CONSIDERATE CONSTRUCTORS IN LEDBURY

As part of our voluntary commitment to the national Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), we have successfully completed a range of local commitments with a view to giving back to the community, as well as keeping local residents updated with developments and maintaining open dialogue.

These CCS activities include:

• Sponsorship of Ledbury Young Farmers Frog Racing Fundraising Evening (Aug 2011)
• Twenty SM employees taking to the streets on a float for Ledbury Carnival (Aug 2011 + attached photo)
• Community open evening to explain how works would be managed to minimise impact on local residents.
• Fortnightly project update to the Town Council offices
• Project blog to display updates www.ledburymastershouse.blogspot.com
• Confirmed meeting with John Masefield High School to discuss educational opportunities for students and local primary feeder schools such as assemblies, lesson activities and visits to site
• Letters to Ledbury High Street residents and nearby residents to explain the management of works
• Questionnaire to local businesses and residents to assess if works are being managed successfully and if other action can be taken to minimise disruption
• Design and build of a pergola for local charity Salter’s Hill to enable gardening workshops to continue during winter months
• Paid employment of two Salter’s Hill adults (local charity) with learning difficulties to clean the site accommodation and provide independent skills opportunities
