Scotland’s First Minister calls in Safedem contract.
Alex Salmond, Scotland’s First Minister, has visited a Safedem demolition site in the West Pilton area of Edinburgh to see first hand the Scottish Governments’ funding of regeneration projects across Scotland.
He took a great interest in the demolition process and was fascinated by the size of the machine and the skill of the operator. He also commented on the tidiness of the site but specifically complimented Safedem’s Community Liaison Team for their proactive approach in keeping the community up to date and informed about site operations. Salmond spent over an hour on site talking to Safedem staff about all that goes into a demolition project.
“The amount of planning and consideration that Safedem have put into this project is incredible, their work is a really positive start to the regeneration of West Pilton,” he said.
The West Pilton demolitions are being carried out by Safedem as part of their term contract with City of Edinburgh Council. To date, Safedem have demolished over 300 redundant homes in the area.
