Brookvent Launches New Heat Recovery Ventilation Product
Brookvent, based in Dunmurry, has launched a new heat recovery ventilation product.
The firm received research and development support from Invest Northern Ireland.
Commenting on the launch of the aircycle 3.1, Declan Gormley, Brookvent Managing Director, said: "Brookvent has developed a best in class product with unrivalled performance, beating major players to the punch, and setting a new industry standard in heat recovery efficiency. An extremely low specific fan power means a higher cost saving for the end user. With this higher performance specification, Brookvent can continue to service existing domestic and export markets as well as develop new markets further afield."
Invest NI's research and development assistance is part funded by European Regional Development Fund.
SDLP Hits Out At Minister For Failing To Allocate Money To Improve The A1
The Minister for Regional Development has been slammed for failing to put money aside for essential improvement works on the A1 in Northern Ireland.
Four people have been killed on the road in recent months and the SDLP has continued to call for improvements to be made to its safety.
SDLP MLA for Upper Bann Dolores Kelly said: "The Minister for Regional Development told me in the Assembly that she has not set aside any money for it to be carried out. In fact, Michelle McIlveen revealed the design work for this has not even been completed and the Department has yet to conduct the Public Inquiry.
"I do not find it acceptable that six months on from calling for urgent action to be taken to prevent further deaths on this road, work hasn't even begun. Nor am I satisfied with being advised that any funding is dependent on future budget settlements. We know from recent experience that there is no real commitment to investing in our infrastructure. For all the talk of building the A6, only 8 miles outside Randalstown is being upgraded."
Work To Start On £62,000 Improvement Project
Construction work on a £62,000 improvement scheme on the Cotton Road in Donaghadee is to begin on Monday 15 February.
The resurfacing scheme is expected to be substantially completed by the end of February.
Temporary traffic signals will be installed and diversions will be put in place.
Drivers should expect some delays and are advised to leave additional time when travelling in the area.
