The computer network which hasn’t been available in the 79 Flats has now been restored to health (thank you for your hard work John).

As the scaffolding was coming down everyone’s windows should have been checked for new paint sticking and every window washed.  Tenants were asked to report sticking windows, as no one did George is to do a check and let Bradley Construction have a list of those who have been missed so that it can be completed.  Any windows at balcony level and below would not have had a wash yet as this can be achieved from ladders.

Although we did say in the last Newsletter that all scaffolding apart from 75 would be removed, a small section of scaffolding needed to be left outside  73 for stability. This is to enable Bradley Construction to still hoist materials up to the mansard.  Sorry to everyone who still see scaffolding pipes (especially the 73 tenants who were told their scaffolding would go) but as the corridors are so narrow it’s the only way.

The studio flats are progressing well and we still hope to achieve a complete handover at the end of this October.  As mentioned in the last newsletter once the studio flats are completed the entrance of 75 will be completely refurbished,  redecorated and the exterior walls down to the basements will be completed also. The vault of  75 will also house a new water tank and booster pump supplying extra water to the new Mega flow system for all the studios, and on October 1^st Thames Water will be bringing a new larger water supply to the building to ensure that we all have better shower pressure.

Plans for the entrance have been submitted to Westminster City Council for Planning Permission. Key features and benefits for tenants will be:

• Solar Panels to preheat the water supply and reduce our carbon footprint
• Individual Letter Boxes for tenants in 75
• Security Cameras to monitor and protect the approaches to all houses
• An open reception area in the entrance to 75, providing natural light and an aesthetically attractive 1^st impression.

We will give you more details on those proposals once they have been through the Planning Process.

One last piece of information that I hope that no one will need – George is on holiday for 1 week starting 17^th September. For this week please address any queries that would normally go to George to Nick on 07850 769597.
