that the College stands at the heart of the historic part of the town, with its many attractive old buildings. We view this as an opportunity to improve this area in general. With the exception of the historic Great Hall, all the existing buildings, which arc in a mixture of styles and are not attractive, will be pulled down. A new state-of-the-art campus will be constructed that will greatly improve the appearance of this part of the town.

PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

An eco-footprint is a measurement of the total amount of the earth’s natural resources needed to support the way in which you live. For example, it estimates the land required to produce everything you consume, as well as the area 1_______. It also calculates the size of forest required to absorb the carbon dioxide emissions from your car or from the plane that took you on holiday.

A new European Environment Agency study has identified the UK as one of the nations using more resources per person 2________. At an enormous 5.3 global hectares per person (about the size of six football pitches), the average UK eco-footprint is not much higher than the European average. But 3_________, we would need not one but three planets.

The good news is that children in the UK are starting to apply eco ‘pester power’ trying to persuade their parents 4_________. Ann McGarry, an education officer who runs a course called ‘Educating with the Eco-footprint. has seen a dramatic increase in the number of young people 5_________ . ‘The eco-footprint is a useful educational tool for showing where we make a big impact,' she says. The UK global footprint is approximately 20 global hectares per average family. Wealthier areas tend to have bigger footprints.*

Parents who are being put under pressure by their children can turn to eco-footprint calculators for help. Answering 16 straightforward questions on www.myfootprint.org will calculate your footprint 6___________. The questions relate to the size, location and energy efficiency of your home, your household size and car miles travelled each week, as well as air travel and weekly household waste. You arc also asked whether you recycle, buy heavily packaged goods and cat meat or processed foods.

Signora Grismondi and Lieutenant Scarpa sat opposite one another for some time, until finally Scarpa pushed himself out of his chair, came around behind hers, and left the room, careful to leave the door open behind him. Signora Grismondi sat and studied the objects on the lieutenant's desk, but she saw little to reflect the sort of man she was dealing with: two metal trays that held papers, a single pen and a telephone

The room had only a small window, and it was closed, so after twenty minutes Signora Grismondi could no longer ignore how uncomfortable she felt, even with the door open behind her. It had grown unpleasantly warm, and she got to her feet, hoping it might be cooler in the corridor. At the moment she stood, however. Lieutenant Scarpa came back into the room, a manila folder in his right hand. He saw her standing and said. ‘You weren't thinking of leaving, were you. Signora?'

There was no audible menace in what he said, but Signora Grismondi. her arms falling to her sides, sat down again and said. 'No. not at all.’ In fact, that was just what she wanted to do. leave and have done with this, let them work it out for themselves

Scarpa went back to his chair, took his seal, glanced at the papers in the trays as if searching for some sign that she had looked through them while he was away, and said. 'You've had time to think about this. Signora. Do you still maintain that you gave money to this woman and took her to the train station?’

Though the lieutenant was never to know this, it was this Hash of sneering insinuation that stiffened Signora Grismondis resolve. ‘I am not “maintaining" anything. Lieutenant.' she said with studied calm. ‘I am staling, declaring, asserting, proclaiming, and. if you will give me the opportunity to do so, swearing, that the Romanian woman whom I knew as Flori was locked out of the home of Signora Batteslini and that Signora Baitestini was alive and standing at the window when I met Flori on the street Further, I state that, little more than an hour later, when I took her to the station, she seemed calm and untroubled and gave no sign that she had the intention of murdering anyone.' She wanted to continue, to make it clear to this savage that there was no way that Flori could have committed this crime. Her heart pounded with the desire to continue telling him how wrong he was, but the habit of civilian caution exerted itself and she stopped speaking.

Scarpa, impassive, got up and, taking the folder with him, left the room again. Signora Grismondi sat back in her chair and tried to relax, told herself that she had had her say and it was finished. She forced herself to take deep breaths, then leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes

After long minutes she heard a sound behind her, opened her eyes and turned towards the door. A man as tall as Scarpa, though not dressed in uniform, stood there, holding what looked to be the same manila envelope. He nodded when her eyes met his and gave a half-smile 'If you'd be more comfortable. Signora, we can go up to my office. It has two windows, so I imagine it will be a little cooler.' He stepped aside, thus inviting her to approach.

She stood and walked to the door. 'And the lieutenant?’ she asked.

'He won't trouble us there.' he said and put out his hand. 'I'm Commissario Guido Brunetti. Signora, and I'm very interested in what you have to tell us’
