“Congratulations to Kier Construction for scoring a 42/50 on the Considerate Constructors Scheme audit for their work at our seventh village, Ledian Gardens. Creating communities and promoting wellbeing are at the heart of what Inspired Villages does, which is why we choose to work with construction partners who are mindful of the communities we develop and operate within as well as promote the wellbeing of their workforce. We look forward to being able to safely open phase 1 of Ledian Gardens later this year.”
