“Sick” money-saving idea sees pool heated by crematorium

Redditch Borough Council has come up with a new way to save on their electricity bills. A recent proposal sees the council planning to heat the Abbey Stadium Sports Centre by using the excess heat generated by the crematorium, situated next door.

The council claims that such a move would save £14,500 a year but opponents of the scheme slam it as being “sick and eerie”.

Simon Thomas, a funeral director in the town, says: “I think it will cause uproar and may even put people off using the facilities which would lose the council money. It just doesn’t feel right.”

However, council leader Carole Gandy says it will make no difference to the people who use the crematorium for services. A public meeting will be held to discuss the matter before it comes up again at the council’s executive committee.

Client feedback

Winston’s were well reviewed when I was searching for a solicitors to use for my first house purchase. As a first time buyer I had little knowledge of the process but Michelle at Winston’s was excellent and helped me through every step of the way. I would highly recommend Winston’s to anyone looking for solicitors for a house move!

Michelle was brilliant. During a time that can be stressful (buying a house), Michelle continually kept me updated, she responded to any emails very quickly and was very thorough. I’d highly recommend Michelle I will definitely be using Winston Solicitors again.

My husband and I finally got around to having wills written via the charity scheme (St Gemma's). Emily was great at talking us through the options, answering our queries and setting this up professionally, personably and in a timely manner. I would recommend Winstones to others and would use them again for any legal work we may require in the future.

My situation is fairly straightforward with a couple of areas on which I needed a bit of advice. The solicitor was very helpful at explaining the possible options. The process was thorough and executed in a timely way.
