London Borough of Hounslow Council has appointed offsite building specialists, Actavo | Building Solutions, to manufacture and deliver a brand-new, modular, early learning facility to care for children aged 2-3 years. This new early year’s provision is being established as part of the Council’s statutory duty to provide sufficient free early learning and childcare places for disadvantaged 2-year-old children. The new, single-storey facility was manufactured and built by Actavo | Building Solutions in just 11 weeks. The new early year’s centre was completed at the end of December 2016. Comprising a large hall, quiet room, kitchen, bathroom, WCs and staff office, the early year’s facility was built to meet the sustainability assessment that is ‘BREEAM Very Good’. The nursery is sustainable as defined by the ‘triple bottom line’: people, profit, planet. The external of Norwood Green’s new facility has been finished in a brick slip with a covered canopy area. Actavo has delivered a perimeter wall around the facility that will have an electronic gate to maximise safety. Additional facilities also include new bike and buggy stores, as well as a large, grass-crete car park. Modular building methods are proving popular. Matthew Goff, director of UK operations at Actavo | Building Solutions, says: “Modular building methods are proving popular with educators as they wrestle with how best to accommodate pupil influxes. Using offsite construction, projects like Norwood Green Early Years Provision can be completed to tight deadlines and on budget. “Speed and versatility were essential to Norwood Green. They needed permanent space, fast with many modern innovations, which make it both energy-efficient and a delight to be in.”
A grand total of no less than 25 million pounds are set to be devoted to turning Hackney Wick Overground into a brand new and well-functioning location for commuters and business outlets in the vicinity. The architectural firm Landolt Brown has indicated through various pictures made today that the revolutionary new changes to the conditions of the station, such as a rebuilt way into the station and a brand new elevators to allow easier access to the various floors, will make it a much easier place to use for all. The ambitious project will also allow for the rebuilding of staircases and elevators to make it a safer and better place for passengers and individuals working in and around the Hackney area in London. By collaborating closely and diligently over the next few months with the councils of Tower Hamlets and Council, who have already invested 1 million pounds towards the initiative, Network Rail has high hopes that with the help of all of these new schemes the project will finally be complete by next year in 2018. Network Rail are also being supported by the LLDC (or the London Legacy Development Corporation) to vastly ameliorate the state of the station and its facilities. Indeed, David Goldstone of LLDC is delighted that the plans to help the station live up to the expectations of its users will coincide with the increased investments in the Hackney community for building better housing and encouraging businesses to set up shop in the area. Through this, the infrastructure of this particular area of North London will be greatly improved, allowing for better property conditions, better employment opportunities and of course better transport conditions for its locals. Mister Jon Fox of Transport for London also put in a word in for the advancement of Hackney Wick Overground, which will improve the conditions of millions of people from all over the capital.
The amount of companies in the area of Cheshire are going to increasingly benefit from greater internet broadband reception thanks to BT’s pledge to improve connections in the area as part of the internet provider’s “Connecting Cheshire” initiative. With the intention of fully finishing this ambitious and Cheshire-beneficial project by next year in 2018, 90 per cent of 6,000 properties will undoubtedly get better and faster access to the resources provided by the internet, with 5,400 receiving it at an incredible velocity of over 24 megabits per second (Mbps). Mister David Brown, a counselor working for Cheshire East Council, is particularly pleased with what the area and companies in the area in general will benefit from this initiative. Individuals under the council’s leadership will be pleased to see their money being put to greater use by improving their connectivity, since 2014 over 92,000 properties in the area have already benefited from these plans to improve the internet speed in the area. With internet fibre technology being one of the fastest and most innovative forms of internet delivery to areas around the world, the Cheshire area in the Northern part of the United Kingdom will be the new beneficiary of this fast new internet provider. It is hoped that this enthusiasm and commitment towards developing faster internet speed across the Northern regions of the country will boost sales and confidence in investments in the area. This will clearly ensure that more and more businesses in the area will be able to access information much more quickly and will therefore conduct themselves in a more timely and cost-efficient way than ever before and will pave the way for Cheshire as one of the most efficient areas of business in the North of England. With the very reliable support of such individuals as David Brown and the rest of the Cheshire council, the future looks bright for the future of companies that have laid their base in the area.
The Merseyside area of Kirkby (where the original meaning of the expression “a Kirkby kiss” denoted the legendary rough reputation of the locale) has had a fantastic Christmas this year that has injected much-needed enthusiasm into the local infrastructure and economy. A survey and evidence from St. Modwen’s indicates that the area has increased in popularity, as shown initially by the fact that a record number of almost 6,000 people who made it to see the town seasonal fairy lights display switch on in December. This is wonderful news for the population of Kirkby that demonstrates the area’s increasing popularity as a holiday destination and a festive fireball in the Merseyside area that could one day (who knows?) rival the city of Liverpool itself. Similarly, the town metropole’s popularity soared during the Christmas season, with an increase totaling of up to 70 per cent in added “likes” on the Facebook page: if social media popularity isn’t a sure indication of what people truly feel about the town of Kirkby, then I don’t know what is. Indeed, the area’s head honcho, the manager named Mike Matthews, has been ecstatic and boasted that the area has enjoyed an incredibly lucrative and popular time this year’s Christmas, despite the uncertain economic climate that the area and country have been facing over the course of the last few years. Many people turned up in their thousands to revel and witness the fabulous variety of aspects that the town had to offer and this should prove to be an incredibly good sign that the area will progress itself into the future of the post-Brexit economy. Indeed, with such an impressive increased fallout to the town’s main area, hopes are high that the area will increasingly prove to be a vital hub of interest to visitors and explorers of the locations in and around the Mersey.
