THE loneliness and isolation experienced by older people in Wales is explored in a new play being staged before Assembly Members and the public at The Pierhead in Cardiff on July 16.
Scottish ports and ferries owner Caledonian Maritime Assets said yesterday it had appointed civil engineering contractor George Leslie to carry out work to the old pierhead at Tiree.
The Ralphs applied to the state Department of Environmental Protection to build a dock running from their development's wooden bulkhead and the state's pierhead and bulkhead line, and continuing for 60 feet into the bay.
To be able to construct the 'shoulder' or pierhead that sits atop the massive pillars of the Skyway Stage 3 Project without closing off the entire road below, an Indonesian technology called 'Sosrobahu', which means 'a thousand shoulders' in Javanese, was employed.
However, it punches well above its weight in creating architectural presence in the context of the Millennium Centre next door, the adjacent Pierhead building being used as an educational facility, and of Cardiff Bay itself, a large expanse of water behind the barrage designed by Will Alsop.
