Towering inferno?

Public relations people try and get our attention in a variety of ways, from the humble press release through the slap-up lunch to the glitzy corporate jolly.

We remain, of course, aloof to such inducements, but given the amount of stuff coming in our direction, we appreciate those who try something different.

So step forward the Landmark Information Group, provider of Sitecheck, the market-leading (so they say) environmental report for commercial property conveyancers.

They took the innovative step of just doing what they are good at and sent us an environmental report for Gazette Towers themselves.

Readers will be relieved to learn that we do not sit on contaminated land, while this part of London is neither a brine compensation area nor affected by coal mining.

Even better, we learnt that no radon protection measures are necessary, although - rather worringly - there do seem to be rather a lot of places in the vicinity holding radioactive materials.

But before you instigate procedures to touch your Gazette with rubber gloves, the report assures us that these materials are at least non-nuclear.
