ISG Totty Building - Secures influential Manchester sure start
roll out programme
City Council, as part of its Sure
Start development programme. New purpose built Sure
Start centres will be constructed across the city at
Chorlton, Gorton, New Moston and Whalley Range as part
of this major Council investment strategy, with ISG
Totty Building due to commence work across these sites
at the start of August.
Sure Start is a government initiative, which aims to
increase the availability of childcare places, support
parents and raise the quality of learning and
development opportunities for young children. The
projects form part of ISG Totty Building’s framework
partnership deal with Manchester City Council, which
sees the contractor work across the Council's property
portfolio, delivering new build and refurbishment
projects up to £500K in value.
At Chorlton Park and Broadhurst Park in New Moston, ISG
Totty Building will demolish existing facilities to make
way for the new Sure Start centres, which comprise a
single-storey load baring masonry structure with
aluminium windows and a flat performance membrane roof.
A further two identical centres will be built on part of
the existing playing fields at St James’ C of E Primary
School in Gorton and St Margaret’s C of E Primary School
in Whalley Range.
Each Sure Start centre provides a range of facilities
for parents and children, including a crèche, child
minder area, training room, health room, toy store and
baby change areas. External secure play areas will also
be built at each of the new centres and ISG Totty
Building will install fencing and landscape the
surrounding areas with attractive hard and soft
finishes.
Gary Hughes, construction director at ISG Totty
Building, commented: “The government’s Sure Start
programme has contributed to significant local council
investment within educational facilities. As a key
framework partner, ISG has both the credentials and
expertise to provide true end-to-end design & build
solutions across the Council’s property portfolio and
these latest awards recognise the continuing success of
this high profile procurement route. Work across the
four sites is scheduled for completion early in the New
Year and we are confident that these new Sure Start
facilities will prove an invaluable asset to the local
communities they serve.”
