Hartmann says: “We’ve done everything within our powers to
make it an incredible living experience for all people, especially families.” Kendall is characteristically optimistic about the impact.
“Stratford is one of the most deprived areas of the UK,” he says. “The whole area has been through this massive post-war cycle, and it’s been stuck in that situation for quite some time. The ripple effect is going to be a factor in the success.” This project has demonstrated flexibility, drive and determi-
nation, and completed a formidable first lap. It will be interest- ing to see what it has got left in the tank, because this is clearly an endurance event.

177 NEW HI-TECH PUMP LAUNCHED
Launched by HydroForce Pumps Ltd is a brand new clean water pump for rainwater harvesting tanks. Intensive design and development and exhaustive testing have brought about one of the highest quality pumps available on the market and the only one man- ufactured in the UK. With the strapline ‘quality under pressure’, the new HydroForce pump has been designed with a number of important features. Perhaps the most important of these is the alloy bulk-
head, pressure release gap and twin chamber design, which prevents ingress of water to motor, electrical components and to bearing oil, and for which a patent has been applied for. Other key features are that it is pressure sensitive; dry-run protected; and it comes complete with a factory fitted filter and non-return valve.
