D.T.Leisure are a Kettering Tarmac company that specialises in the installation of Playgrounds and play areas.

Stanion Play Area
Playtime can be a wonderful opportunity for children to learn to focus their attention and build self-confidence and self-esteem. Children need more and better places to meet their friends and have fun. It has also become a great form of exercise. Play England is now the supporting body for the government’s £235m play investment programme to improve outdoor public play facilities for children. The government strategy, called Fair Play, focuses on encouraging local authorities to prioritise the development of outdoor play facilities and safe play spaces. It is part of the DCMS and the DCSF’s Children’s Plan, which aims to improve the lives of children.
DT Leisure offers a free on-site consultation, together with a detailed survey, bespoke design and installation service. We source the very best in quality play equipment from a variety of leading manufacturers throughout the UK and Europe, ensuring our clients receive variety and flexibility when selecting their chosen play area.
Customer service and support is very important to us and we pride ourselves on our excellent record of customer care and satisfaction. We ensure we work closely with our clients to provide a personal, reliable service to the highest standards of installation and customer satisfaction.

TownsWeb Archiving have helped a number of cemeteries and crematoriums to digitise their archives. In 2007, staff at TownsWeb Archiving helped Dalton Parish Council to place all their burial records online to allow the public to perform genealogy searches. Members of the public can now use the www.stmichaelsdalton.co.uk website to search accross all the cemetery records and also click on links to see any inscriptions, pictures of the headstones and maps showing the location of the grave in the cemetery.
When Lewes District Council had a concern about the safety of their cemetery records, TownsWeb Archiving collected all of the registers and maps and spent two weeks digitising them at their offices in Kettering. During the time that the records were with them, TownsWeb Archiving were happy to perform any record searches upon request from the council staff.
The books at Diss Town Council contain hand-written records that date back over 100 years. With genealogy a growing hobby in the UK, these books were being looked at more and more and the Council were worried that they might be damaged. TownsWeb Archiving scanned all the books and put them on to a CD-ROM so that the council staff can access and print any page without the need to physically get the books out of their safe and secure environment.
TownsWeb Archiving have a number of digitisation solutions for councils and corporate businesses who have old archives that require protecting. Scanning can be done on-site if required ensuring that delicate items are handled with due care. Contact them today on 01536 480015 to discuss your requirements or go online for a free quote.

The new RS toolbar
Electronics and Automation stockists, RS Components, has created and launched a browser toolbar that works for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. With easy access to their product range via a customised search and a browsable menu structure, you shoud find your parts quicker than ever.
There is also the ability to check where your latest RS order has got to with the Parcel Tracker and you can even sync the toolbar with your POP-3 e-mail so it will inform you when you have new mail.
Although RS has previously released software to their customers (the RS CD-ROM) I am still impressed that they have released the toolbar because of all the support and installation issues that can come with it. Overall it looks tidy and well made - and I think it’s work taking a look at.

Another test, and this time I have started a blog on the NorthantsLive site. The idea behind it being thatr the more content I have on this domain, the more likely search engines will think it is a useful directory of information.
I’ll try to regularly write something, but most of the posts will be about businesses that are advertising in the Directory. As always, any comments would be interesting.

HomeSafe Solutions‘ objective is simple: to help you clear 100% of your debt and to help you engineer your finances in such a way that you can live each month within your means.
We are tired of hearing the stories of those with lower incomes and poor credit ratings, having to pay such a high price as they look to resolve their crippling debts.
Ask yourself: why does a 20 year old on £8,000 a year pay 25% APR on a £5,000 loan? Yes, she might struggle to repay this, but on 25% APR THAT’S ALMOST GUARANTEED and she will then incur further default charges along the way. Yet someone on £50,000 a year might get the loan at 6%. HomeSafe address this balance.
