Cumberland Council are pleased to share a significant achievement from our Carlisle Southern Link Road project. Following a recent assessment by The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), our site has maintained its 'Excellent' rating with full marks - making this our third consecutive top score.
This achievement reflects the team's consistent dedication to:
- Delivering high-quality construction work while minimising community impact
- Fostering meaningful relationships with local residents and stakeholders
- Maintaining rigorous safety and environmental standards
The CCS auditor's feedback noted: "The project operates at a very high level... Well done an excellent project with very high levels of commitment to the CCS scheme demonstrated."
Councillor Denise Rollo, Cumberland Council Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
“Achieving a perfect score for the third year running is a huge testament to the efforts of the entire Carlisle Southern Link Road team, who continue to show due respect and consideration for members of the public in everything we do. This recognition wouldn't be possible without their daily commitment to best practices and their consideration of our local community. They've shown exceptional professionalism in managing site operations while maintaining strong relationships with our community.”
As we move forward, we remain committed to upholding these high standards.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this achievement possible.
