Carter steps up to assist with legionella outbreak


A Birmingham firm has stepped in to help an Essex leisure centre which was forced to close after deadly Legionella bacteria was found at its premises. The discovery was made at


Walton-on-the-Naze Lifestyles, where one person was rushed to hospital for treatment. Tests showed that Legionella


bacteria was present in the showers at the centre, which is run by Tendring District Council. The centre was immediately closed following the incident. After this, Tendring sought help


from Birmingham-based Carter Environmental Engineers, to resolve the problem. The Lawley Middleway firm has


been involved in the water cooling and air pollution control industry for a century, and is one of the UK’s leading providers of water-cooling towers and dust extraction systems. Carter managing director Andy


Bews said: “Tendring District Council asked the compliance division of Carter Environmental Engineers Ltd to attend Walton- under-Naze Lifestyles Leisure

to the request a full survey was completed and a report was issued with recommendations to rectify the situation.”

parts of the hot and cold water system at the centre, and the installation of a new disinfection system on the incoming mains cold water. Mr Bews added: “The above


works, with the exception of the remaining service visits, have been completed and satisfactory results are now being achieved all under the close scrutiny of the council. “As a result of the professional


approach at Walton, we have been asked to provide risk assessment services at other council-run leisure facilities, and that we continue to work closely with Tendring District Council in re-defining their Legionella control policy.” According to the National Health


Service, the Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, which can lead to severe infection of the lungs or kidneys, or even death. The NHS confirmed that the best


way to prevent an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease was to ensure that any water system was properly maintained and conformed to relevant regulations.

Wheels keep turning for CWC


A Midland-based motorcycle wheel maker is celebrating its 120th anniversary. The company is Central Wheel


Components Ltd (CWC), which has been run by the same family since it was founded in 1897. Based in Station Road, Coleshill,


the company says it has built wheels for every motorbike maker that has existed. The company’s Richard Hoyland


said: “CWC may not have invented the wheel, but we have built and restored it many times since its inception. In fact, since we started in 1897, we’ve built motorcycle wheels for every motorcycle – from Adler to Zundapp. “We currently produce all the


spokes for Norton Motorcycles and we rebuild all the spoked wheels for The National Motorcycle Museum and Sammy Miller Museum. Both museums use CWC because of their requirement for the highest quality workmanship.” CWC was also a major supplier


to one of the world’s most famous motorbike makers, Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. From 1998 until 2007, CWC supplied the company with around a thousand spoked wheels each week.
