- Peter Fraenkel obituary
Award-winning civil engineer responsible for worldwide projectsPeter Fraenkel, who has died aged 94, was a civil engineer at the heart of a movement of British consulting engineers responsible for infrastructure all over the rapidly developing post-colonial world of the 1970s and 80s. He built up a 160-strong practice that produced innovative, heavy engineering solutions to such problems as how to support the world's then longest cable-stayed bridge in Thailand and how to build the biggest road projects at that time through the challenging topography of Hong Kong.In the UK, he quickly made a name for himself by carrying out research that led to the regeneration of Britain's stricken canal network. Fraenkel was asked to put together teams to walk along some of the country's 3,100km of canals to research the feasibility of bringing them back into commercial use. Many had fallen into dereliction and only through the efforts of enthusiasts had the occasional pumping house or lock been restored. The Fraenkel report (1975) argued persuasively that there was a case for restoring much of the network, aided by central government funding.This report, for the Department of the Environment, was a catalyst for some early projects, such as the restoration of 39 locks on the Kennet and Avon canal and the restoration of the Avoncliff aqueduct, which Peter Fraenkel and Partners (PFP) carried out. By the turn of the millennium, he was able to look back with pride at his role in the UK-wide regeneration of the 18th- and 19th-century waterways.Fraenkel was born in Breslau, Germany, now Wroclaw in Poland. His German parents – his father was Jewish, though Peter was brought up as a Lutheran – horrified at the rise of nazism, sent Peter to London aged 16.

- Windrush Day: a fitting way to celebrate our immigrant population
It is time we had a national holiday to acknowledge the contribution of black and Asian communities to British lifeIsn't it time we had a public holiday to celebrate the contributions of black, Asian and other minority communities to Britain over the last 60 years? The call for a Windrush Day emulates a long-running US campaign for a public holiday recognising diversity and cultural identity, with Martin Luther King, Jr Day finally becoming a reality in 1986.We should choose 22 June, the day when the MV Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in 1948: a powerful and iconic symbol of the rise of modern-day multicultural Britain. The Windrush is not simply a symbol of the 492 Caribbean men and women who arrived on that ship – the first big group of postwar immigrants from the West Indies – but of everyone who came from the Empire; British subjects who saw Britain as their mother country. The seeds of modern migration were sown in these former colonies, from which 2.5 million men and women volunteered to fight fascism during the second world war.The fight for a tolerant, respectful society goes on – and a Windrush Day would be the best answer to the BNP and its sympathisers, who believe that multiculturalism has failed and that Britain should to return to how it looked in 1950.There's an urgency to this, too, since the Windrush generation is fast disappearing. Many of those born between 1910 and 1940 may not be around at the 70th anniversary Windrush celebrations in 2018. We can't afford to wait eight years to mark their achievement, and we will be poorer as a nation if we fail to document their history and contribution to Britain and beyond.So let's have a Windrush Day, in time for the Olympics in 2012: after all, they were won for London on the strength of our cu 私たちが国民の祝日、イギリスlifeIsn。。u0026#39;t黒とアジアの地域社会に貢。私たちは国民の休日は、過去60年間で、英国には、アジアと黒の他の少数民族社会への貢献を記念していたのは時間を認識していた時ですか？ Windrushデーの呼び出しが祝日の多様性と文化的アイデンティティを認識するための、マーティンルーサーキングジュニアの日を最後に、1日6月22日選択してください1986.Weで現実になりつつ長時間実行される米国のキャンペーンをエミュレートする際のMV帝国Windrush軽二輪馬車で、1948年にドッキング：現代の文化、英国の上昇の強力な象徴的なシンボルです
