Carton factory boxed into corner

With construction slated to begin in early 2007, the plant will employ 50 people and should be launched in 2008. The trouble is, the only road to Prowell's plot is owned by its neighbor, a British Slough Estate (SE) who is reportedly claiming a few million EUR for allowing Prowell access. SE has denied the amount is so high, and claims that it is expecting a reasonable offer from Prowell. Prowell's legal standing in relation to road access is not entirely clear at present, however, a contract with the local authorities does not secure the interests of the gmina of Stryków well enough, giving SE grounds for the claim. Gmina claims it could take administrative steps but is instead waiting for the parties involved to resolve the conflict. The President of SSE has also offered mediation. (Puls Biznesu, p.8) J.L.
