A north west company which provides niche maintenance and cleaning services for commercial property clients is looking to create jobs and expand its market after securing a new deal with Yorkshire Bank.

Founded in 2005, Manchester based High Access Maintenance offers a range of services for high buildings including; roof repairs, gutter maintenance, cladding refurbishment, high pressure washing, and banner installation.

A new customer to Yorkshire Bank, High Access has secured a 500,000 invoice finance facility, which will free up money for use to drive the day-to-day business.

The deal was delivered by Helen Miller, relationship manager at the Banks Business and Private Banking Centre in Manchester.

Niel Bethell, director at High Access Maintenance, said: At a time when were taking our services into new markets its important that our business model is supported by our bank.

At a time when we are approaching our tenth anniversary the company is going from strength to strength and we have every intention of building on our existing momentum.

Our current position would not have been possible without the support of the Yorkshire Bank which has worked closely with our team to help us realise our long term growth plans.

High Access employs 51 full time staff and is on course to increase turnover by 33 per cent, from 3m to 4m in the current financial year, with plans to increase this to 5.8m by 2016.

It is perhaps the drabbest looking shack in one of Britains bleakest spots.

So the 275,000 asking price for this 1950s electricity link station comes as quite a shock.

Built from 1950s yellow brick and with now faded salmon pink tiles cracking on its exterior, the box-like building is also an empty shell inside.

The Link House, which stands on a scrubland at the top of Dungeness beach in Kent, is not far from the power station

DIXON Businesses on Peoria Avenue between Second and Third Streets might want to brace for an uptick in business during the 12th week of the Dixon downtown streetscape project.

That block will be opened to local traffic from the south, restoring access for businesses and properties. Between Second and First streets on Peoria Avenue, work will continue on the Telegraph building vault and adjacent areas.

Much of the work done next week will be on First Street.

The sidewalk work between Hennepin and Galena avenues is slated to be completed. Plants will go into planters, and trees will go into grates. Also on the docket are installation of curbs and gutters, electrical work, and water main connections.

According to the engineering companies:

The intersection of First Street and Peoria Avenue will be closed for part of the week for water main connections. Southbound Peoria Avenue traffic will be detoured around the construction.Once that is completed, the water main work will continue west on First Street to Highland Avenue, resulting in closure of the westbound lane on the north side between Peoria and Highland avenues.

Pavement removal and water service installation will be finished on First Street from Galena to Ottawa avenues, and curb, gutter and sidewalk installation will begin. Curb placement will be staged in front of Fifth Third Bank to allow continual access to the drive-thru.

On First Street from Ottawa to Crawford avenues, pavement installation will continue, and brick pavers will be installed. On Ottawa Avenue from Second to First streets, modular block wall installation will resume.

FLORHAM PARK Officials dream of giving the aging municipal pool a $1M makeover is inching closer to fruition.

Community Services Director Carl Ganger said Tuesday that the borough would accept bids for the work at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5.

The contract will be awarded sometime after that, possibly in September.

Borough Councilman William Zuckerman, the councils liaison to Gangers group, called the pending project exciting.

This is going to be exciting, he said Tuesday. Well be fixing a 50-year-old pool weve never done much with. Better, were using no taxpayer money for the work.

An ordinance allowing the borough to issue $950,000 in bond anticipation notes for the work was adopted in the spring. The remaining $50,000 will be taken from the boroughs capital improvement fund as down-payment.

Zuckerman said the work would begin soon after the contract is awarded, with the pool ready for the 2015 season.

Besides a new snack bar, improvements will include a new one-half meter dive stand with a 10-foot diving board, sand blasting the pools shell and the application of a new pool shell finish with swimming lane lines, installation of handicap lift chairs that are ADA compliant, a pressure testing pool, new concrete deck around the pool with an underground deck drainage system, and installation of a steel gutter circulation system with a surge tank to maximize rim flow gutter control.

Officials have wanted to upgrade the pool for some time.

A few years ago, now former Councilman David Wikstrom polled residents on whether the pool should have such extensive work performed. The job, however, was never done.

Workers began mobilization of the $2 million project this week.

"The DDA project will have two distinct segments the 168th/Johnson intersection, which must be completed by Aug. 29 so as not to impact (Grand Haven school) bus transports, Township Manager Bill Cargo said, and the remaining portion, which must be completed by Oct. 31 to ensure the (asphalt) plants are still open.

The project includes complete reconstruction of the street surface, installation of stormwater curb and gutter systems, and other improvements. A new water main will also be installed beneath the roadway, as the township plans to replace 4,300 feet of 12-inch, cast-iron pipe.

Township officials said early on in the process that the overall scope of work would be similar to what the City of Grand Haven did for recent improvements along Beechtree Street.

Cargo said the schedule for the first segment the 168th/Johnson intersection is as follows:

Mobilization: this week through Aug. 4 Removals: Aug. 5-6 Storm sewer work: Aug. 7-13 Earth work and grading: Aug. 14-18 Concrete work: Aug. 19-21 New aggregate base: Aug. 22-26 Asphalt paving with markings: Aug. 27-29

YOUNGSTOWN

A team of architects and engineers estimates it will cost Mahoning County more than $8.1 million to restore its 103-year-old county courthouse.

That figure includes $5.4 million worth of architectural and structural repairs; $620,000 to replace the roof; and $184,000 to load, ship, restore and return the copper rooftop statues from storage to the courthouse, for a total of $6,204,000.

Contingency costs for unforeseen circumstances raise the total to $8,141,000.

The figures were contained in a report presented Thursday to the county commissioners by a 10-member architectural and engineering team.

The tentative project schedule calls for advertising for bids late this year and using the entire 2015 construction season, with the work possibly extending into 2016.

The restoration presents an extraordinary opportunity to breathe new life into a magnificent architectural monument and preserve the legacy of Mahoning County, and make the building safe, with the aim of prolonging its useful life for many generations to come, the report said.
