Wimpey One Estate Major progress!

Firstly let me advise residents that I have been communicating with Essex and Suffolk Water over the leaking water pump, that has allowed the germination of algae on the floor of the divide between 1- 6 Birch court and the adjoining flats which it serves. The leak in the pump has left residents of these flats with low water pressure and the potential for water contamination and spread of waterborne diseases at the location of the leak such as Leptospirosis (Weils disease) a consequence of rat urine. Essex Water offered to inspect the location in an email today which I forwarded to London and Quadrant and I received an unflattering response from Winchester property suggesting a part required for the repair of the system is already ordered from Germany.

I am pleased, however, that we have had this response in relation to my request to Essex and Suffolk Water (ESW) for an inspection. If repairs have not been completed in a month I will chase up ESW again for an option for a quicker resolution as it has been purported that this concern has been present for over 2 years.

Secondly, it was not the Wombles of Wimbledon that removed the TESCO Trolley from the fore of 1-6 Birch Court it was the Chowdhry of Chadwell Heath who requested a removal by the Tesco removal service. They can be contacted in future by telephoning or email:

tescodirect@tesco.co.uk or telephone 08456 779 298

Finally I copy you into a recent correspondence from Natalie Fulk from Taylor Wimpey:

“Please find attached layout of the above development showing the areas of roads and footpaths that are to be transferred to London Borough of Redbridge once adoption has been completed. We have carried out a full inspection of all adoptable lighting (shown as green dots numbered 1-22) and now believe that there are only 3 that are not working – No’s 2, 5 and 20. These all require works from EDF which I am currently sourcing and pricing. I will confirm to you once these are working.

With regard to the sewer adoption, we hope to have a successful inspection with Thames Water before the end of April – again, I will inform you once the vesting certificate has been issued. The road adoption will only be completed once the vesting certificate for the sewers has been received and London Borough of Havering have confirmed they are satisfied with all adoptable aspects of the development – this includes street lighting.

Please be aware that any areas of lighting not shown on this plan is not the responsibility of the company and will fall under private land or that which is the responsibility of the Management Company.” (Click to see map)

  1. Thanks for keeping us updated and informed.With regards to the to the lighting that would be adopted by the Borough of Redbridge,No's 1-22 and if the numbering is correct I believe No's 13 and 14 along Sherman Gardens are not working. Hopefully all these necessary works that have been flag up over the past weeks will be carried out soon.
