Building and construction sites present a significant danger to young people. Nowhere is this truer than on large developments close to schools. The Windmill Estate development at Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire is one such development. The Windmill Estate is close to the Fulbourn Primary School. Because it takes its community responsibilities very seriously, Accent Nene - the local housing association responsible for the development - has been actively encouraging children at the school to understand the danger of playing on building sites.

Peterborough housing association Accent Nene - part of the Accent Group - is investing over £3 million a year in maintaining its 3,500 rented and shared equity homes throughout Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, East Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Nottinghamshire. Over £2 million of this is being used for kitchen and bathroom renovations, heating and boiler renewal, the replacement of TV aerials and exterior decorations. Last year 117 kitchens were replaced, together with 54 central heating systems.
