Capital Works
In line with Government guidelines, all Capital Works are back up and running. The disruption of works in 2020-2021 has left the programme significantly behind schedule. The team are working hard to deliver works as soon as possible.
If you require further information about Capital Works delivery during normal working hours please contact: michael.jordon-frere@redbridge.gov.uk or peter.piga@redbridge.gov.uk
Fire Safety
All Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) have been completed for this financial year. The next Fire Risk Assessments are scheduled for June and will consist of a Type 1 survey of communal areas but we will review this in mid-May when the impact of COVID-19 is better known.
Fire Safety Management reviews will cease until further notice. Residents are asked to keep communal areas tidy and free from any fire hazards and the Caretakers will be checking these areas.
If you require further information about Fire Management or Playgrounds on housing estates across the housing estate please contact John Kempster: john.kempster@redbridge.gov.uk
