Cambridgeshire homebuilders team up with Santa's helper to promote 'elf' and safety this Christmas

While students may be on holiday, Barratt and David Wilson Homes' construction teams will continue working on new housing developments across Cambridgeshire. To keep children in nearby areas safe, it's crucial they remember to steer clear of building sites.

In fact, Santa himself has entrusted one of his elves to step away from the workshop and visit Barratt and David Wilson Homes' sites in Cambridgeshire. Like every visitor, the elf is equipped with a hi-vis vest and hard hat to set a good example and encourage children to stay on Santa's nice list by keeping safe and steering clear of construction areas.

Tom Wright, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes, said: “Children are naturally curious and love to explore, so when they are out playing in the local area, it’s essential we remind them to play responsibly and avoid construction sites.

“Building sites can be hazardous, so with Santa’s little helper on board, we're hoping to encourage everyone in our communities to prioritise their 'elf’ and safety this Christmas.”

Barratt and David Wilson Homes often organise site visits and safety talks throughout the year for schools near its developments, aiming to promote site safety and raise awareness about the dangers of playing on or near construction sites.
