BELLWAY BUYS LAND FROM HOMES ENGLAND FOR LANDMARK DEVELOPMENT AT TATTENHOE PARK Bellway has completed the purchase of land from Homes England in Milton Keynes, where it will adopt new building technology for the first time in the UK, speeding up the build process with some homes built on a factory production line. Bellway will build 160 homes using Modern Methods of Construction on the 9.2-acre parcel of land at Tattenhoe Park. This will include 40 modular homes and 120 homes built using timber frame panels.
AMEY BEGINS ITS FIVEYEAR CONTRACT WITH TRANSPORT SCOTLAND On the 7th March 2022, Amey began its new five-year contract with Transport Scotland to operate, maintain and upgrade the motorway and trunk road technology infrastructure across the whole of Scotland. Working on behalf of Transport Scotland, Amey is working with Traffic Scotland to inspect and improve all intelligent transport systems, transmission buildings and associated communications equipment.
The housebuilder was selected to develop the site at Tattenhoe Park as part of a Homes England pilot project to speed up the delivery of new homes. The build programme will be completed within two years of work starting.
The project is one of a series being led by Homes England with the ambition of delivering 1,800 new homes across the country using a variety of modern construction methods. Bellway secured planning consent for the development at the end of 2021 and expects to start work on site by the summer.
With over 12,000 intelligent transport system (ITS) assets across Scotland, from today, teams at Amey will operate and maintain variable messaging signs, CCTV, emergency roadside telephones (ERTs) and various power and communication cabinets. Social value also forms a key part of this contract. Amey’s approach to social value will encompass giving back to the local community through supporting employment and local skills with work experience and professional training opportunities. To inspire future generations, Amey employees will also work closely with local schools to encourage young people to offer career advice to build skills and confidence and consider the infrastructure industry as a long-term employment opportunity. Amey has been Transport Scotland’s ITS equipment maintenance provider since December 2004. This new contract will run for five years and has the option to extend for up to a further two years. Amey has worked with Transport Scotland for over 20 years, managing and maintaining hundreds of miles of the motorway and trunk road network across Scotland, as well as providing key consultancy services such as asset management, design services and environmental management.
