Furthermore the Wolf Radio Station have now picked up on the story and have published a news article on there website.

Finally we have recived coverage on a specialist Bridge and Engineering website. Please see the link below

Johnson Design Partnership is proud to have achieved 100% success rate on all of their recent Planning submissions. Matt Spinks said that projects range from Grand Designs to Public Houses and Engineering facilities and all of them have involved carefully considering the existing context and meticulously creating designs which the clients wanted.

By Vic Johnson of Johnson Design Partnership, Low Town, Bridgnorth A few of our clients are currently very interested in installing eco orientated heating or electricity generation devices into their homes. It’s an excellent idea, especially for those of us keen to ‘think green’ in terms of our homes.

However, it is worth bearing in mind that the payback on electricity generating photovoltaics still appears to be several years but solar heating pays for itself very quickly especially when you take up some of the grants that are on offer. If you have a swimming pool then there should be no question at all – get a solar heating system installed and save loads on the heating bills! I really like the way some of the solar collectors actually look, but I guess this is an acquired taste.

Average household heating bills comprise at least 70 per spent on heating rooms and heating water. Any eco-orientated householder should look at installing solar water heating as a priority – and it does require plumbing and heating experts to size, install and balance the system correctly.

The systems use radiation from the sun to heat water in a panel often sited on the roof which in turn can supply that heat as hot water or to run a central heating system If the system has been sized correctly, it can provide at least 40 to 60 per cent of all your hot water requirements throughout the year and it’s worth considering that the average domestic system reduces carbon dioxide emissions by around 400kg per year.

Some suppliers are now offering to site a photovoltaic (PV) panel next to a solar panel, which will generate electricity that can be used to power the solar heating pump. It’s all interesting stuff – and what could be better than saving money on fuel bills whilst also doing your bit to save the planet?

A group of Bridgnorth-based architects has come up with the concept and dubbed it the “Wolves Bridge”, saying it would be ideal for supporters heading to and from Molineux. They believe the structure would cost between £1million and £2m and funding has yet to be found. But the firm, Johnson Design Partnership, say they are considering putting in a planning application to Wolverhampton City Council and are keen to know what people think of the idea.

The planned bridge is currently golden-coloured in a reflection of Wolves colours, but this is subject to change as the design is still at the concept phase.

Associate architect Matt Spinks is involved in the design. The 29-year-old lifelong Wolves fan said the idea was for the bridge to seem like it was “floating” across Ring Road St Peter’s. He said he felt it could offer an alternative for fans making their way to Molineux. “I always park the other side of the city centre to go to the ground,” he said today. “We just thought Wolverhampton needed something iconic that would put it on the map and help the supporters who can’t get to the subway to cross a busy road safely. “We are not trying to take people away from using the subway – it could be used to divide home and away fans.” He said the design had already been put onto Wolves supporter websites and he felt the general consensus had been positive.

Councillor Neville Patten, leader of Wolverhampton City Council, said: “Quite honestly, I think it’s a brilliant idea. It would open up that part of town and make life easier for a lot of Wolves fans.”

Wolves spokesman Matt Grayson said: “We’re always willing to listen to new ideas.”
