Henry Riley appointed to work on £21m Morpeth leisure scheme

Work is gathering pace on two schemes that will transform the Northumberland leisure and lifestyle scene. Henry Riley has been appointed lead consultant on a project to bring a £21m leisure centre to Morpeth. The Newcastle division of the international property and construction consultancy will provide quantity surveying, employer’s agent and principal designer services for the scheme, which will see the creation of a new centre with a 25-metre swimming pool, sports hall, spa facilities, fitness suite and studios. It will also have a new community services hub that will include a library, customer service centre and adult learning area.  Construction work is due to start next year, with the centre open for business in 2021.  Meanwhile, a £20m project to build a new leisure centre in Berwick has been given the green light by planners. The existing Swan Centre is being demolished in phases to ensure continuity of leisure services for local residents and replaced with a new facility with a 25-metre swimming pool, sports hall, an outdoor all-weather football pitch, fitness suite, fitness studios and spa facilities. Construction work is due to start by the end of this year, with the centre operational in 2021. Advance Northumberland, the development arm of Northumberland County Council, is project-managing both schemes supported by Henry Riley and several other key partners.  Both schemes are being funded by the council. Joel Neasham, senior associate at the Newcastle office of Henry Riley – which is also the lead consultant on the Berwick project – said: “We’re delighted to be involved in two schemes that will bring a much-needed boost to Northumberland’s thriving leisure scene. Both centres will have top-quality facilities that will benefit residents of Berwick and Morpeth, as well as those living further afield. “There’s a huge demand for this type of facility as consumers increasingly take up fitness and well-being activities to lead a healthier lifestyle. Health and well-being are important considerations for many people nowadays, so we’re delivering services that make it easier for them to adopt this lifestyle.” Part of the Riley Consulting group of companies, Henry Riley is an international property and construction consultancy that works across the built environment spectrum, offering cost management, project management, health and safety and innovative digital services. The company has worked on various notable projects across the North of England in the health, leisure, retail, commercial, education, residential, industrial and logistics, and transport and infrastructure sectors.

Planning Approved for Manchester Regeneration

Planning Approved for Manchester Regeneration

Manchester City Council has approved planning permission for a £79 million regeneration project. CEG submitted the planning application which is set to transform the gateway site between the High Street and Northern Quarter, and replace a predominantly vacant 1970s building, with a distinctly Mancunian building, drawing on Debenhams and Sunlight House for inspiration. David Hodgson, Head of Strategic Development at CEG, said: “This is an extremely challenging regeneration project on a constrained brownfield site. The resolution has provided the opportunity to transform this rundown building with a bold, confident and distinctly Mancunian building. We are pleased that the committee has acknowledged this and allows CEG to move forward. “CEG has managed investment into Manchester for many years, including the extensive renovation of the historic 196 Deansgate and is transforming Jackson House, now known as M33, in Sale and Altrincham Business Park. We look forward to continuing to work with the City Council to bring forward an exciting new development at High Street. The planning committee process is just the first step in the journey to deliver much-needed regeneration of this key site.” The planning application was prepared by Deloitte on behalf of CEG. Eve Grant, Director at Deloitte Real Estate, said: “With approval of the 20-36 High Street scheme, the city can look towards the delivery of a new landmark building that will create a more coherent link between Manchester’s iconic Northern Quarter and Retail core. Not only will this development positively transform the current look and feel of High Street, but it is set actively revitalise the local townscape whilst contributing to Manchester’s wider environmental, social and economic objectives.” Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the architecture uses light ivory-white glazed ceramic tiles providing a far greater light reflectance onto the street scape than the existing dark brick. The ground floor and a double height mezzanine would offer a vibrant space for independent cafés, restaurants and shops, providing around 65 jobs with 360-homes above. The scheme also reopens the Stationer’s Court to become a tranquil public green space connecting the High Street and the Northern Quarter.

DC Dumpster Trucks – Dumpster Rental Companies in DC Review Companies

Transportation is one of the most important inventions that mankind has ever developed. Aside from the internet, it has also been credited to be one of the proponents of globalization. Even though its scope is not as wide as the internet, it is still very important in a lot of economies and government functions all around the world. We all need them to save time and travel to farther distances. Once we had our feet and animals for transport, but now there are machines that can do the work for us. It has been very important to the development of many businesses and fields of study. How Modern-day Transpo Help Run Society There are many different kinds of transportation, generally divided into which body it travels in the world. We mostly refer to the aerial ones as planes and the sea-based ones as boats or ships, although there are a lot of different terms separating each type of vehicle. However, there are many more types of land-based transportation and all of them have different uses. All of them can traverse considerable distances but each of them can carry only a limited weight. Each country also has their own vehicles that they have developed, and some of them stayed there for good. Read more about them here. Most of us do have cars these days. You can even say that they are already considered a need especially in the cities. In the rural areas, they are also needed but most people can get by through public transportation, hitchhiking, or walking. Some areas still even use horses as transport. However, in the city, having a car is really needed because you need to bring it for work and save time. You might also need to bring your family along with you. Having a car is already considered a very practical decision to buy as it is an investment as well. However, there are times that you might need something far bigger than your car. You may want to start a construction business and there are a lot of things that you want to do. You might have some sand, gravel or cement that you need to dispose or transfer to another location. Also, you may want to store it as well and it can be quite difficult to do it all manually. If all of it is in sacks, then maybe you can do it but it is so much easier if you have a dumpster truck with you. Learn more about dump trucks here: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/construction-equipment-5-great-dump-trucks-844978. What Are Dump Trucks? Dumpster or dump trucks are one of the staple vehicles in any construction site and other locations that need heavy duty vehicles. Each town has its own waste removal companies that help keep the neighborhood organized and clean. A dumpster rental service will place dumpsters in places that are available for everyone so that they can use them instead of dropping trash bags on the pavements. Keeping the neighborhood clean and tidy will also help keep the wildlife from getting stuck in plastic wrappers and boxes, which can lead to species going extinct. You have seen them before probably on films, television shows and even in newspapers. If you haven’t, imagine a really large pickup truck with a really nice function; it can tilt its posterior portion to “dump” or release any of the contents behind it. This is the reason why most construction companies use them for their transportation problems especially with various materials. It can be quite detrimental to the operations if it is still manually done. Now, how can you get this type of vehicle? Well, one of them is through rental. There are so many businesses which offer dumpster rental in DC with competitive prices. You can always contact them through their offices or check out their websites for their other services. There are many kinds of dumpster trucks so you also need to ask which one would fit what you want. Although there is one kind of dump truck that is the most commonly used, you can also choose depending on the size. You may also want to buy one, but we would recommend this one for those who want a long term use. It is important to take note that the dumpster trucks are one of the most notorious for work-related accidents. This is why it is also important to have an insurance policy covering your vehicles. If you are going to acquire it for a business, make sure that your operators have the proper knowledge of driving these vehicles. Additional training may also be needed so that you will have peace of mind while they are operating the dumpster truck.
