Caia Park

Caia Park is a local government community, the lowest tier of local government, part of Wrexham County Borough in Wales. It was created in 1985 after a boundary commission review along with four other community areas within the town. At the 2001 census, the community had a population of 11,882 in 5,019 households.

History

The majority of the community area is occupied by the Caia Park (formerly Queen's Park) development of local authority housing. Located in between Acton, Hightown and Rhosnesni in the south-east of Wrexham, this is the largest housing estates in Wales. Much of the estate was laid out in the early 1950s to plans by influential town planner and architect Gordon Stephenson.

The area early on developed a reputation for social problems, and was one of two areas, along with Marseilles in France, studied in this connection by the sociologist Patricia Elton Mayo (daughter of George Elton Mayo).

Today

According to the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, the Caia Park and Queensway wards of Caia Park community are two of the 100 most deprived areas in Wales (the 5 wards that make up Caia Park are Cartrefle, Smithfield, Queensway, Whitegate and Wynnstay). The area is now part of the Welsh Assembly's Communities First project.

Park (Wolverhampton ward)

Park ward is a ward of Wolverhampton City Council, West Midlands. It is located to the west of the city centre, and covers parts of the suburbs Bradmore, Compton, Finchfield, Merridale, Newbridge and Whitmore Reans. It borders the St Peter's, Graiseley, Merry Hill, Tettenhall Wightwick and Tettenhall Regis wards. It forms part of the Wolverhampton South West constituency.

Its name comes from the fact that two of the city's main parks, West Park and Bantock Park, lie within its boundaries. The ward also contains the Chapel Ash conservation area and also the Parkdale conservation area. Some other interesting architecture can be seen within the ward, particularly on the Tettenhall Road, such as first Mayor of Wolverhampton, George Thorneycroft's House. Two of the city's main thoroughfares are contained largely within the ward, namely the A41 Tettenhall Road and the Compton Road (A454. The Halfway House on Tettenhall Road was formerly a coaching house on the London to Holyhead route and as the name suggests, was the half way point. It was a pub for many years but is currently (2009) closed and for sale.

952 Caia

952 Caia, provisional designation 1916 Σ6₁, is a large carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 82 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Soviet–Russian astronomer Grigory Neujmin at the Crimean Simeiz Observatory on 27 October 1916.

The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 2 months (1,887 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.25 and an inclination of 10 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.

Two photoelectric light-curve observations from 1980 rendered a rotation period of 7.50 and 7.51 hours, while a more recent light-curve analysis in 2004 gave a period of 7000379500000000000♠3.795±0.001 hours (or half the previously determined period) with a very low brightness variation of 0.03 in magnitude, which typically indicates a nearly spheroidal shape. According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid has a diameter between 81.6 and 88.8 kilometers and a low albedo in the range of 0.040 and 0.056. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link agrees with the spaced-based observations and derives an albedo of 0.051 with a corresponding diameter of 81.5 kilometers.
