Minimise Disruption
We’re committed to managing the impact of the construction works so that disruption to the local area is kept to a minimum. A ‘Site Environmental Management Plan’ for the site has been approved by Westminster City Council and both John F Hunt and Mace will ensure compliance with this document.
This plan outlines how our construction works will take place as well as what mitigations will be put in place to minimise the impact on the local community during the works. This includes site operating hours, noise and vibration mitigation measures and monitors and how the traffic will be managed to and from site.
Throughout the construction process we will also ensure that the local community has access to the latest information on the key works taking place through regular updates, so that you can get in touch with any questions or to raise any issues relating to the construction works. We are also available to meet with you when requested to talk through the works and any queries or concerns.
Dedicated Construction Neighbourhood Liaison Manager
John F Hunt has appointed a dedicated Construction Neighbourhood Liaison Manager to honour our commitment to minimise disruption for local residents, businesses and people who work and visit the area.
The Construction Neighbourhood Liaison Manager is working with all contractors on site, ensuring that neighbours are kept regularly updated and will respond promptly to any issues or questions that arise.
