<p></p>
<p>The main takeaways from the walkabout, which lasted an hour and took in about half the common areas of the Estate were:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1) Drainage has not been routinely maintained and cleared for some years and there are blockages all over the estate, causing damage from the paving outside Cuthbert Harrowing, flooding on the car park ramp, lifting flooring in the sports hall, uneven paving on the podium and spalling concrete in the sports centre changing rooms. It is really urgent that an estate-wide maintenance and unblocking contract is organised immediately.</p>
<p>2) The Estate Office suffers difficulties with contractors claiming they have attended site and carried out works, which it then transpires are not done, or not done properly.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Attached is a summary of some of the points that came up on the walkabout. Many thanks due to the Estate Office Team for organising this.</p> Relocation of Golden Lane Estate Officetag:goldenlane.ning.com,2019-12-18:2323372:Topic:737372019-12-18T23:22:39.014ZBrigid Curtishttps://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/BrigidCurtis

<p>We're delighted that the initial idea to move the Estate Office to the Community Centre has now been abandoned, and hope that the newly sited office will have enough space to hold keys to all the flats on the estate (as in the Barbican).</p>
<p>The Barbican Estate Office is at a distance from Golden Lane, so would be inconvenient - both for residents with disabilities, and tor the Estate Office Staff, who would not be in daily touch with life on the estate. BUT if it meant that Golden Lane could <span style="text-decoration: underline;">share the repairs regime that is in place in the Barbican</span>, where a dedicated team carries out repairs within days (rather than the weeks or months endured by Golden Lane residents due to managers at CoL and Wates failing to communicate with each other) it might be worth it. Otherwise definitely NOT.</p>
<p>We haven't managed to access any further information about the available sites. </p>
