recycling procedures; and a

Sue Threader, bridge clerk (chief
executive) to the Trust, said: “I am
incredibly proud of this award, which
recognises the efforts of everyone
involved in the refurbishment.
“This acknowledges the consideration
and determination of all, and is as much
about us as considerate constructors as
it is about the standard of work
completed so far.”
Liam McGoldrick, senior contracts
manager for FM Conway, which is
carrying out the works, added: “This is
a brilliant pat on the back for our whole
workforce. We all take pride in our
work and to have those efforts
recognised by such a prestigious scheme
really means a lot to us.
“The Considerate Constructors Scheme
makes a huge difference to the way our
industry is seen by others, and to know
our efforts are a part of that is
incredible.”
