LPM Cleaning & Support Services is celebrating the successful achievement of CCAS ISO9001 accreditation across its diverse organisation. The national award is confirmation that LPM, which comprises a number of specialist divisions to cater for specific market sectors including retail, office, transport, public sector, food hygiene and industrial, has successfully brought the whole of its cleaning business together and standardised its operating systems.
Joe Read, Sales & Operations Director at
LPM Cleaning says: “LPM Cleaning was previously made up of three separate businesses, each with a different version of ISO9001 accreditation. These businesses have now been brought under the one LPM Cleaning umbrella and have been accredited with CCAS ISO9001 standard on a Group level. This backs up our ethos of operating nationally, but retaining the local pride of the pre-existing businesses.”

The cost of street cleaning across North Somerset could be cut by £735,000 over the next three years, as proposed by the local council.
A public consultation has got under way over plans to scale back street cleaning and grounds maintenance, which would include tending to flower beds and hanging basket in public areas.
Once the consultation ends, on 25th May 2012, the council will begin a tendering
process for a new contractor to start in April 2013.
The chosen firm will be responsible for grounds, trees, and street cleaning - three areas that were previously delivered by three different contractors.
Since the services will be scaled back to only cover statutory obligations, town and parish councils would have to pay more for extra services such as litter collections after local events, the council has said.

WhAT’S ON?
The sinks were removed when the facilities were recently refurbished, but a small number of the people who use the toilets complained, and wash basins are now to be refitted.
The toilets were handed over to a local trust by South Lakeland Council as part of cost savings and, using advice that alcohol rubs were more hygienic than soap and water, the Bowness

and Windermere Community Care Trust (BWCCT) reopened the toilet block in March.
David Thomas, Chairman of the trust, told press: "The advice was that sanitising gel works as well, if not better than water.
"We have listened to what people have said and we are putting one sink in each of the ladies and the gents, in each of the four toilets we have refurbished.”
Other renovated toilet blocks in the area will also see their sinks return.
