Pupils from Wellington Place Primary School received an important lesson in how to stay safe around a building site during a visit from homebuilder Taylor Wimpey

With construction underway at its Wellington Place development in Market Harborough, representatives from Taylor Wimpey led an informative talk about the potential dangers of a live development and the importance of site safety.

Commenting on the visit, Cressida Knox, Headteacher at Wellington Place Primary School, said: “We would like to thank Taylor Wimpey for speaking to our pupils on this important topic. It was a highly informative visit, and the children now have a much clearer understanding of the risks involved with construction sites and how to stay safe.”

Ollie Machell, Production Manager at Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, said: “Children can be curious about activity on a building site so it’s vital that they understand the potential risks and how to keep themselves safe. The pupils at Wellington Place Primary School were brilliant and I hope our talk provided them with an important lesson in site safety.”
