“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.

I was dreading the probate process after my husband sadly died earlier this year. Friends who had been in the same situation warned me it could take months or even years. I didn't even know what it involved, it was a complete mystery to me!Thank good ness for Emily Spencer at Winston solicitors who talked me through the whole process and told me what information I needed to complete the paperwork. Emails and phone queries were answered very promptly and once I'd submitted all the figures the grant of probate was applied for by Emily and was returned within a few weeks, not months! Great result and nothing like the trauma I was anticipating.

We used Winston's (Samantha) for our house sale & purchase. Very impressed with her dealings with us, keeping us up to date with progress and always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Colleagues who asisted her, were equally helpful. Would have no hesitation in using them again or recommend the firm. First class service.

I cannot recommend Winston's highly enough. My case in question was extremely long, convoluted and complex. Yet Winston's and in particular Harriet Reid and Emily Bell, proved to be more than up to the task. Sticking to and sifting through the facts and presenting the evidence, despite volumes of irrelevant information being thrown at them. The results achieved in court, were a true testament to their skill dedication, knowledge and understanding of the subject at hand.
