PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL AND BRITON FERRY (27 March 2006)

That this House welcomes the many celebrations of the bicentenary of the birth of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the world's greatest engineers; congratulates volunteers in Briton Ferry who have campaigned to restore the Brunel Dock, its floating gate and tower as major features of a local regeneration project; notes that restoration work will soon begin thanks to funding mainly from the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council; and pays tribute to local schools and colleges for the celebrations they are planning in co-operation with the National Waterfront Museum and the Institution of Civil Engineers.
