Landscaping, Recreation, Leisure & External Works Charcon Introduces Andover Range Extensions Charcon, the commercial hard landscaping division of Aggregate Industries, has introduced six new shades to its popular Andover Washed concrete block paving range. In response to increased demand from specifiers and contractors for contemporary colour options, three new grey shades – Light, Mid and Dark Grey – have been added to complement the existing Andover range. The collection has been strengthened with the addition of three bespoke shades – Pink Granite, Heather Porphyry and Tuscan Porphyry – which were designed specifically for Leicester’s Greyfriars Conservation Area, ahead of the reinternment of King Richard III in 2015. The new shades have extended the Andover Washed range from two standard colour options – Silver Grey and Anthracite Charcoal – to eight complementary shades. Each of the new shades are available in all Andover’s standard size options. Notts Sport’s New Practice Area Wins High Praise At Leicestershire CCCI Solispost Illuminated Bollard Gets Even Brighter Notts Sport, the world’s leading supplier of synthetic cricket surfacing systems, has recently resurfaced Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s indoor training facilities to provide a bespoke solution that’s been a winner with players and coaches alike. The work has seen the three-lane practice area in the Mike Turner Cricket Centre at Grace Road transformed, with the former synthetic carpet – which had been laid over concrete – removed and replaced with NottsTurf Indoor top surface installed over NottsPad Indoor shockpad base for enhanced performance. The Notts Sport facility provides a much more consistent and realistic performance in terms of bounce and pace – that’s according to those who’ve used it, from youngsters through to the pros. Lewis Hill, Leicestershire wicketkeeper and batsman, says: “It’s been fantastic. It is key for us as professional sportsmen to practise on a quality wicket and this is certainly a quality facility to use.
