Housebuilders Barratt and David Wilson Homes warn of dangers of building sites

Housebuilders have issued a warning about the dangers of playing on building sites.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes say housing developments might seem attractive to explore but can be extremely unsafe.

Mark Cotes, managing director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Midlands, said: “While we do watch out for youngsters during the day and secure our developments at night, we would like to ask parents to ensure the safety of their children during the holidays, especially if they live near an active building site.”

The developers company host site visits for children when possible, as well as conducting regular safety talks in schools to encourage site safety and bring awareness to the dangers of it.

Barratt Homes North Midlands has current ongoing building sites in a range of locations in Nottinghamshire, including at Romans’ Quarter in Bingham, Fernwood Village in Fernwood,

David Wilson Homes North Midlands are also building at Thoresby Vale in Edwinstowe and Old Mill Farm in Brinsley.
