New homes developments under construction may look like exciting places to explore, but the developer is warning children and their parents that they can be extremely hazardous.

 

Simon Wood, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Eastern Counties, said: “Developers like ourselves are building more new homes at sites all over the country, but until they are completed these places can be dangerous.

 

“Whilst 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.”

 

Barratt and David Wilson Homes hosts site visits for local children when possible, and holds regular safety talks for schools close to wherever it is building to encourage site safety and highlight the hazards of playing on or near construction sites.

 

Barratt Homes Eastern Counties is currently building a range of properties in Essex at its High Elms Park development in Hullbridge.

 

David Wilson Homes Eastern Counties is also building in the area at the following developments: Corinthian Place in Burnham-on-Crouch, High Elms Park in Hullbridge, Riverside Grange in North Fambridge and Mortimer Place in Hatfield Peverel.
