Barratt Redrow plc

During the visit, Ben met site manager Liz Wakefield, who recently received a Pride in the Job award from the National Housebuilding Council, NHBC, in recognition of the quality of the construction of Alkenbury Weald.

Widely regarded as the housebuilding industry's greatest accolade for site managers, the award saw Barrett Redrow PLC secure 122 wins this year, more than any other housebuilder.

Ben Obisjekty, MP, said, It's great to see sustainable development and the development at Alkenbury Weald continues to show the way forward in how new homes can be built in Huntingdonshire.

My congratulations to Liz Wakefield and the team on continuing to drive forward the ambitious plans coming to fruition in a community that continues to go from strength to strength.

Six months after a well-attended Shaftesbury Town Council meeting where Dorset Council officials promised to tackle unfinished landscaping at Blackmoor Down, residents are still waiting for action on problems they say they've been complaining about for more than two years.

Now, in an extraordinary development, Shaftesbury landscape architect Bernard Ede has told the October Fall Town Council meeting that Dorset Council and developer Barrett Redrow are trying to establish which landscaping plans were actually approved in the first place.

Residents say they want the landscaping they were promised when they bought their homes, including paths, planting, open spaces and the stonewall frontage.

At the public meeting, Dorset Council leader Nick Ireland and the planning portfolio holder Shane Bartlett face questions about raised ground levels, poor soil, dying trees and unfinished work.

One's astonished that there's confusion within the planning department as to which drawings, which scheme comprises the planning consent.

I find it incomprehensible.

Alfred understands another meeting between residents' representatives and Barrett Redrow's plan for this weekend.

Homeowners hope it will bring clarity over which drawings and specifications apply and whether the developer and Dorset Council accept the legal interpretation.

So I won't get a slap on the wrist for saying, um, Barratt Redrow, which is the-

Wow.

Yeah
