Street Furniture News

The way we use outdoor public spaces varies hugely and is usually determined by the site’s core purpose. Users of a transport interchange will, for example, use the facility in a very different way to those who use the outdoor spaces at a business park or on a university campus.

On Friday 19th May the Bailey Street Furniture Group will be walking for Charity. Our chosen charity is Trees for Cities which aims to improve air quality and the lives of people living in cities across the country. Trees for Cities have already planted over 1.5 million trees. Our aim is to raise £1,500 for Trees for Cities which could plant 250 trees!

Being an innovative and young group of established companies, it has always been our vision since our foundation in 2014 to have a significant impact on the outside living environment.

There are many innovations for concrete underway, researchers are generating possibilities for this important building material and striving to find its place within a greener manufacturing future.

Concrete is a versatile material. It can be 3D printed, cast in a factory or in slip form. Concrete can take on many forms and is highly versatile. It can be curved and textured, shaped and smooth, polished or rough. Endless design possibilities!

In the current era of ‘green construction’, many are questioning our use of materials in manufacturing and design and asking how sustainable concrete really is? Our country in particular is held together with concrete, our schools, our homes and our infrastructure, all rely heavily and sometimes solely on concrete.

The cost of living crisis is at the forefront of everyone’s minds. For those who may not be choosing between ‘heating and eating’ but do need to budget, giving up their expensive gym membership may be a necessity. So what’s the solution to maintaining a healthy life and purse?

The most popular fitness trend of 2021 was outdoor exercise with almost 60% of adults choosing the outdoors as their primary way to stay fit. 40% of gym members swapped the mirrors for the park and the home fitness market grew by almost 50%.

Bailey Street Furniture Group are pleased to be a part of the innovative future of product design produced from our Spanish Partner, Fábregas. They have developed their new Roma Litter Bin, made entirely from high-density polyethylene which is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. 

The recent pandemic has forced us to reinvent many aspects of our lives and despite the lack of recent guidelines from the government the reality of the situation has left us more cautious, still working from home and addressing previously ignored health issues. During this time of re-evaluation many new fitness trends have emerged.
