    Dan Gardner wanted to know when to go to the loo during films - so he built an app
    The developer of RunPee, Dan Gardner, the app that tells cinemagoers the best time to take a loo break, on what makes a good 'peetime' and how the program helped him meet his wife

    reated out of personal necessity by North Carolina-based developer Dan Gardner during a near three-and-a-half-hour King Kong screening, RunPee is an app that tells film audiences the best times to nip to the loo.

    RunPee CEO and founder, Dan Gardner poses for a portrait at a movie theater in Asheville, North Carolina on Monday, September 18, 2023. RunPee is an app that was developed by Gardner and his wife to let movie goers know when the best time is to take a bathroom break during a movie.

  • 'Most of our children live in flats': London park boarded up by developers

    'Most of our children live in flats': London park boarded up by developers
    Peabody yet to restore park after finishing construction work in 2020, leaving children with no green space.

    Families in south London are demanding that an award-winning developer reopens a park that was boarded up in 2018 for the construction of new homes.

    Hatcham Gardens sits in a densely built part of Lewisham next to a school and surrounded by flats. Peabody was given permission by Lewisham council to close the park temporarily for use during construction.

    The homes in the Pomeroy development - most of them for private sale - were finished in 2020 and people moved in during spring 2021 but the park is still boarded up.

    A boarded up playground which has been closed to the public since a house building company took control of the land six years ago. Peabody, the company, used the land while building adjacent flats and have repeatedly promised to replace the playground it but somehow never get round to it.
    Members of the local community want their playground back for their children to play in.

  • 'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
    DUKAS_144735974_EYE
    'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
    Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.

    Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.

    But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.

    It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.

    Looking across the East Float dock in Birkenhead, part of the Wirral Waters development on the banks of the river Mersey. Wirral Waters will form part of the Liverpool City Region Freeport, which was announced recently by the Conservative government.

    'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
    Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.

    Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.

    But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.

    It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.

    But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.

    It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.

    A road under construction at Parkside, a joint venture between commercial property developers Langtree and St Helens Council, which aims to transform the derelict Parkside colliery site located on the south-eastern edge of Newton-le-Willows, into a new employment park. The development will form part of the Liverpool City Region Freeport, which was announced recently by the Conservative government.

    'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
    Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.

    Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.
