A model estate - architectural model maker creates a mirrored version of Basterfield House
Architectural modelmaker Maz Weineck has created a model of Basterfield House as a fundraiser for charity Article 25. Maz says, 'This year's theme for humanitarian architecture charity Article 25's 10x10 auction is reflections. I wanted to have some fun with the theme and experiment with using mirror within my art. I decided to use Basterfield House as inspiration after going on a tour of the Golden Lane estate and being shown one the building’s flats as part of Open house festival. I like the idea of making artwork celebrating iconic architecture that is also architecture that means a lot to people. Whilst walking around the estate it was clear how much of a community there was there and how important the development was for the residents. It felt fitting to use my craft skills to make this art because a wonderful thing I discovered at the community centre is…See More

GLERA: Lease Extension Meeting
Wednesday 15 March 6.30 – 8.00 pm
Sir Ralph Perring Centre
Secretary Michael Gove has been in the news recently with his announcements about leasehold reform and his desire to abolish the leasehold system. We don't know how long it may take to come in to effect, and what it may actually cover (or not as the case may be).
In the meantime, many Golden Lane leaseholders are getting close to the 80 year mark – the point where the lease renewal process becomes more complex and expensive. Waiting for lease reform may not be a comfortable option…
So that residents can make a more informed decision about when they renew their leases, GLERA has been in touch with Officers from the Corporation Lease Extension team and they have kindly offered to come along and answer questions about the current process. They will be with us from 6.30 to 7.30 pm only.
Do come along!!!

OUR GREAT NEIGHBOURHOOD

Golden Lane Estate was a very worthy finalist for Academy of Urbanism's Great Neighbourhood Award 2018. We didn't win but came away with a certificate featuring the amazing image above and a beautiful poem by Ian McMillan:
Golden Lane Estate
All you need, anywhere, are streets paved with gold:
The gold of community, the gold of mutual benefit,
The gold of allotments in the early evening sun
That reflects on the windows of places built for living...
