Overcoming the Challenges of Borough Council Approval

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council maintains rigorous standards to ensure that all public furniture respects the local character and provides long term value to the community. Navigating the requirements for sustainable timber certification, anti theft anchoring and health and safety compliance can be daunting for families. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms that our Grade A teak is 100% FSC certified and engineered with our extra heavyweight 8 x 8cm profile, proving to the local authority that your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety and durability.
