COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Overview of Community Engagement

SETTING THE SCENE

SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES

W e work in collaboration with our customers to ensure the people affected by, or with an interest in, our construction projects receive timely, relevant and accurate information about the works and how the activities associated with it may affect them. We will provide opportunities for these parties to give feedback, ask questions and raise issues they may be concerned about. In all instances while we are on site, we will have a positive impact on the community and build good relations with local people. This includes meeting our commitments under the Welsh Governments Community Benefit Guidelines in ensuring social benefits to the area and encouraging the next generation into a career in construction by connecting with schools and colleges and offering meaningful employment opportunities. We say what we mean so in this document we will showcase examples of how this has been implemented on previous projects.

A s part of our commitment to community engagement, our public liaison officer will work with local community groups and organisations to identify ways that we may be able to add value to the local community. This may be through our team volunteering their skills and expertise as part of our Employer Supported Volunteering programme, donation of materials or specialist services to support a community group, or through providing support to grass root community initiatives through sponsorship. Each community is individual so we believe that our support should be tailored to community needs and aspirations. Supporting communities however isn’t one dimensional and as a result our approach isn’t either. We see our social responsibility as being circular and so when we talk about community engagement we are commiting to ensuring that we provide economic benefit to the local area through providing meaningful employment, training and educational opportunities. We are also providing an assurance that we will act as ‘Good Neighbours’ and we

will show our commitment to this through the ‘Considerate Constructors’ code of practice.

LET’S TALK

C ommunication is key and so it sits right at the heart of our approach to community and stakeholder engagement. On our projects we provide a dedicated public liaison officer whose sole responsibility is to ensure we provide effective and meaningful communication throughout the lifecycle of our projects. Through a project specific communication and stakeholder plan we will set out our methods of communication and working alongside communities and our clients we will ensure that we engage in open, honest and transparent communication. Engagement methods adapted will be appropriae to the projects requirements but include: • Public Meetings • Newsletters • Community Noticboards • Social Media • Project Websites • Virtual Exhibitions • Direct Public Liaison

A BIT ABOUT US At Knights Brown we believe in realising ambitions. The ambitions of our people to have exciting and IXOȴOOLQJFDUHHUV$QGWKHDPELWLRQVRIRXUFXVWRPHUVWR SURYLGHȴUVWFODVVLQIUDVWUXFWXUHDQGSXEOLFVSDFHVWKDWDUH attractive places to live and work for the communities they serve. We listen carefully to understand customers’ aspirations and devise solutions to the physical and ȴQDQFLDOFKDOOHQJHV:HVKDUHRXUNQRZOHGJHDQG experience openly, always seeking the best results. We’re a privately owned and independent, multidisciplinary construction company. We employ local people and are passionate about the places where we work because they’re where we live too. We’re known for our down to earth approach, friendly teams, and ability to respond swiftly and decisively when circumstances change. PROJECT INTRO Knights Brown has been awarded the contract to undertake the Churchill Way and City Centre East project on behalf of &DUGL΍&RXQFLO Works will begin in February 2022 to uncover and restore the Dock Feeder canal that runs underneath Churchill Way. The canal was constructed in the 1830s to supply fresh water to the docks but was culverted over in 1949 to allow the construction of Churchill Way. This scheme aims to uncover and restore this section of the canal while also undertaking public realm and highway improvements to the area. We will also be completing highway improvements to the roads around Churchill Way and Queen Street Station as part of the scheme.

COMMUNICATION

INNOVATION

NOTICEBOARDS / STORYBOARDS

W e want our communications to be meaningful. So to ensure this, we implement a straightforward approach ensuring that all written communications are clear, concise and free of jargon. Let’s be honest nobody wants to read something that leaves them baffled or confused!! We also ensure that all our communications are targetted specifically at the communities where we are working, you can be assured it will never be generic, copy and paste text! Our noticeboards will be individually designed for the project and reflect the environment where they are to be cited. We even adapt our communications on site to enable children to understand our works through creative storyboards and illustrations. We are also adaptive and responsive and when the world went virtual due to covid so did we. We developed virtual exhibitions and ‘Meet the Contractor’ events to ensure that we maintained our high standards of communications. However, you can’t beat person to person interaction and so our dedicated public liaison team work hard to ensure they engage locally providing a first point of contact on all our schemes.

EDUCATION & TRAINING

PRIMARY YEARS

COMPREHENSIVE

I nspiring young minds and captivating imaginations is the ethos behind our primary education engagement. It is never to early to promote careers in the construction industry and so working in conjunction with I.C.E and CCS we work with schools to provide STEM opportunities including initiatives like ‘Ivor Goodsite’ and ‘Bridges to School. Through our STEM ambassadors we also create innovative project specific educational programmes that are cross curricular and meet the new curriculum. programme that used our very own friendly sea monster ’Dilwyn’ to deliver a programme on coastal erosion and the impact of climate change on coastal communities. Using digital technology and illustration the pupils brought their learning to life in video and illustration. We also used Dilwyn to promote literacy by taking him in to nursery and reception years and telling the story of Dilwyn. On our Porthcawl coastal scheme we developed a coastal erosion STEM

COLLEGE / UNIVERSITY E ach year we actively engage with Welsh colleges and universities through guest lectures, careers fairs and by supporting industry placements and career opportunities. Our industry placements provide students with a ‘hands on’ experience to the construction industry. Each student gets the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in our business as we believe it is important that they gain a 360 degree view of the industry and all elements that go in to a project from tender submission through to project completion. We also work alongside schools to deliver projects in line with the STEM curriculum. We are currently delivering a ‘Coastal Management’ STEM project with years 9 and 10 of Porthcawl Comprehensive school where we are delivering a project tailored to their curriculum that challenges them to think about coastal management and protection. Using a fictitious coastal scenario they have been challenged to work in groups and develop a coastal management plan that will be presented to a ‘Dragons Den’ style board which includes the client BCBC, the designers BCBC and us as the contractors. They have worked alongside our engineers as mentors and tutors and have also been challenged to think innovatively about how they will present their plan. S imilar to our primary engagement we work with secondary schools across Wales to deliver engaging and innovative programmes and interactions. We attend careers fairs and provide careers talks in schools. We also encourage pupils to visit our sites and regularly undertake school site visits alongside offering work experience placements

Sustainable Transport

Gren Infrastructure

Some examples of sustainable transport are walking, cycling, hybrid cars and car pooling. Walking is good for you and also good for the environment.

Sustainable transport refers to vehicles and ways of travelling that are environmentally friendly (or friendlier than those using fossil fuels).

Green infrastructure is a complex of multi-functional green space (and other green features) in urban and rural areas, which can deliver environmental and quality of life benefits for communities.

Green infrastructure provides a means to restore natural environmental features to urban life. Green infrastructure can also reduce harmful substances in the air.

“Sustainable transport” also means “healthier ways of transportation”.

It benefits our health because there is a reduction in carbon emissions, which means there is less air pollution. It also encourages people to use more active transportation, such as cycling or public transport.

Green infrastructure provides areas for water to drain, helps create homes for insects, and improves our environment through the reduction of harmful substances.

There are lots of examples of how sustainable transport is being implemented in Cardiff. These include additional cycle paths in Wellington Street and Castle Street, and charging stations in St David’s Centre.

Sustainable transport is important for the environment, because it contributes to a reduction in damaging carbon emissions from regular combustion engines.

Green infrastructure can contribute to areas like parks, gardens and fields.

We can see examples of green infrastructure in places like the River Taff and Grangetown.

Cycling is also good for the environment, because it doesn’t emit pollutants. Ilustration & design by pupils of Kitchenr Primary Schol & CISP Multimedia Ltd DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION PROJECT KITCHENER PRIMARY SCHOOL, CARDIFF Ilustration & design by pupils of Kitchenr Primary Schol & CISP Multimedia Ltd

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

CONSIDERATE CONSTRUCTORS

W e believe in a grass roots approach to community engagement in the areas where we work. That is why each of our projects develops their own community engagement plan that works with local charities and community organisations to identify projects and iniatiatives where our team can have a positive impact. This could be through us giving our time and expertise to help a project, such as develop a childrens construction area at St Marys The Virgin Primary School in Cardiff, or developing an outside garden area and fire pit for Newton Scouts in Porthcawl. We have also provided sponsorship to grass root sports enabling children and young people to continue enjoying sport in their community. We are currently sponsoring Bridgend Sports Rugby Club and Llanishen who engage and support hundreds of young people to enjoy playing sport each week. Supporting community initiatives is important to us and our site teams lead by example. Each year we raise thousands for charities by undertaking challenges. We are currently working with Shelter Cymru to raise funds to help support the homeless and vulnerably housed across Wales and we have previously supported charities such as Macmillan, The Wallich, Huggard Centre and Mind Cymru.

T he Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is an important part of how we manage our relationshipswith project stakeholders: We have been registering sites with the CCS since it was established and have won numerous annual awards including our most recent gold award for Church Crookham Junior School. Many of our projects have also featured on the CCS best practice hub. The site visit reports we receive are above the industry standard score of 35.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

EMPLOYER SUPPORTED VOLUNTEERING

SUPPORTING SME’s

E ach year our teams support their local communities by volunteering their time and expertise to support local community projects through our Employer Supported Volunteering Programme.

W e are committed to supporting the local economy and in all our projects we actively seek to engage with local SME’s to ensure we maximise the benfit to the local economy. Through proven SME outreach initiaitives, such as ‘Meet the Buyer’ events, mentoring, information seminars and workshops we will actively seek to support local businesses and help create more job opportunities.

The projects have been wide and varied and have included

• Supporting food banks to prepare and deliver food packages, • Renovating community areas / gardens, • Volunteering at charity events,

• Supporting young people in schools and youth groups,

VOLUNTEERING INITIATIVES

•

Litter picks and beach cleans,

• Supporting Environmental Projects such as STEER.

• Preparing & serving Christmas dinner to the homeless and vulnerable through local charity The Zone.. On all our projects we will work alongside the community to identify suitable volunteering opportunities that enable us to ‘Give Back’ to the communities where we live and work.

CASE STUDIES

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN CARDIFF

320 Pupils engaged in STEM activities to date

320 Each scheme has a dedicated Public Liaison Officer (PLO) who has developed and implemented a project-specific stakeholder and communications plan. The PLO has then worked closely with the site team to ensure that this plan is implemented and monitored throughout the project. We have implemented a coordinated approach to delivering community engagement and social value benefits throughout these projects. This has been maintained through the development of a core team involved throughout the schemes to ensure consistency and continuity of our high delivery standards. O ver the past two years, we have been undertaking several projects across the city on behalf of Cardiff Council. These have included: • Cardiff Central Square Infrastructure Works • Tudor Street Transport & Environmental Improvement Works • Churchill Way Canal Quarter and City Centre East Highways Improvements • Castle St Infrastructure Works COMMUNICATION O ur works have been undertaken in high-profile and busy city areas with high levels of public footfall and visibility. Throughout all schemes, it has been imperative that we maintain clear and accurate communication to residents, businesses and visitors to the area. Each project developed a detailed communication plan identifying engagement methods to ensure effective communication with all stakeholders. In the world of social media and new technologies, we developed project-specific websites and utilised social media to spread the word on the works being delivered. However, we were conscious that the area received many visitors who may only be visiting for a day or a weekend, so information also had to be visual and present in our working areas. As a result, we developed project-specific noticeboards for each of our projects explaining our works. Despite our commitment to the environment, we are also aware that not everyone has access to a computer or uses social media so we designed and delivered newsletters within the local area that held a QR code to enable residents to sign up to receive email newsletters in the future or to notify us of their wish to continue receiving paper copies. As a result, after the initial letter drops, we reduced the level of paper letter drops required and still maintained consistent communications with those impacted by our works. Many of the projects took place during the Covid pandemic. So to ensure we maintained regular contact with residents and businesses in the area, we ran virtual drop-in sessions where people could raise any concerns or queries about our works. We could also update the project's progress and the latest traffic management phasings. Our public liaison officer also held individual meetings with residents or businesses where concerns or queries were raised about how they may be impacted. To date, on our Cardiff Schemes, we have delivered information to over 6000 residents/businesses within our work areas. We have held over 20hrs of drop-in virtual sessions with businesses and residents. Our project-specific websites have had over 7000 views by members of the public, and most importantly, our level of formal complaints has been consistently low across all schemes. This is a testament to the joined-up and proactive approach delivered by the team at site leve l.

EDUCATION

Rain Gardens

A rain garden is an area of land that helps to stop floods. Using special plants, rain gardens collect floodwater and channel it into underground pipes, so the water can’t flood the street or damage any property.

T hroughout the project, one of our key priorities is to engage with local schools to actively promote careers in the construction industry, educate them about construction site safety, encourage careers in STEM, and highlight the work we are undertaking in their community. Currently, we have worked with five schools and delivered two unique custom developed education programmes to over 320 primary-aged pupils. The programmes have been designed specifically for the projects and delivered using a unique cross-curricular approach that enabled educational engage - ment at a time when Covid restrictions meant we could not go to schools in person. Tudor Street & Central Square – Sustainable Infrastructure in the City This project worked with 2 classes in Kitchener Primary School, Cardiff, to deliver a custom-developed programme that explored the impact sustainable infrastructure could have on reducing climate change in their community. We developed an educational pack that delivered lessons on:

A rain garden works by collecting rainwater from streets, driveways and roofs during heavy rain and thunderstorms. Because the rain garden soaks up all the excess water, it helps manage rainfall runoff from hard surfaces.

Rain gardens are important, because they prevent flooding and make Cardiff more wildlife-friendly.

• Green infrastructure – rain gardens and living roofs Working alongside a digital illustrator, we delivered the scheme using virtual lessons split into three elements. The first involved delivering a short learning session on each topic and then using that learning to get the pupils to develop ideas and storyboards on what they had learned. Our digital illustrator, then using special software, was able to interact with the pupils in the classroom and help digital cartooning and illustration sessions to help them to bring their ideas to life. Over each session, the pupils developed storyboards on each topic and also created their very own 'Eco Warrior' character. By the end of the project, the pupils had developed storyboards which were then turned into hoardings displayed in their local area to raise awareness of the importance of creating a greener city. 'Year 6 were on their leavers trip today. We passed the Knights Brown construction work and were very excited and proud to see their comic panels on display! Thank you so much for making their work relevant and giving them such a concrete, real life, final outcome.' J.Horner – Kitchener Primary Churchill Way Canal Quarter – The Canal – Past, Present & Future This project worked with four schools within the local area and again was developed specifically for the project. This time we ran an educational programme on the importance that the dock feeder canal had played in history, its construction and how its reopening would impact the city's future. The sessions took the same format as the Tudor/Central Square programme, but this time each school was given its own topic to develop, starting with the historical past, the importance of the canal on the industrial revolution, the reasons for the demise of the canal network and the future of the canal once it is reopened. The end result was the development of a storyboard hoarding sharing the history of the canal and their hopes for the canal in the future. The hoarding was then printed and is displayed on the projects hoardings in the city centre. This cross curricular approach to delivering interactive educational projects resulted in a new educational and visual resource that combined STEM, engi- neering and construction with cartooning, graphic design and illustration that helped to bring the canal from its historic past to how the pupils hope it will be seen and used in the future. At the start of the next term, we will be hosting site visits from the schools so that they can see the project site and admire their own art work in situ.

Sustainable transport is important for the environment, because it contributes to a reduction in damaging carbon emissions from regular combustion engines.

Cycling is also good for the environment, because it doesn’t emit pollutants.

CHURCHIL WAY

The Purpose of The Canl

The Churchill way canal was part of the 25 mile long Glamorganshire Canal. The Churchill Way Canal was originally built to supply water to the docks in Cardiff bay.

Cardiff owes much of its History to the Industrial revolution, which stimulated the mining industry of South Wales. Cardiff had been transformed from one of the smallest towns in Wales into the largest.

This meant that even during a low tide ships could still export supplies and materials out of Cardiff Docks all over the world. The Canal was first built in 1790.

Churchill Way Canal supplied water to the Docks in Cardiff Bay so that the docks could operate even when the tide was out. This gave Cardiff one of the world’s first twenty-four hour docks, which led to a huge growth in business and population.

Cardiff’s port was handling more coal than any other port in the world. Cardiff became wealthy and prosperous. The industrial revolution changed the lives of the people of Cardiff too. They now went out to work in new industries and factories.

The canal brought many materials like iron and coal from the Welsh valleys to the Docks so that it could be sold all over the world.

Coal, timber and iron were exported from Cardiff Docks. In 1862, two million tonnes of coal were exported from Cardiff. On the eve of the First World War in 1913 coal exports reached their peak at over 13 Million tonnes.

Materials like coal and iron were loaded onto horse drawn boats in the Welsh Valleys and transported to Cardiff docks ready to sell and export.

The Glamorganshire canal was built between Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff as a more effective way of transporting people and goods. It was later to become the primary mode of carrying coal to the Docks.

CHURCHIL WAY

The Future of the Canl

There is a big, positive plan to reopen the Churchill Way canal.

Churchill Way will be changed, but in a very positive way.

Connecting past and present in a seamless, immaculately engineered system, the new Churchill Way canal quarter will be both functional and aesthetic, with improvements built into every facet of the redesign.

A new engineering scheme has been devised to invigorate new life into this forgotten element of Cardiff's history, embracing a piece of the city's past in order to bring new joy to present and future generations.

Embracing environmentally-friendly methods of engineering, and in conjunction with the idea of repurposing Cardiff's natural past to protect its future, rain gardens will be constructed around the restored canal waterway. These rain gardens are a new and exciting development in green engineering, using vegetation to control floodwater and purify city air by removing pollutants.

The canal will rise and bring life to Chuchill Way.

Chuchill Way canal will be a lovely, fabulous and peaceful place for all.

After more than seventy years out of sight beneath the streets of Cardiff, the Churchill Way canal will finally see the light of day once again. An attractive new canal quarter will be built around the restored waterway, with rain gardens and natural plants providing a comfortable, attractive space for all who choose to visit.

It will reduce pollution, attract wildlife and nature and be great for Cardiff.

With precision engineering and planning being undertaken to restore this forgotten remnant of Cardiff's mighty history, the future of Churchill Way has never looked brighter.

Churchill Way's transformation will bring about a new era for Cardiff, respecting the city's storied past whilst embracing green engineering to create a newer, healthier space for all.
