Stockport Property Alliance Community Update
Carillion Building’s Newsletter for
Arden Primary School Project
January 15
Dear Parent, Carer and
Resident,
Welcome to the first Carillion News Letter for Arden Primary School of
2015. We hope and trust that you have all had a restful Christmas and
we would take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for 2015.
The site progress since the last News Letter has been difficult due to
the discovery of cement board Asbestos in the external play area fill
material under the existing Tarmac finish. Carillion has worked closely
with Stockport council environmental health team and the HSE and
have now removed this material from the site.
This project is registered with the
Considerate Constructors Scheme
and we have now installed CCS
banners and contact details on the
site perimeter fencing
The site team will continue to comply
with
the
scheme’s
Code
of
Considerate Practice, covering the
following key issues:
• Care about appearance
• Respect Community
• Protect Environment
• Secure everyone's safety
• Value their work force
Further detailed information on the
scheme can be found at:
www.ccscheme.org.uk
Please feel free to come to the site
offices or use the telephone numbers
to contact site management if you
have any queries or concerns.
The site offices are open Monday to
Friday 7.30am to 6.00pm and, on
occasion Weekends 7.30am to
2.00pm by arrangement
Looking forward into 2015 we will be recommencing construction
works to complete the foundations in order to commence installation
of Structural steel and Pre-cast concrete floor and roof planks.
Carillion are currently planning the section 50 works to the site
entrance from Stockport Road West. Section 50 works are works in
the highway and in this case will be in Stockport rd west. This will
involve temporary traffic lights and traffic management which will be in
place until the works are complete. Once the plans are in place and
commencement date agreed with the local authority we will advise
our neighbours of the start date and the likely period of the works.
Carillion will be looking at programme recovery going forward and will
be looking for opportunities within the programme to recover some of
the time lost to ensure the School is completed on the agreed date.
As stated in the previous News letter Carillion's good neighbour policy
is at the forefront of every action we take and our staff and operatives
will be considerate to our neighbours at all times.
We trust that we have demonstrated since the start of the project that
we have listened and acted upon any concerns raised by our
neighbours and we will continue to do so throughout 2015.
We appreciate your co-operation during our works and any guidance
you provide to help us minimise the impact we make on your lives will be
gratefully received. If you have any concerns or complaints with regard
to the construction project I am happy to take your call at any time on
the mobile number given below:

Progress so far ...
Commencing works in September on what is essentially a green field site in a heavy populated community
comes with significant challenges and we trust that you will agree that Carillion has met these challenges
well and shown real commitment to working closely with the community and our neighbours to ensure all
concerns are addressed.
Progress has been made difficult so far because of discovery of cement board Asbestos under the Schools
external play area tarmac. Carillion in liaison with Stockport Council environmental health team have now
excavated and removed this material from site and following removal; work has now recommenced on
installation of foundations in preparation for delivery of structural steel in late January 15.

Engaging the Workforce of the Future
The Carillion team are now working with
the Schools and supporting them where
possible with the curriculum.
Carillion's has now met with the school to
offer potential opportunities for the
construction of the works to interface with
the curriculum
Supporting the Community.
Carillion have a proud history of working
with local apprenticeship schemes and
our own training skills training services to
provide work placements for young
people in joinery, electrical and plumbing
work skills.
We also have students on site to work
with the site team learning site
administration and quantity surveying
duties in preparation for life in the work
place.
Engaging with the children
In October Carillion in liaison with the
considerate constructor scheme
organised for Ivor Goodsite to visit Arden
Primary School’s Key Stage 1 children. It
was very clear from the reaction of the
children that Ivor was a great success
and Carillion's message on the dangers
of playing on building sites was well
received.
