Considerate Builders Scheme
On an average day, more than 600 building projects are under way in Westminster. This is a sign of a healthy, developing City but these activities can also disturb and inconvenience residents, businesses and passers-by.
The City Council encourage builders to take pride in their sites, and to ensure the development proceeds without making life unpleasant for those who live and work nearby. This is particularly important for people in wheelchairs or with other mobility difficulties, and for blind and partially sighted people.
The City Council requests that companies carrying out works in Westminster follow the following principles:
- Be considerate
- Be quiet
- Be clean
- Be tidy
- Be safe
- Be responsible
- Be accountable
- Keep people informed
- Faciliate good and appropraite conditions for site workers
Important news: The Considerate Builders Scheme is currently under review. Whilst this review is in progress it is recommended that companies visit the national Considerate Contractors scheme at www.ccscheme.org.uk/ where advice on good working practice is available.
