Pupils visit Shared Ownership site to learn about site safety

Cradley pupils were recently given a hands-on site safety tour of an upcoming new homes development courtesy of Bromford one of the UK’s largest housing associations, and Countryside Partnerships, part of Vistry Group and the UK’s leading provider of affordable mixed-tenure homes.

14 children aged five to 11 from Caslon Primary School were welcomed to the development just off Park Lane, in Cradley by Project Manager Evroy Allen, to learn more about how homes are built and the importance of safety around building sites.

Two children from each year group, Caslon’s dedicated Wellbeing Warriors, were in attendance with the trip underlining the new homes providers’ commitment to giving back to the communities they operate in.

This is the second community project Bromford has worked with Caslon Primary School on after 20 pupils’ Road Safety Week posters were displayed on the site hoarding around the development.

Park Lane, situated off the B4174, comprises a stunning collection of three-bedroom homes built by Vistry Group’s five-star builder Countryside Partnerships, available through Bromford Shared Ownership.

Lynette Golden-Hough, Headteacher at Caslon Primary School, said: “The pupils at our school really enjoyed visiting the site, and we’re grateful to Bromford for arranging this fantastic experience for children across a variety of ages.

“The site team from Vistry’s Countryside could not have been more welcoming or helpful, and we know that our pupils will benefit greatly from this visit.”

Karen Adams, Sales Manager at Bromford, said: “Giving back to our local communities is so important to us at Bromford, so to have welcomed the children of Cradley to explore one of our development was enriching and rewarding.

“Park Lane is an important development for us, so for the pupils to learn about all of the hard work that goes into making it a great place to live helps to demonstrate the importance of our community projects.”
