Countryside Properties', In Partnership Division has been selected by the Considerate Constructors Award Panel to receive a 2003 National Award for both the Whitmore Estate in Hackney and for the Greenwich Millennium Village.
These prestigious Awards – 'Site of Sites,' Gold, Silver and Bronze are presented only to the top 7.5% of monitored sites.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme, which seeks to improve the image of construction and raise the industry standards, is a voluntary code of practice, which aims to:-
- Minimise any disturbance or negative impact (in terms of noise, dirt and inconvenience) sometimes caused by construction sites to the immediate neighbourhood.
- Eradicate offensive behaviour and language from construction sites.
- Recognise and reward the constructor's commitment to raise standards of site management, safety and environmental awareness beyond statutory duties.
Countryside In Partnership operates the Considerate Constructors Scheme on every site and in addition to this code of practice they operate their own Codes of Conduct, which were established in association with their Residents Focus Group. Countryside ensures that all work is carried out with due consideration for local residents, workers, pedestrians, visitors, neighbouring occupiers, businesses and other road used and in a manner that will minimise disturbance.
