Noel Park Pod & Major Works Project

The following update has been extracted from the newsletter issued from Haringey Council to residents of Noel Park. If you have any questions, queries or concerns about the works being undertaken by Equans, please contact your appointed Resident Liaison Officers by visiting the 'Meet the team' page.

The installation of L shape kitchen/bathroom modulars have commenced in properties on Farrant Avenue, Moselle Avenue and Morley Road. On Gladstone Avenue the installation of bathroom modular pods has started. At the same time our team is working on external upgrades including repairing roofs and windows.

External works

External works have started with roofs, windows and doors being renewed and fabric repairs also taking place on Gladstone Avenue. The next step is the installation of double pods.

To help spread some festive cheer this year, the Equans team at Noel Park are hosting a Christmas hamper raffle for local residents and the best news is that you've already been entered!

Each property on the Noel Park Estate has automatically been entered into our draw with the winner being chosen at random by our Resident Liaison Officers. The lucky recipient of our festive themed hamper will be announced on Friday 15th December.

We wish you all luck and we hope you enjoy the festive holidays.

We would like to inform you that our Noel Park site will be shutting for the festive holiday from Friday 22nd December and re-opening on Tuesday 2nd January 2024.

A children's activity pack can be viewed and downloaded from our 'Documents Library'.

Please be careful if carving pumpkins and stay safe whilst trick or treating.

Equans' Working Parents Network have produced an activity pack to help keep children entertained throughout the summer holidays - click here to download a copy.

We understand that it's difficult to keep children entertained throughout summer, especially whilst you're working or maybe you've run out of ideas of things to do - well maybe we can help with that..

Our summer activity pack includes a number of drawing activities including word searches, puzzles and spot the difference as well as useful tips, recipes and ideas for days out.

Further to the information below, we have now completed all drone surveys.

Drones were recently utilised to carry out photographic surveys on the Noel Park Estate. They were used to capture aerial photos of the properties' roof line and high-level windows to assess their condition and state of repair prior to the scaffolding being erected.

The data obtained from the surveys are now being reviewed and actioned. Residents will be informed about the programme of works.

Please be aware that from 24th April for approximately 4 weeks we will be using a drone to carry out photographic surveys on the Noel Park Estate.

The drone will be used to capture aerial photographs of the property's roof line and high-level window to assess their condition and state of repair prior to the erecting of any scaffolding. See images below (Figs 1 & 2) of areas to be inspected.

Significant progress has been made on our major works programme in Noel Park. Construction works are continuing with the new modular extensions at Farrant Avenue and Moselle Avenue. To date, half of the extensions have now been installed. We aim to have all improvement works on these properties completed by the end of summer 2023.

It is expected that planning permission on the last remaining modular extensions on Gladstone Avenue will be granted soon. We would like to thank residents for their patience, and we will be in touch prior to any work taking place.

The previous L-shaped kitchen and bathroom show pods at The Sandlings car park have now been removed. A show pod of the bathroom modular extension only will soon be available for viewing. We are anticipating the pod to be open for viewings later this month - this will provide residents on Gladstone Avenue an indication of what their new bathrooms will look like.

If you have any questions or would like to view the modular extension show pod, please contact the Equans Resident Liaison Officers, Lyn Rutherford on 07767 648 158 or Sonja Eldred on 07748 822 768. Alternatively, you can email the dedicated Noel Park mailbox at Haringey Council NoelPark@haringey.gov.uk. Viewings will be held Monday - Friday between 9,30am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 3.30pm. Late evening appointments are also available on Wednesdays from 1.30pm - 7pm. All viewings must be pre-booked.

In addition to the modular extension works, our external works programme has commenced at Gladstone Avenue as scheduled. These works consist of:

• Minor garden clearance
• Scaffolding along the front and rear elevations
• Roof renewal
• Window and front door works
• Brickwork and decoration repairs

The Equans site team will continue to work with you to explain the works in more detail and answer any queries or concerns.

The kitchen works which began at Gladstone Avenue last year are nearing completion and are expected to finish in the coming weeks. We will be in touch with the next group of residents who are waiting for their kitchen works within the next few weeks to discuss the scope and dates.

With support from the Equans team, crowds of local residents joined to celebrate the 140th birthday party for the Noel Park Estate.

Equans' Social Value Manager, Mark Bush was pleased to support local community group, Noel Park Big Local in organising the birthday celebrations and on Sunday 16th July, local residents came together to celebrate 140 years since the official opening of the estate in 1883.

The celebration which was held at Russell Park was a free one day festival to provide local residents with a family day including live music, food activities and of course a celebration of the past and future of Noel Park. The festival also featured an inflatable games area, information village, a mini olympics for young people as well as community leaders and community stalls.

As well as Equans staff volunteering their time on the day, prior to the event, Equans also provided Emergency First Aid training for volunteers attending the festival.

"Thanks for everyone's help on the day, it was a great event for the community to enjoy. We are currently completing works at the estate on behalf of Haringey Council and we're pleased to support local community projects as part of our social value offer." Mark Bush, Social Value Manager at Equans

Today marks the first delivery of one of our double storey modular pods.

The day was a great success with the pod delivered and installed safely.
