Eleri Crudgington, Cardiff & Vale University Health Board lead
I really enjoyed the visits to both Rumney and Cloughmore, very different schemes in terms of size and location, both with very different challenges. However, the one common theme was the quality and attention to detail. Very well done on another two quality schemes.
