As the Christmas holidays approach, leading developer David Wilson Homes has enlisted one of Santa’s little helpers to send out an important message encouraging children to think about elf n’ safety.

Busy David Wilson Homes staff are working on new developments across Oxfordshire, many of which have families with children living nearby. With schools closed over Christmas, children are being told to stay away from building sites as they shouldn’t be visited unsupervised.

Santa has sent one of his fully vaccinated elves to visit David Wilson Homes’ sites in Oxfordshire and, like every visitor, has had to wear a hard hat and hi-vis clothing for protection. The elf is to remind kids to stay on Santa’s ‘nice list’ by keeping clear of building sites at all times.

Campbell Gregg, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes Southern, said; “Children, like elves, can be curious and adventurous, and turn up in the most unlikely places, especially when schools are closed. However, building sites can be dangerous places for little people.

“Developers like ourselves are building more new homes at sites all over the country, but until they are completed these places are very hazardous for young children.

“With the holidays approaching, children should think of their ‘elf n’ safety and stay well away from them.”

Before the pandemic, David Wilson Homes was able to host regular site visits and safety talks for schools close to its developments all year round. It has since launched a site safety video in order to encourage site safety and highlight the hazards of playing on or near construction sites.

David Wilson Homes currently has a selection of homes available to buy at high quality developments in Oxfordshire, including Letcombe Gardens, Dida Gardens, River Meadow and Kings Gate.
