Children at Lincoln Mount Street School have been learning about the importance of health and safety on building sites from Miller Homes East Midlands.

Fifteen year one and two pupils from the school attended a special health and safety talk from Miller Homes East Midlands production director Malcolm Ceney at their local Miller Homes development, Deansleigh.

Malcolm commented: "Building sites may look like exciting places, but they definitely aren't a suitable place to play. We try and do as much work in the communities surrounding our developments as possible and invite as many local schools as we can for supervised building site tours."

With an outstanding safety record and some of the safest construction sites in the UK, the award-winning housebuilder is well placed to educate youngsters about potential hazards, helping families across the region enjoy a risk-free school holidays.

"Our building sites are all well-secured to deter trespassers and keep members of the public safe. However, we believe it is important to hold health and safety sessions with local schools as they're a great way for children to learn about the safe construction of new homes and how a building site is managed," added Malcolm.

Located in a leafy residential neighbourhood on the northern edge of Lincoln, Deansleigh is in a prime location close to a number of leisure facilities and popular schools. The development boasts picturesque views of Lincoln Cathedral and benefits from being surrounded by green space. With just a 15-minute walk to the city centre and in close proximity to the A46 and major rail routes, Deansleigh is the ideal choice for anyone looking to commute to the rest of the East Midlands.
