Resident update - 15th May

Welcome to your fortnightly update from Equans. This is a great way for us to keep you up to date with all the work that has been going on so far and what we expect to achieve going forward.

If you have any queries about the works being undertaken by Equans, please direct your query to your appointed Resident Liaison Officer, Trevon Mengot by calling 07811704593.

As you will be aware, Equans has been appointed by Southern Housing to replace cladding and associated fire remediation works at Whytecliffe Road.

Works update:

• Scaffold to the rear of the building is complete - this includes a Haki staircase and hoist
• Scaffold erection to the side elevation has started and should be completed within the next two weeks
• Lightening rods on the fifth level balconies have been removed to allow stripping of panels and cladding removal - we have also started to remove cladding at the rear of the building
• All call points, fire extinguishers and power on each scaffold floor at the front of the building is now live and fully operational

Monthly residents meeting: We would like to invite you to our next residents meeting taking place on 8th June on Microsoft Teams from 6pm - we will send you a link.

Reminder: Please can all residents refrain from throwing cigarette butts over the balcony as it lands on the scaffold which is a fire hazard. If this behaviour continues, we will be forced to send out personal letters to those residents where we find the cigarette butts and also inform Southern Housing.
