Wearing hard hats and hi vis gear, the young visitors from Llantarnam Community Primary School saw homes taking shape at the company’s Oakfield Grange development and quizzed the Lovell construction team. Te visiting youngsters also learned about the importance of health and safety on building sites. “It was a lot of fun showing the Llantarnam pupils round and answering their questions,” says Bernadette Vickery, Lovell community co-ordinator. “Te children have been working on a project to design a bedroom in a new house, so visiting our Oakfield Grange

Housebuilder offers tips for an environmentally-friendly move


If you’re moving to a new house, you probably already have a long list of things to do, but have you thought about how you can make your move environmentally-friendly? With all the boxes, packing material and vehicle emissions used in the moving process, it’s not usually thought of as being good for the environment, but five star housebuilder, David Wilson Homes, is offering a few tips to help you be as eco-friendly as possible to mark Recycle Week which runs from September 24th- 30th.


Have a clear out before you move. Many removal companies charge based on the weight and size of your possessions – less stuff will save money and may mean a smaller removal van. Tink about your transport. Look for removal companies which are at EEV (Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicles) Standard which promotes vehicles with low-emissions. Give your discarded items a new home. Instead of binning your unwanted items, pass them on to family and friends, charity shops and schools. Tis will


reduce landfill as well as the number of new items bought. Clever packing. Use empty drawers, suitcases or travel bags to transport as many of your items as you can to save on the need for boxes and tape. Clothing, towels or old newspapers and magazines also make for great packing material. Use ‘green’ cleaning products. For your pre-move clean, consider using natural or more eco-friendly products. Richard Lawson, sales director for David Wilson, welcomes an eco- friendlier move. He said: “With the


number of buyers moving into our new homes, we wanted to offer them some environmentally-friendly tips to assist with their big move and we hope these will help.” David Wilson Homes is currently working on new developments across South Wales including St James’ Gardens in Wick, Springfield Gardens in St Mellons, Te Acres in Penperlleni, and King’s Wood Gate in Monmouth.
