Welcome to your latest works update - this is where we will regularly update you on our progress with the works being undertaken at Olivia Court.
If you have any queries, questions or concerns about the works please contact your appointed Resident Liaison Officer (RLO), Michael Olaadedini on 07402 861 522.
It is our intention to provide a regular update to the residents at Olivia Court as to what works have taken place and what works are upcoming. In between these updates the site team will be contacting you to make appointments for any surveys or works that need to be done to the outside of near your flat.
Our progress to date:
- Scaffold erection has been completed
- Ongoing balcony light removal
- Respite unit completed
Important information:
Windows: We would like to remind everyone to keep their windows closed (due to potential but not anticipated noise/debris/dust etc.) as well as the privacy element. The make of the insulation to the rear is EPS which is very light and can easily be blown back into your property.
Scaffold Health & Safety Risk: We would also like to remind residents not to smoke on their balconies and throw cigarette butts on the scaffold along with other items such as rubbish, toys etc. Unfortunately, cigarettes and cigarette butts can easily be blown back into the building and/or onto the scaffold or existing cladding and cause a fire.
Christmas news update: Hallam Court Festive Celebrations:
During December Michael gave out the Christmas raffle draw basket hamper to local residents. We would like to thank all the residents for their continued support and co-operation. Your dedication to our community is greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed. Together, we have achieved so much, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside each and every one of you to make our community an even better place to live. Your involvement is crucial, and we are truly grateful for your ongoing commitment. Thank you for being such valuable members of our community.
