WATERLOO AND QUEEN STREET REGENERATION LOCAL RESIDENT LETTER
June 2022
Thanks to all of you that were able to attend the meeting on Thursday 16 th June at the Salvation Army, Romford. The meeting gave an update on progress and, as always, provided an opportunity to raise any questions or concerns to the joint venture team from Havering Council and Wates Residential. Below is a summary of the questions raised and the actions taken. Residents said Vibration and piling and transparency of comms Light outside 18 Cotleigh Road still to be addressed Controlled Parking Zone
Question about any planned noisy works and how residents will be notified about the next stages of planned works Question about installing dummy cameras on the church hoarding to help with antisocial behaviour Question about the ‘mound’ on site Continued monitoring of dust and noise
Agreed actions/update/details
Other notes
The Wates Construction Team confirmed there were no machines working adjacent to the Cotleigh Road back gardens at the time in question. Any further issues, please do let Neil Shaftain know immediately. This issue will be resolved within the next three weeks with the installation of shields fitted to the lights
Neil’s details are at the bottom of the newsletter
The estate currently falls within the ROST permit area, however the current thinking is that the redeveloped estate will have its own CPZ area. This will ensure future residents are not able to park on surrounding roads. We will continue to notify residents about any excessively noisy work that is planned to take place. This will be done by Paul Dwyer via the WhatsApp chat.
New signage has been ordered along with several other antisocial behavior deterrents to that location Paul Dwyer will speak to the Community Safety team to see what other options might be available
The surplus material has now been removed, so the mound has gone. The crushed concrete used for the piling mat has been treated with an environmentally friendly silicone-like material and will be monitored and reapplied as necessary Environmental Health (EH) have apparently posted a dust sensor on lamppost according to residents and Paul Walker will speak with the EH team
Please flag any ongoing issues with Neil Shaftain or Paul Dwyer.
Continued overleaf… Residents

Security contact details for noticeboard - Wates will make sure more of these signs are put up across the perimeter of the site.

Mean while use
The meeting endorsed the proposals for meanwhile use that were discussed. We have already contacted a landscape designer to look at possible designs for the garden and we expect to have some options for the community garden in the next few weeks.
Any instances of suspected criminal activity should be reported directly to the Police by calling 999. If residents report issues/crimes to the Police it will help to build a case for more support/patrols in the area.

Please let Paul Dwyer know if this is of interest to you
