meeting and maintaining the most stringent safety standards at the Newport development. Tey are focused on keeping health and safety management at the top of the agenda and have built a strong partnership with the subcontractors working on the project to ensure consistently high standards.” Te safety awards for the Lovell team at Newport follow on from the success of their Lovell colleagues working on a major housing refurbishment project in Bristol who won Lovell’s first National Health and Safety Award earlier this year. Kate Rees, Lovell regional managing director for South Wales and the South West, comments: “I’m delighted that the expertise and commitment of Luke Morgan and his team working on this major housing scheme in Newport have been acknowledged. Ensuring the safety of everyone working on our sites and of the public is an absolute priority for Lovell. Tis achievement underlines the care, hard work and professionalism involved in keeping everyone safe.”
Lovell is currently working on the third and fourth phases of the Loſtus Garden Village development for Pobl, having previously completed phases one and two. High-quality Arts and Craſts-inspired homes are set amid extensive landscaping with tree-lined streets as well as parks and kitchen gardens with a central green space creating a traditional village feel. As well as establishing a sustainable new community on the site which had previously lain empty for over a decade, the development has generated significant job and training opportunities through the construction programme. Te development site itself has played an important part in the history of Newport, having once been occupied by a World War 2 munitions factory. Te Garden Village’s name pays tribute to local resident Ruby Loſtus who gained fame in the 1940s when she was painted by war artist Dame Laura Knight carrying out her highly skilled job at the Royal Ordnance factory.
