NA1

Confirm reason for the window repairs programme being delayed at Bates Estate and communicate this to residents

Geof Gage

As discussed at area panel the requirement to hold back the window programme at Bates Estate was due to the additional works necessary for the removal of crittal window frames for which it was necessary to undertake a further assessment as to methods and necessary making good with an alternative contractor. This delay required us to hold back on this programme. We are now intending to undertake both window replacements and external repairs and decorations to the Bates Estate commencing 2024/25 financial year, this will allow us to utilise one set of scaffold for both elements, ensure value for money in doing so and avoid unnecessary disruption to residents by undertaking the two sets of work separately. We anticipate the works to the estate will be approximately 3 years.

Organise for the branches to be removed from outside the last two blocks of flats at Tavistock Down

Following the AP meeting the Estates Service inspected the branches. Due to the size of the branches, they need to be cut back by an arborist. This request has been submitted. A verbal update will be given at the next Area Panel when we expect the works to have been completed.
