WELLINGTON’S PRIDE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH HELP FROM BRETT LANDSCAPING

In-depth technical advice and bespoke design solutions from independent paving manufacturer Brett Landscaping helped a local council with part of a £35m programme of works to keep neighbourhoods safe, clean and well connected.

As part of the wider four-year scheme, Telford and Wrekin Council had made a £450,000 commitment to residents in Wellington to make their town centre more attractive, more accessible and safer for pedestrians.

Major redevelopment of Market Street, Wellington, started in October www.brettlandscaping.co.uk

2022 with the first phase completed before Christmas. The work included pavement resurfacing, widening the footpath, replacing all kerbs and installing new drainage, which improved the aesthetics and accessibility while still maintaining a one-way street with parking/loading provision.

Brett Landscaping’s specialist team offered extensive advice on the technical elements of the project in the planning stage and Telford Council specified Brett’s Invicta block paving for the project.

Invicta’s unique Aggtech surface layer provides a hardwearing surface for the high volume of pedestrians that travel through the town centre while retaining its vivid colours. Invicta Pearl (60mm) block paving was used in conjunction with Onyx 80mm pavers – all of the Invicta colour schemes complement each other but can also provide demarcation.

Brett Landscaping’s design teams then produced bespoke cross sections for the installation of the drainage channel block and its integration with the road kerbs. The channels run from the shopfronts to the conservation kerb; at the downpipe positions from the rooftops and acted as a demarcation and rigid lateral restraint across the footpaths. This required bedding in mortar to take up the differences in the depth of the blocks.

All Brett’s concrete block paving is manufactured to comply with British Standards for all physical performance ratings, BREEAM ratings, sustainability credentials and responsible sourcing certifications.

BURG-WÄCHTER’S SECURE COMMUNITIES SCHEME DOES ITS BIT FOR FOODBANK

At a time of cost-of-living rises and fuel poverty, Burg-Wächter UK’s ‘Secure Communities Scheme’ is providing a much-needed boost for a foodbank and coastal discounted food shop. The security specialist received a moving plea for help from Wells Foodbank and Coastal Community Supermarket for the free-of-charge security support that the Secure Communities Scheme affords. As a result, Burg-Wächter donated a cash deposit safe featuring electronic locks plus three combination locking bolts. Burg-Wächter launched the scheme in recognition of the fact that people around the country who are doing their bit for their community should not have to worry about the security of their premises, equipment or storage areas.
