Looking ahead at Silchester

As many of our residents will know, our Major works team have been busy preparing to undertake a mammoth refurbishment project on the Silchester Estate.

The team have a big ask ahead of them and are determined to make these much-needed improvements to ensure our residents live in the safest and most cost-efficient homes possible. 

Most recently we have joined forces with Equans; the Contractor who will be carrying out the extensive work, some of which will include: replacing roofs and windows, repairs to the outside surfaces, laying new balcony flooring, and redecorating the communal areas both inside and out. This is just a small snippet of what the team are looking to undertake. 

We want to say a huge thank you to all residents who have given up their time to be involved in the project so far, whether this be attending meetings with the team, meeting with Councillors, or helping us to select Equans as the main contractor.

Lead Member for Housing Management, Housing Safety and Building New Homes, Councillor Sof McVeigh said

We are looking forward to working with Equans to deliver over 300 refurbished homes for our residents on the Silchester Estate. It is vital that residents are brought along on this journey with us to ensure we are delivering more modern and energy-efficient homes"

We hope to continue to working successfully with you all as the work continues.
