WITH the Christmas holidays approaching, a construction firm owner is renewing his call for parents and teachers to warn children away from playing on dangerous building sites.
John Rawlinson, regional managing director of Bluestone, which has offices in Ashworth Road, Swindon, says children need to understand that building sites are not playgrounds and are dangerous 'no-go' areas.
"Construction sites can be very dangerous places with scaffolding, building materials and heavy duty machinery and vehicles around which might be tempting to play on, but could be the cause of serious accidents," he said.
"We really want to drive this message home to every parent, teacher and responsible adult to ensure we have a happy and safe Christmas. This is the time when youngsters are going to be looking for places to play with their friends and new toys."
