SUMMARY:February Steering Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the residents steering group. It is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. The steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \nMeeting held on  \nMonday 8th February starting at 7.00pm  \n(via Google) \n MINUTES \n  \n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\n  \nRon Greenwood (RG) \nWilliam Owen (WO) \nCarol Squires (CS) \nJohn Morris \nCllr Clare Potter \nCllr Brian Bell \n11 residents\nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nLB Hackney (Cllr) \nLB Hackney (Cllr)\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n  \n1.1\n  \nThe meeting was chaired by Cllr Potter. \n  \nApologies were received from Hana Chambers\, Peter Sim and Alfred Fiorentini. \n \n \n\n\n2.0\nNotes of previous meeting held 14th December 2020 and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n \n\n\n  \n2.1\n  \nThe minutes from the last meeting were agreed as accurate. All matters arising to be discussed on agenda. \n \n \n\n\n3.0\nPhase 3 & 4 \n \n\n\n  \n3.1\n  \nProgramme update – RG \n  \nThree tenders were submitted by the deadline: midday today (8th Feb). The next month will be spent evaluating the tenders with a scheduled tender report to be written by 8th March. The quantitative part (pricing) is being assessed by QS and Potter Raper\, the LBH Employers Agent. The qualitative parts break down into: programming proposals\, resourcing\, risk mitigation\, site logistics\, design integrity\, community engagement and local employment and training opportunities. \n  \nWO has set up a meeting on 16th Feb for the resident reps who will evaluate some of these items. \n  \nLBH would still like to arrange visits to tenderers’ sites but ongoing restrictions mean this will have to wait until March/April. \n  \nThere will be an internal moderation meeting on 25th Feb. to review the final qualitative scores. \n  \nA negotiation period of 9 weeks is in place if bids are non compliant in any way or come in over budget. This period will take until approx. mid June if needed. There will then be a report to Cabinet written while the leaseholder S20 process runs its course. A Cabinet approval will be subject to the S20 consultation process. \n  \nNC asked if this meant that the whole process is still on track to meet expected deadlines.  RG replied that the 9 week negotiation period should allow for delays to be minimised. \n  \nCP asked if everything was likely to be agreed by the end of summer. RG – hopefully and\, if so a start on site date of December 2021 should be achievable. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.2\n  \nResident Evaluation Panel \n  \nWO reported that an e mail has gone out to all on the evaluation panel with a Confidentiality Agreement. WO urged all to fill their names in on the electronic versions asap and return to him as he cannot share the tender docs. until this has been done.  JM confirmed the Panel as Emley\, Peter D\, Peter A\, Jill\, Karsten and Jo. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.3 \n \n  \nRespite Centre  \n  \nWO led on this item. It is generally agreed that the Respite Centre for phase 1&2 was inadequate. More people are now working from home but does LBH ask contractors to provide sleeping facilities? LBH have no fixed ideas on what the Respite Centre should consist of but contractors will want to provide one in order to qualify for the Considerate Constructors Scheme Award. So\, questions WO was interested in getting answers to include: \n·       what should a Respite Centre provide? \n·       what are the different needs on phase 3&4 c/w 1&2? \n·       where should a centre be located? \n·       how can users make the most of it? \n·       how will it be managed? How will a booking system work? \n  \nJWM made the point that in phase 1&2\, the centre was on site and therefore\, it provided little respite and there was little uptake. So location this time should be a prime consideration. It needs to be near but off the estate. \nAA stated that in the summer with windows open it is noisy in normal times. \nCP suggested that the Green Lanes/Queens Drive corner where DZ6S will be built would be a possible site. JWM thought this was still close to Weston Court\, where the noisiest works are likely. \nEP didn’t realise there was a Respite Centre available in phase 1&2 so good publicity for the one on phase 3&4 will be crucial. It should be something that can be used at short notice. Could local cafes or soft play areas be subsidised by the contractor to provide space for those seeking respite? It would be good if individuals who wish to do some work away from home could sit in a café without having to buy lots of expensive coffee! \nJWM proposed the idea of the reservoir centre as a location where people could use rooms to work in or have meetings. Could a shuttle bus be provided to transport people there and back? PA said he would be prepared to walk up to the reservoirs if necessary. He also observed that the centre in phase 1&2 was not very big. It would also need a good internet connection. \nCP suggested a survey to assess the numbers of night workers in order to inform the decision on providing sleeping facilities. RG thought the contractor’s Resident Liaison Officer would be tasked with getting this sort of information. \nJG emphasised the number of people working from home\, so in her view\, this would likely be the main focus. WO asked if people were likely to be happy to work immediately alongside others\, or require separate rooms. JG said she’d rather work in the company of others than try to work in a very noisy environment. \nKH asked when the noisy work is likely to start. RG replied that this depends on the contractor’s programming but that good advanced notice will be required. \nES asked if contractors will be allowed to work at weekends. RG – it will be for Building Control to decide but the expectation is that work will only be carried out Mon – Fri. CP recalled that Higgins did work some Saturdays in phase 1&2 to catch up on the programme. JWM confirmed that some Saturday work did take place inside buildings during the 2nd fix period. \n \n \n\n\n4.0\nUnit C update\n \n\n\n  \n4.1\n  \nWO reported that the 3 tenders received for the refit were all over budget but a productive meeting with Hackney Showroom and the TRA had resulted in a revised and cheaper brief. The 3 new tenders are expected back tomorrow (9th Feb). If work can start in late March\, there should be completion in June. Part of the extra time delay will depend on contractor availability.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.0\nPhase 1 & 2 remaining items\n \n\n\n  \n5.1\n  \nRG gave an update: \nPaving: LBH need to establish whether Higgins have now finished the works that comprise their commitments. \nCCTV to bike stores: a quote for installation is with the CCTV team which is likely to be accepted. The installation will take approx. 3 or 4 weeks and they are waiting for an indication of when this can start. \nLifts: a quote is being reviewed for an independent consultant to inspect and do a report on the two worst affected blocks – Kimpton and Sandon. \n  \nMain front doors: a sub contractor will remove the superfluous handle \nLatent defects records: a meeting with Higgins has been arranged to make sure that all defects reported directly to Higgins are known to LBH and have been dealt with. \n  \nFollow up questions: \nNJ asked if there is going to need to be ongoing fixes to the paving that could have an impact on future service charges. RG – the meeting with Higgins will hopefully resolve if any outstanding issues are latent defects or now repairs \nES asked if this includes future treatments to the paving and also who is paying for the lift consultant. Could they include Radwell in their investigation? \nKH asked that Wallington lift also be included. He also reported that there are still other defects outstanding. \nRG added that it will becoming increasingly difficult to claim future repairs to paving are defects; the new sealant shouldn’t fail again. \nAA reported that there are several issue with her flat and block; damp causing mould and door locks broken. RG and CP suggested taking these issues off line. AA to contact CP for follow up. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRG to ask Bronwen and Employers Agent to include these two blocks in the lift analysis\n\n\n  \n5.2\n  \nPost Occupancy Evaluation (POE) \n  \nWO emphasised that the POE survey is not primarily intended to resolve defects but rather as a lessons learnt exercise to inform future regen. However\, LBH do still want to gather information on what is still outstanding. WO asked for any views on the survey form. \nCP thought it looked well laid out and stated that it is important that as many people as possible are encouraged to complete it. \nWO – it can be filled in on line as a test by anyone wanting to check how it works and then the form will be deleted. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nTRA update  \n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nEP reported that the TRA and Hackney Showroom are discussing how to spend a budget of £3k that needs to used by end March. Proposals they are looking at include: a Zoom art project\, a Zoom quiz evening (with drag host) and assistance with a BLM film project. There are also Spring gardening events planned. The next meeting date is TBA. \n \n \n\n\n7.0\nUpdate from ITLA\n \n\n\n  \n7.1\n  \nCS gave an update: \n·       we have continued to support leaseholders throughout the S20 process\, \n·       liaised with Annette Reid on vulnerable residents\, noting that there have been several bereavements over the last few months\, \n·       we circulated a flier inviting residents to get in touch if needed \n·       we await news on 15th Feb about whether some relaxation of restrictions may make it possible to resume some appointments in the community centre \n \n  \n \n\n\n8.0\nSection 20 issues \n \n\n\n  \n8.1\n  \nRG reported that there had been 3 more one to one meetings with leaseholders\, to follow the 7 meetings held on 10/12/20. The next steps are: 2nd stage S20 ‘Notice of Proposal’ with details of the successful contractor with individual\, per flat costings and a 30 day consultation period; a 3rd stage ‘Notice of intention to carry out qualifying works’ with more specific details of works proposed and costs\, again with a 30 day consultation period.   Leaseholders have been made aware of repayment options. The upcoming newsletter will remind residents what is being proposed in the refurbishment programme. \nEP expressed concern that the strength of feeling about the costs has been judged by LBH in the light of the numbers attending the surgeries (10). In fact the leaseholders whatsapp group has 34 members.  RG stressed that the consultation is not over. \nEP was also concerned that non residents are disadvantaged as the backdated cut off date of 28th May gave them no opportunity to return as residents or to change plans. She pointed out that there are no non resident owners on the RSG to articulate their concerns. Many do not receive mail from their tenants. RG noted that non resident leaseholders are obliged to inform LBH Leasehold Services of forwarding addresses. \nRG reminded the meeting that the default position is that all leaseholders are charged the full recharge amount; the current arrangements are a variation to this. LBH dispute that a 10k cap was promised to all leaseholders. \nEP asked when the stage 2 Notice will be issued. RG – when LBH are in a position to accept a tender and while the internal approval process is progressing. If September 2021 is the aim for Cabinet approval\, then this will be the time when the Stage 2 Notice will be issued. \nJG asked if there is anything the Leaseholder group can do now or do they have to wait until the Stage 2 Notice consultation? RG – comments should be lodged at the time of the Stage 2 Notice. LBH can’t do anything with the representations being made now. \nJG asked if there was an update on the buyback option. RG – those interested should contact him and he will approach Simon Theobald (LBH Director of Finance) who will arrange for a valuation visit. \n \n \n\n\n9.0\nAny urgent business\n \n\n\n  \n9.1\n  \nEP raised mould issues in the southside blocks. Will the major repairs deal with these?  RG – the 5 or 6 worst affected properties will have passive ventilation measures installed and the roof insulation\, new windows and cladding of the undercrofts should improve thermal efficiency. CP has been closely involved in these issues through casework and is keen to see how these measures will improve the situation. \n \n \n\n\n  \n9.2\n  \nES raised the £750 fee that sellers have to pay to have fire insurance cover confirmed.  RG – this is out of LBH hands as the insurance industry has reacted to new legislation in an extreme way. \n \n \n\n\n10.0\nDate of next meeting \n \n\n\n  \n10.1\n  \nWeek commencing 22nd March (probably 22nd as this is the Monday) To be confirmed next week. \n \n \n\n\n\n  \n  \nAGENDA \n\n\n\n\nAgenda item \nLead \n\n\n1\nIntroductions and Apologies \n \nCllr Bell (Chair) \n \n\n\n2\nNotes of previous meeting held 14th December 2020 and any matters arising not elsewhere on the agenda \n \nCllr Bell (Chair)\n\n\n3\nPhase 3 & 4 \n  \n(a)   Update on progress and next steps \n(b)   Respite centre (feedback exercise) \n \nRon (LBH)\n\n\n4\nUnit C update \n \nWill (LBH)\n\n\n5\nPhase 1 & 2 \n  \n(a)   Update on progress and next steps \n(b)   Post occupancy survey (feedback exercise) \n \n  \n  \nRon (LBH) \nWill (LBH)\n\n\n6 \n \nTRA update \n \nEmley (TRA Chair)\n\n\n7\nITLA update \n \nSource\n\n\n8\nSection 20 update\nRon (LBH) \n \n\n\n9\nAny urgent business \n \nCllr Bell (Chair) \n \n\n\n10\nDate of next meeting \n \nCllr Bell (Chair) \n

SUMMARY:ETRA meeting January 2021
DESCRIPTION:This ‘Enhanced Tenants & Residents Association’ (ETRA) ‘meeting is a chance for residents to speak to Hackney representatives about issues on the estate e.g. cleaning\, repairs\, antisocial behaviour.  \nETRA meetings happen on a quarterly basis in January\, April\, July & October \nOn Zoom only due to Covid-19 restrictions \nThe zoom link for this meeting will be emailed to all who request it (email kingscrescentn4@gmail.com) \n  \nMinutes\nChair – Emley Pine (resident and chair of Kings Crescent TRA committee) \n\n\n\nIn attendance:\nJohn Morris\nConsultant at Source Partnership/ Independent Resident Advisor\n\n\n \nDeborah Noel\nASB Manager for the North of Hackney (Hackney)\n\n\n \nWilliam Owen\nProject Officer Regeneration (Hackney)\n\n\n \nCllr Clare Potter\nCouncillor Brownswood Ward\n\n\n \nAnnette Reid (AR)\nHousing Officer for Kings Crescent Estate (Hackney)\n\n\n \nBianca Rembrandt\nCommunity Safety and Principal Enforcement Officer (Hackney)\n\n\n\nBronwen Thomas (BT)\nProject Officer Regeneration (Hackney)\n\n\n \n13 residents\n(including 5 TRA committee members)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nAction \n \nOwner\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\n \n \n\n\n \nAlice proposes to accept the minutes from the last ETRA meeting (Oct 2020) as they have been shared\, Bronwen seconds. \nThere are no objections. \n \n \n \n\n\n2\nUpdate on Older Blocks & Wider Estate\n \n \n\n\n \n  \nUpdate on action points from last meeting: \nBollards have been fixed in the play street. \nThe cleaning team has posted a list of what they do weekly in the notice boards in each of the blocks. \n  \nNoise in the courtyard:  AR engaged with the resident participation team and it was agreed that this was a Covid-19 issue and so she will only monitor but no actions will be taken. She asks that people continue to report if the noise becomes an issue. A resident highlights that this is a recurring issues which comes every summer. AR reiterates that people should report if the noise becomes an issue. \n  \nBins: AR has posted a notice in each block kindly asking residents to dispose of their waste in the right fashion. \n\n\n\nInstall signs to deter motorcyclist to use the play street\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBT\n\n\n\n  \nPlay Street – 3 no entry signs promised but never delivered: BT explains that it was decided that there were enough negative signs on the estate and that because there were less reports of vehicles using the play street then no further actions would be taken. A resident confirms there are still numerous motorcycles using the play street. BT agrees to look into this further. \n  \nImpact of cyberattack: A request was made by AH for Hackney to provide an update on what data has been compromised as a result of the cyberattack? AR invite residents who have any questions about the cyberattack to visit: https://hackney.gov.uk/service-status \n \n \n \n\n\n3\nLeaseholder concerns\n \n \n\n\n \n  \nService charges (NB: this covered all parts of the estate) – Starting from 2020\, some residents from the TRA are given early sight of the Service Charges amounts with some additional breakdown to give initial feedback ahead of being shared more widely with all residents. AH (one of these TRA volunteers) explains that when the service charges are first released (to those who are asked to comment before they are issued to all residents) there is a good engagement from Hackney but after questions are raised\, Hackney never really gets back to them. AR asked AH to send the name of the contact person to confirm that the questions are going to the right person. \n  \nCap removed for some leaseholders in the Southside blocks due to be refurbished in next phase:  EP (resident) explains that Hackney has removed the £10k cap for some leaseholders and introduced a clawback mechanism. The cap had been promised to leaseholders on the cost of the refurbishment on the southern block. A group of leaseholders has been formed. If anyone wants to join\, they can email the TRA at KingsCrescentN4@gmail.com to be put in touch with the group. \nNo one from Hackney is present to respond to these concerns. \n \n\n\n\n\nAR to provide contact name  to AH for service charges concerns\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4\nHeating costs in Newer Blocks\n \n \n\n\n \n  \nAR and BT have started the conversation with the different teams within Hackney who deal with this. The Energy Team should eventually contact residents. \nIt is agreed that the TRA should see this letter (this is the action mentioned in several previous meetings which attempts to explain the overall cost structure of the Insite Heating & explain how Hackney has delivered “value for money” for residents) before it is issued to make sure that it answers residents’ concerns. \n \nShare the letter from the Energy Team with the TRA before it is issued to the rest of the residents\nEnergy Team \nBT \nAR\n\n\n5\nUpdate on Issues in Newer Blocks\n \n \n\n\n \n  \nUpdate on list of all defects recently handed over from Higgins to Hackney – The list has been handed over and BT is going through it. It is a big document. \nPost-occupancy survey of residents – The primary aim of this survey is to inform the next development phases but as Hackney is now aware of the list of pending defects from Higgins it may also be used to identify what ongoing defect issues there are within the new builds. \nUpdate with ongoing issues: \nBT apologies about the fact that it is taking time to resolve some of these issues and explains that this is because it is not always clear who should fix them between Higgins who should deal with defect issues and Hackney who deals with the “normal” day-to-day problems. \nBroken doors – Handles should be replaced by Hackney (not Higgins) in the coming months. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFire access key misuse & related parcel theft & ASB – A box with a more secure lock should be installed over these fire access key. The fire brigade has confirmed this is in line with the fire safety requirements. A resident highlights that this was supposed to be solved by August 2019. BT agrees to try to have a definitive date for the work by the end of next week. BR highlights that a members inquiry could be raised. Clare Potters agrees to raise the inquiry. \nIt was noted that the length of time for this to be solved is unacceptable and that the easy access into buildings is a source of worry for residents. There have also been incidences of physical harm when residents have challenged people in a block who don’t belong. A resident highlighted that for issues which put people’s safety at risk\, a quicker response from Hackney would be expected. \nSlippery courtyard – Cleaning and sealing has been “done” by Higgins but it appears that some areas have not been done properly. BT is looking into this. \nPossible CCTV for bike stores – The CCTV team is currently working on this but no timeframe is available. The CCTV should cover the internal bike stores and the external ones. \nLifts continuing to break – Issues in Sandon\, Kimpton and Radwell – BT is commissioning surveys to confirm if the lifts were installed properly or not. If they were not\, Higgins will be responsible to find a long-term solution. \nMismatched paint used in communal areas – This may have to be done in the next cycle of maintenance. These cycles are 7-10 year long. \n \nBT \n  \nCP\nFind what date those safety boxes will be installed \nRaise a member’s inquiry\n\n\n6\nCommunity Safety \n \n \n\n\n \n  \nBR has been looking at CCTV after a few incidents. She highlights that some residents are not careful in regard to shutting the door behind them. She has also noticed there are a lot of people (non-residents) who appears to be looking into the buildings. She repeats that putting frosting on windows to reduce temptation is an option she is looking into. \n  \nDN explains that residents should always contact the ASB team as a first point of contact (as well as the police if it is a crime) when witnessing ASB. Once this is done\, a case officer will be assigned to the case and will keep the resident informed on what is happening with that case. \nA resident says she contacted the ASB team prior to Christmas but no one has come back to them.

SUMMARY:December Steering Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the residents steering group. It is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. The steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \nMinutes \n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\nCllr. Brian Bell  (BB) (Chair) \nCllr Clare Potter (CP) \nRon Greenwood (RG) \nWilliam Owen (WO) \nCarol Squires (CS) \nJohn Morris \n  \n9 resident RSG members\n  \n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n  \n1.1\n  \nApologies were received from JWM and NC. \n \n \n\n\n2.0\nNotes of previous meeting held 9th November 2020 and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n \n\n\n  \n2.1\n  \nThe minutes from the last meeting were agreed as accurate. \n \n \n\n\n3.0\nPhase 3 & 4 \n \n\n\n  \n3.1\n  \nProgramme update -RG \n  \nThe three bidding contractors were shown round the estate on 8th Dec. Particular thanks to Menekse for allowing them into her flat. It’s likely that there will be another chance for them to visit the boiler room and the underground car park in the new year. All contractors were very positive and one said they had visited the estate 12 times. Therefore LBH are expecting very thorough submissions. LBH hope to arrange visits to tenderer’s schemes In late Jan/early Feb.  WO will co-ordinate RSG involvement in the evaluation during February. \n  \nThe tender period has been extended by 2 weeks in order to give the bidders time to put together a fully compliant bid; the LBH tender portal experienced problems with the amount of information uploaded onto it.  Therefore\, return date for tenders is now 8/2/21. RG confirmed that he will post the Social Value statement to the portal 15/12. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.2\n  \nMaterials workshop \n  \nUnfortunately the planned workshop to demonstrate some of the materials specified was not able to take place because of the latest lockdown in November. A newsletter from LBH will now go out in January giving details again of the phase 3 & 4 proposals. RG apologised for the delay. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.3 \n \n  \nFollow up questions \n  \nJG asked if there was a process for residents not on the RSG to see the tenders. RG explained that only the sub group of residents who volunteered to evaluate some of the qualitative elements would be able to see the relevant sections of the documents and they would be required to sign confidentiality agreements. \nEP – a lot of people may not have seen the design images. Will all residents get the newsletter? RG – yes. \nEP also asked if there will be any opportunity for changing materials or colours at this stage. RG explained that the only way changes to these items might now be made would be if the budget did not allow for a particular specification. ES added that the planning consultation would have been the time when residents could have influenced changes. \n \n \n\n\n4.0\nLeaseholder recharge proposals and FAQs\n \n\n\n  \n4.1\n  \nRG reported on the leaseholder surgeries that were held on 10th December. 7 appointments were made and very strong views were expressed\, particularly from those who wished to sell now. RG stressed the LBH regeneration strategy of trying to achieve parity between existing and new build residents and the Council’s desire to specify high quality materials that have a higher capital cost now but which will have a lower long term maintenance cost. The surgeries confirmed the Council’s repayment options. In response to one leaseholder raising the option of the Council buying their flat back\, RG made further enquiries with colleagues. LBH does have a programme of buy backs and a report will go to Cabinet in January to request approval of a budget for this for 2021/22. It ought to be possible to offer this option to some KC leaseholders\, subject to valuations. A Council valuer could start to make appointments as early as Jan 2021. The Council will be writing to all leaseholders about this response to the surgeries. This approach would also benefit the Council by releasing properties that could be relet to secure tenants. \n  \nBB invited comments and questions but emphasised the need to stick to the overall policy impact and not to bring up personal concerns. \n  \nJG asked for clarification of the buy back option. RG replied that it is a borough-wide fund and will be subject to Cabinet approval in January. \n  \nJG recorded the general feeling of shock amongst leaseholders at the level of possible recharges and noted that a buy back policy might well help in particular non-resident owners. RG emphasised that it will be a specified pot of funding so will not be a limitless fund. \n  \nCS noted that there may well be many other leaseholders in addition to the 7 who came to the surgeries who would benefit from this and who also may have concerns\, so it will be important to set a clear priority for applicants. RG acknowledged that prioritising will be a challenge and that LBH will need to establish the rules before formally offering the option. BB added that KC will be in competition with the rest of the borough for this funding. \n  \nNJ asked if a resident who is a tenant of an absentee owner would have to leave if the flat was bought back. RG – yes but they could apply for social rent housing\, although the resulting vacant flat would be allocated to a family in priority need of accommodation. \n  \nEP asked if this was a short term solution. RG replied that it could be a longer term programme of buy backs\, subject to funding availability. \n  \nES asked if a new secure tenant would be able to buy the flat. RG to check but probably\, yes\, subject to standard criteria for length of residency etc. CP pointed out that discounts for RTB are not as generous as they used to be so there is less incentive to exercise RTB. \n  \nNJ noted the possible impact this will have on community cohesion as some people are forced to leave. CP noted that numbers involved will be quite small and it could be that non-residents are prioritised. \n  \nJG thought this would be positive for non-resident leaseholders faced with a potential £80k bill. BB’s view is that non-resident owners should pay in full and they should not be the priority for any very limited funding for buybacks. \n  \nCP made the point that values of properties will increase as a result of the refurbishment works. \n  \nJG asked that the whole issue of recharges is approached sensitively as it is an emotive subject for many. \n  \nEP noted that most owners are ‘ordinary’ people (not rich landlords) and that the bill and the arrangements were sprung on them. RG reminded the meeting of the sliding scale of charging and that there are two further stages of consultation next year as part of the S20 process. \n  \nEP queried whether this was in fact a consultation. RG replied that LBH had made this overall estimate of possible recharge levels in response to requests from the first stage of the S20 process\, rather than waiting for stages 2 and 3 when estimates are usually produced for the first time. \n  \nEP asked what the ongoing consultation can achieve. For instance\, can some of the design proposals be amended to save some money? RG repeated that the regen. will benefit the estate and its residents and add value to properties. There will be a positive impact on the external appearance and the public realm will improve. EP – some dispute this. \n  \nRG challenged this assumption and asked if EP thought that values would decrease. EP thought that it was difficult to argue that values would increase by £80k. She re-emphasised the request that conversations around the size of the bill should be dealt with sensitively.  RG reminded the meeting of the repayment options and that the LBH Leasehold Team can consider genuine financial hardship on individual cases. \n  \nKH asked what the £80k represents as a proportion of the property value and would the recharge be adjusted if property values decreased (so the recharge becomes a higher % of the total value). RG explained that the charges are calculated as an apportionment of the costs applicable for leaseholders to pay over the whole scheme; it’s not linked to existing property values. RG added the point that as values are likely to increase\, the proportion represented by the recharge figure will decrease. \n  \nCS made the point that there needs to be ongoing discussions. For many leaseholders who regard their flat as their permanent home for life\, this is an excellent deal. RG added that the current arrangements are unique to Kings Crescent\, not offered to any other LBH estate. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.0\nUnit C update\n \n\n\n  \n5.1\n  \nWO reported that tenders should be received on Friday with evaluation scheduled for January. \n  \nBB asked about a target date for completion. \n  \nRG suggested that an optimistic date would be end of March\, probably April. The main delay will be Building Control approving the ventilation arrangements. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nPhase 1 & 2 remaining items \n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nEP asked how the review of documents with Higgins was going. RG reported that discussions had been very challenging.  This is now not Higgins’ top priority to deal with. LBH hope to get more information from further post-occupancy evaluation surveys. More detail will hopefully be available at the next RSG. \n  \nAA sought confirmation that residents will have the opportunity to give feedback. RG confirmed that surveys will be co-ordinated in the new year and the survey form will be brought to the next RSG. \n  \nRG noted that the issues are now only around the latent defects that affect all the northside blocks. \n  \nKH asked if some of the defects are covered by the 10 year NHBC guarantee and if LBH are aware of issues that fall in this category. Could LBH check if the NHBC guarantee is appropriate? \n  \nES raised the issue of entrance doors that have had new fittings that are inappropriate for the design consistency of the rest of the building. E.g. a new handle has been fitted on one block that is out of keeping with the look of the other doors. More substandard additions seem to be appearing as time goes on.  RG could only comment that these were approved by the LBH design team. \n  \nEP is meeting Bronwen before the January TRA meeting to go over outstanding defects. She is frustrated because nothing seems to get resolved. Is it possible to sign off the things that have been sorted out so that the outstanding items can be properly dealt with? \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n7.0\nTRA update  \n \n\n\n  \n7.1\n  \nEP reported that there was a productive meeting 2 weeks ago to discuss community and social initiatives. The TRA has £3k unspent from the LBH Community Development Fund. Some ideas that emerged from the meeting were: support for a local resident film maker who is making a film about BLM – she requested some money to pay extras (who could be local  people)\, Zoom art sessions\, a gardening event and art ‘safari’ around the estate. There is also still a budget for the summer party that had to be postponed. \n \n \n\n\n8.0\nUpdate from ITLA\n \n\n\n  \n8.1\n  \nCS gave an update: we have been supporting many leaseholders\, some with in depth advice and information. We attended the surgeries and are continuing ongoing discussions with some. Leasehold Services were helpful; it’s worth continuing to engage positively with leaseholders. \n  \nWe participated in the onsite visits with the tendering contractors. \n \n  \n \n\n\n9.0\nAny urgent business\n \n\n\n  \n9.1\n  \nNone \n \n \n\n\n10.0\nDate of next meetings \n \n\n\n  \n10.1\n  \n8th February 2021 at 7.00 via Google Meet \n \n \n\n\n\nThe agenda will be posted here when available and the minutes will be posted here after the meeting

SUMMARY:November Steering Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the residents steering group. It is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. The steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \n  \nMinutes\nNotes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 9th November 2020 via \nGoogle Meet \n  \n\n\n\nResidents Present:\n(EP) (Bramfield Court) \n(PD) (Datchworth Court) \n(ES) (Radwell Court) \nTD (Theobalds Court) \n \nJWM (Theobalds Court) \n(JG) (Theobalds Court) \n(AA) (Barley Court) \n(NC) (Kimpton Court) \nHC (Sandon Court) \n(PA) Weston Court) \n(NJ) (Sandon Court)\n\n\nIn Attendance:\nCllr.

Residents may have seen people walking round the estate from the bidding contractors but there should have been no knocking on doors. LBH have set aside times for escorted site visits between 7th and 12th Dec. One tenderer has asked to see the inside of a southside flat. RG is arranging this via Source. Anyone willing to allow a contractor to visit please contact CS or JM.  NB\, the inspection will be purely visual. \n  \nThe deadline for tender returns is now 25/1/21. Evaluation will be between 25/1/21 and 19/2/21. If the tender price of the successful contractor is beyond the LBH budget or there are other elements that need to be clarified\, a 9 week period for negotiation has been set aside. Best and final offer will be put to LBH Cabinet early summer 2021 with planned contract signing July. Mobilisation and satisfying some planning conditions will follow with start on site targeted currently for 23/11/21. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.2\n  \nTender evaluation and site visits \nDuring the evaluation period resident involvement in site visits to bidders’ other sites and evaluation of some of the qualitative sections of the brief will take place. These will include approaches to site logistics\, respite facilities\, road closures\, parking arrangements and community engagement. CP noted that a resident evaluation panel was agreed last time: Emley\, Jill\, Karsten\, Peter Akhurst and Jo. Possible Peter D. if a Datchworth resident was required. BB suggested paring down the numbers nearer the time if needed. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n  \n3.3\n  \nMaterials workshop \nThe materials workshop had to be put on hold with the new lockdown. There will now be a newsletter from LBH with a summary of the design information and contact for queries. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.4 \n \n  \nFollow up questions \nAA asked how many shortlisted contractors there are. \nRG – 3. \nAA also asked for clarification on the materials workshop. \nRG explained that the materials that would have been on display were examples of those specified already that were part of the planning application. The only forseen reason these might be changed is if there is an issue with supply. \nAA – will there be one principal contractor? \nRG – yes\, with sub contractors for various aspects of the works. \nNC asked about possible completion dates for the whole scheme. \nRG – approx. 3 years\, so possibly January 2025\, although refurbishment will be finished first \n \n \n\n\n4.0\nLeaseholder recharge proposals and FAQs\n \n\n\n  \n4.1\n  \nThe latest draft of the FAQ document from LBH Leasehold team was circulated on 6th Nov. BB stated that the purpose of this being an agenda item was to make sure that the arrangements are explained as properly and clearly as possible. \nNJ sought confirmation that this only applies to southside leaseholders. \nResponse – yes. \nEP asked how long it took to invoice the northside leaseholders given that LBH say final invoices are issued within 18 months of completion of works. \nRG – Leasehold Team should really deal with this but it can be emphasised that individual\, interim invoices will be sent out within 12 weeks of start on site which is when leaseholders should start to pay. \nEP asked about the situation if she wanted to sell her flat\, e.g. in early 2021\, i.e. after 28th May 2020 but before works start. \nRG – any seller’s enquiry would pick up the existence of the S20 notice and if there was no formal estimate of the full costs to the existing owner\, it would come down to a negotiation with the purchaser. \nJG – if it’s right that the cap cannot be passed onto an incoming purchaser\, this isn’t consistent with the aim to encourage a stable community at Kings Crescent. She felt it unfair to backdate the rule to this May. What is the justification for this? \nRG – Hackney wished to recognise the time that existing residents have spent waiting for the works to get underway\, so the cap arrangement was implemented. \nJG – we now have no options if we wish to move. \nRG – future purchasers would benefit from the added value of the refurbishment\, so the flats should hold their value. \nJG expressed disappointment at the approach\, having up to now felt positive about the RSG. \nRG replied that the arrangements took a lot of internal discussion within Hackney with a view to coming up with something that was fair. The rationale was set out in the Cabinet report. \nEP asked if someone was selling\, who is Hackney invoicing? \nRG – there would be a charge on the property and this would be disclosed at the point of the sale process. The exact cost will be clear at the time the interim invoice is issued. \nEP – so the understanding would be that the invoice goes to whoever is in ownership at that time? \nJG asked if this would be the first time leaseholders would know the exact full cost. \nRG replied that the 2nd stage S20 notice which is issued after the successful tender has been accepted would contain the first\, personalised notification of the recharge cost to each owner. \nBB emphasised that the cap is a huge benefit to those who get it but it comes at a significant cost to the overall scheme. \nEP raised the issue of the 2011 cap that apparently included major repairs to the southside blocks. This would mean that roofs and windows already paid for from that tranche of works should count towards the cap. \nRG clarified that these were paid for from a specific source of funding and a line was drawn under the costs. We are starting again to reflect a new set of circumstances. \n  \nPD asked if higher costs due to contractual variations that are not the contractor’s fault will be included in the cap. \nRG confirmed that the £10k cap remains in place for anyone qualifying. \nPD – so leaseholders are also protected against something that is not the client’s responsibility? \nRG – yes. \nPA asked if works that were carried out at the time of the Leaseholder Charter (when the £10k cap was first introduced) would be done again. We have already paid for some of the works. \nRG suggested bringing individual circumstances up in a surgery meeting when they are arranged. RG also apologised for the delivery of the notice concerning podium works which was a mistake. \nCP asked if there was a date yet for the surgeries to take place. \nRG – at the moment they are planned for w/c 7th December. \nCP added that concerns can still be raised with councillors or Source.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.0\nUnit C update\n \n\n\n  \n5.1\n  \nRG reported that unfortunately\, no tenders were received for the fit out work. It is likely that the complexity and amount of tender documentation was too great for the 3 companies invited to tender. \n  \nTwo more contractors have been identified and the retender period will now close on 10th December with a possible start on site date early in January. The works themselves should not take long but the process of getting sign off from Building Control will take some weeks\, so completion may be in March 2021. RG expressed confidence that there will be tenders returned this time\, including possibly from two new contractors. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nPhase 1 & 2 remaining items \n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nBB did not want to spend time in this meeting covering these issues again; they are being worked through within the Council and at ETRA meetings. \nEP asked if lessons had been learnt from the experience of many defects being reported directly to Higgins without LBH knowing. \nRG explained that the arms length arrangement with Higgins will not be repeated. Hackney will be marketing the open market sale homes themselves with a new in house team. \nLBH have only recently got full details of the defects from Higgins and these are being reviewed. Another post-occupancy survey will be carried out this winter and there will be time to transfer these lessons learnt to phases 3 & 4. \nES commented that the arrangement whereby defects were reported directly to the contractor was unconventional; it should have been to the Employer’s Agent/Client side. \nBB stressed that it is essential that this does not happen again. \n  \nRG advised that this is the understood procedure but that the process is often short cut. RG added that dealing with defects management is one of the questions to be evaluated in the current tender. \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n7.0\nTRA update  \n \n\n\n  \n7.1\n  \nEP gave an update. Homework Club started and has continued since the current lockdown with some one to one sessions and some done via Zoom. \nThe next general TRA meeting is on 2nd December. \nThere is still a significant sum available in the Community Development pot\, so the TRA would welcome ideas on how this could be spent. \nNJ expressed a huge thanks to Emley for her hard work and commitment\, which was endorsed by all. \n \n \n\n\n8.0\nUpdate from ITLA\n \n\n\n  \n8.1\n  \nCS reported that it has been frustrating to almost be in a position to resume face to face activities and then have another lockdown imposed.

SUMMARY:ETRA meeting October
DESCRIPTION:This ‘Enhanced Tenants & Residents Association’ (ETRA) ‘meeting is a chance for residents to speak to Hackney representatives about issues on the estate e.g. cleaning\, repairs\, antisocial behaviour.  \nETRA meetings happen on a quarterly basis in October\, January\, April and July \nMINUTES: \nETRA meeting 07 October 2020 7.00-9.00pm \nOn Zoom only\, due to Covid-19 restrictions \n*These minutes are a final draft to be approved at the next meeting in January* \nChair of meeting: Emley Pine \n  \n\n\n\nPresent:\n15 Residents of Kings Crescent Estate:\n\n\n\n(names removed in web version)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn attendance:\nDeborah Noel\nASB Manager for the North of Hackney (Hackney)\n\n\n\nCheryl Spruce\nNeighbourhood Watch\n\n\n\nAnnette Reid\nHousing Officer (Hackney)\n\n\n\nAndrea Scott\nArea Housing Manager Stoke Newington Area (Hackney)\n\n\n\nBilly Dunne\nCleaner Estate Team (Hackney)\n\n\n\nBronwen Thomas (BT)\nProject Officer Regeneration (Hackney)\n\n\n\nJohn Lonergan\nNew Build Team (Hackney)\n\n\n\nJohn Morris\nConsultant at Source Partnership\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nAction \n \nOwner\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\n\n\n\n\n \nApproval of minutes from last ETRA meeting (July 2020) \nAlice proposes to approve the minutes from the last ETRA meeting. \nBronwen seconds. No objections were raised. \n \n\n\n\n\n2\nCommunity Safety \n\n\n\n\n \nFor the update from Bianca Rembrandt\, refer to the Kings Crescent Estate’s website:  https:/2020/10/06/community-safety-update/ \n  \nDeborah explain how to report to the ASB Team: \nIf residents are victim of ASB\, the first point of contact is the ASB Team (except for the police if this is regarding a crime). \nThe ABS Hotline number is 020 8356 3310 and email is abs.housing@hackney.gov.uk \nThis is true even if the ASB is caused by non-residents. \nThe ASB team does not necessarily involve the police so residents should be comfortable to report issues caused by people with obvious mental health issues where the involvement of the police is not desirable. \nWhen reporting\, residents can request to be anonymous which means they will not be recontacted by the ASB Team afterwards. Anonymous or not\, all reports are confidential. \nThere is now a Neighbourhood’s Watch on the estate with over 30 members. Cheryl explains that by raising awareness\, crime decreases. If anyone wants to contact Cheryl\, use: cheryl.spruce@ourwatch.org.uk. \nAH asked if an update could be given following the closure order and Deborah confirmed that updates couldn’t be given on specific actions but did say that the closure order is in place until November 2020.\n\n\n\n\n3\nUpdate on Older Blocks & Wider Estate\n\n\n\n\n \nAndrea introduces herself. She has worked with Hackney for 15 years and knows the estate very well. She wants the transition from New Build to the Housing Team to go smoothly. \nIssues regarding what is covered by Higgins (original defects) are still dealt with by the New Build team but everything else is dealt with by the normal Hackney’s services. \nThe Housing Team is now in charge of the new development\, since the end of July 2020. Annette does a monthly inspection of the estate for fire hazard\, slip and trip hazard etc. (not cleaning inspection). This means Annette Reid is the Housing Officer covering both North and South sides of the estate. \n  \nUpdate on courtyard. \nDog nuisance: There is a Hackney-wide public consultation on what the “pet policy” should be. Everyone can access it online: www.consultation.hackney.gov.uk \nThe rules on pets are as in the rules and regulations\, these and the form to register a pet can be found : https://hackney.gov.uk/kings-crescent-estate \nNoise: The swing will not be removed unless it is dangerous. Noise is not a reason to remove play equipment. \n  \nIt was noted that the ongoing noise in the courtyard has continued to be an issue for some residents. There was some discussion on this across both residents and workers from Hackney\, recognising that it is a difficult issue. It was noted that play equipment is unlikely to be removed unless dangerous and that Hackney is moving away having signs (“no ball games”) across estates. It was also noted that when more activities are running in the Unit C space\, it is hoped that there will be less disruption from the children. \n  \nCouncil agreed to look at noise dampening measures such as trees. It was raised by a resident that the ‘football goal’ shaped structure encourages children to play ball games when this was not the intended use \n  \nAndrea also asked for Jill’s perspective on the noise of children playing & Jill confirmed this had not seemed a particular issue over the past summer in the south side of the estate near where Jill is based.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\nReview noise reduction options e.g. trees in courtyard and review ‘football goal’\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact the resident engagement team and ask them to contact the TRA with regards to the courtyard concerns and youth engagement\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\nAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4\nCleaning Issues\n\n \n\n\n \nBilly has gone through the cleaning complaints and most of them have been for bags on the floor in the bin stores. Billy needs more complaints if residents want him to deal with the issues. \nEmail: cleaner.estates@hackney.gov.uk and within 24 hours the problem should be solved. \nBilly explains that fingerprints in doors cannot be cleaned all day so residents should not expect these to disappear as quick as they appear.\nPut a list of what the cleaners do on the notice board. \n  \nArranging for signage to be placed inside the refuge storage areas (bin areas) in Kimpton Court reminding residents to dispose of their waste correctly. For example household waste and recycling should be disposed of appropriately.\nAR \n  \n  \n  \nAR\n\n\n5\nUpdate on Newer Blocks\n\n\n\n\n \no   Broken doors \nBronwen explains that all doors had new door closers installed. A contractor has done a full report of all doors and the New Build team will try to get Higgins to fix the issues highlighted in the report. \nIt was noted that there is a still an ongoing issue\, particularly for Kimpton Court. This is an issue Bronwen is aware of and a resolution is being progressed. \no   Fire access key misuse \nGarda boxes will be put over the fire access key holes. These have been ordered from the supplier and will be installed once they arrive. \no   Smoke vent alarms \nHiggins has agreed to get the original installer to come back and check those alarms. The smoke vents do work properly\, it is just the alarm that is faulty. Hackney is trying to get a third party to get a full review of these alarms. \no   Slippery courtyard \nThe sealant has been reapplied on the courtyard paving and Hackney will monitor the situation in the next few years. \no   Heating costs increase – competitive price? \nJohn Lonergan says the price of the heating is the price of the heating and there is nothing he can do about it. He is reminded that Hackney was supposed to send a letter to residents to explain how the cost is decided and how Hackney makes sure the prices are competitive. This \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nletter should also clarify if residents are paying twice for maintenance through service charges and again through the heating charges. \nAlice highlighted that this (a letter to all residents confirming how Hackney have determined the Insite charges are value for money) has been an outstanding action for some time and Annette/John L confirmed this would be reviewed by the New Build Team ahead of the next meeting. \nResidents have asked for a representative from the Energy Team to attend the next meeting or at least provide an update on the heating costs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\no Graffiti in lifts \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraffiti cannot be removed; the mirrors will need to be replaced. \no   Possible CCTV for bike stores \nA positive outcome in that new buildings in Hackney will have CCTV in bike stores. They are still deciding if it is possible to install in the existing bike stores. \no   Kimpton Court address did not register on emergency services system in June 2020 \nBronwen confirmed that previously all blocks have been confirmed as registered with the emergency services\, but confirmed that given this latest update\, this will be checked again. \no   Issue of broken window 11th floor Kimpton and other window issues \nA contractor is working on this. \no   Balcony doors… a resident has raised (ahead of this meeting) that their understanding is that building regulations show that the doors ought to be closable from the outside\, plus there have been several ongoing issues with broken balcony doors. \no   This was a new issue from the perspective of the New Build Team but Bronwen noted the additional information was helpful & would be used to follow-up further with Higgins and confirm what (if anything) will be done. \nThis has been raised with Higgins. Details are to come. \no   bike stores / bin stores… these have been either in a state of not locking (bikes) or not opening (bins) recently \nA contractor is working on this and dealt as part of the original defect. \no   Lifts continuing to break in Sandon\, previous issue in Kimpton and recent issues started in Radwell \nDealt with as part of the original defect\, New Build team is trying to have Higgins solve the issue. \no   Ongoing theft of parcels from lobby \nNo update\, refer to Bianca Rembrandt’s update on Kings Crescent Estate. This was not explicitly discussed in the meeting due to limited  time. \no   Mismatched paint used in communal areas \nHackney is working on trying to get this sorted.\nAsk the energy team to produce this letter and send to all residents. \nBronwen to continue to monitor issues and find permanent resolutions\nJL  & New Build team \nBT\n\n\n5\nUpdate from Source Partnership (SP)\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSP is trying to get back into the Vince Murrain community centre by appointment and is planning on taking appointment on Mondays and Thursdays between 1-4pm. \nFrom 26 Oct 20 SP will have samples of materials proposed for the new buildings which will be stored in the Vince Murrain community centre for residents to come and see. \nIf anyone wants to get in touch with SP\, the Residents Group can link people up (Email address in footer). \nThe residents steering group has restarted. The 9 Nov 20 and 14 Dec 20 are the next scheduled meetings. SP would like to have more council tenants to be part of the group. \nUpdate on the refurbishment Section 20 notices to Leaseholders in Southside blocks. Ongoing but SP are supporting Leaseholders.\n\n \n\n\n6\nAny other business? \n  \nAlice thanked the various representatives for attending and noted that it is helpful to have a forum to discuss & raise awareness of such issues.\n\n\n\n\n7\nDates of next meetings & close \nCommunity focused residents meeting December 2020 \nNext ETRA January 2021 (specific dates will be announced soon)\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWe will have another resident focused meeting in December 2020 to discuss building community on Kings Crescent\, ideas for events and activities etc. Feel free to email kingscrescentn4@gmail.com  with any ideas or suggestions for community building or to find out more about how to get involved! \n  \nPrevious information: \nAGENDA \nOn Zoom only due to Covid-19 restrictions \nThe zoom link for this meeting will be emailed to all who requested it (email kingscrescentn4@gmail.com) \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nSuggested \nTiming \n \nLead\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\n5 mins\nEmley (TRA)\n\n\n \nApproval of minutes from last ETRA meeting (July 2020) \n \n\n\n\n\n2\nCommunity Safety \n\n\n\n\n \n·       Update on further actions taken in recent months (written handover from Bianca sent prior to the meeting) \n·       Address current estate concerns \n·       Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Update \n \n15 mins\nDeborah Noel (ASB team) \n  \nCheryl Spruce (NHW)\n\n\n3\nUpdate on Older Blocks & Wider Estate\n\n\n\n\n \n·       Handover of newer blocks from New Build to Housing team \n·       Courtyard concerns \n·       Play Street – bollards missing\, 3 no entry signs promised but never delivered\n15 mins\nAnnette Reid Housing Officer \nAndrea Scott (Hackney)\n\n\n4\nCleaning Issues\n\n \n\n\n \n·       Recent complaints about lack of/poor quality cleaning in both new and older blocks \n \n10 mins\nBilly Dunne (Cleaner Estate Team)\n\n\n5\nUpdate on Newer Blocks\n\n\n\n\n \n·       Update on progress with ongoing snagging issues \no   Broken doors \no   Fire access key misuse \no   Smoke vent alarms \no   Slippery courtyard \no   Heating costs increase – competitive price? \no   Graffiti in lifts \no   Possible CCTV for bike stores \no   Kimpton Court address did not register on emergency services system in June 2020 \n  \n·       Address current issues \no   Issue of broken window 11th floor Kimpton and other window issues \no   balcony doors… building regulations show that the doors ought to be closable from the outside \no   bike stores / bin stores… these have been either in a state of not locking (bikes) or not opening (bins) recently \no   Lifts continuing to break in Sandon\, previous issue in Kimpton and recent issues started in Radwell \no   Ongoing theft of parcels from lobby \no   Mismatched paint used in communal areas \n \n25 mins\nBronwen Thomas  Project Officer Regeneration (Hackney) \nand John Lonergan New Build Team\n\n\n5\nUpdate from Source Partnership\n\n\n\n\n \n·       Update from John/Carol\n10 mins\nSource Partnership\n\n\n6\nAny other business? \n \n5mins\nEmley (TRA)\n\n\n7\nDates of next meetings & close \nCommunity focused residents meeting December 2020 \nNext ETRA January 2021\n5 mins\nEmley (TRA)\n\n\n\n  \nThe zoom link for this meeting will be emailed to all who requested it (email kingscrescentn4@gmail.com) \n  \n**Please note that this meeting will only deal with estate related issues** \nWe will have another resident focused meeting in December 2020 to discuss building community on Kings Crescent\, ideas for events and activities etc. Feel free to email kingscrescentn4@gmail.com  with any ideas or suggestions for community building or to find out more about how to get involved! \n  \nPrevious information: \nThis meeting will be hosted on Zoom if we are still not able to meet in person due to Covid-19\, we will decide closer to the time.

SUMMARY:September Steering Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the residents steering group. It is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. The steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \n  \nNotes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 28th September 2020 via \nGoogle Meet \n(Resident’s names removed for privacy on web version)\n \n\n\n\nThose Present:\nCllr. Brian Bell  (BB) (Chair) \nCllr Clare Potter (CP) \nEP (Resident Bramfield Court) \nPD ( ResidentDatchworth Court) \n \nJWM (Resident Theobalds  Ct) \nJG (Resident Theobalds Court) \nKH (Resident Wallington Court) \n \n\n\nIn Attendance:\nRon Greenwood (RG) \nCarol Squires (CS) \nJohn Morris \n \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n  \n1.1\n  \nApologies were received from residents PS\, HS\, AF\, TD. \n \n \n\n\n2.0\nNotes of previous meeting held 29th January 2020 and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n \n\n\n  \n2.1\n  \nThe minutes from the last meeting were agreed as accurate. \n \n \n\n\n  \n2.2\n  \nBB noted that the management of the new blocks is now with Annette Reid and Housing Management\, having transferred from the New Build Team. \n \n \n\n\n3.0\nPhase 3 & 4 \n \n\n\n  \n3.1\n  \nProgramme update \nRG gave feedback. \n  \nBids from the Expression of Interest stage have been received and are being evaluated. Key elements of this include contractor’s capability and experience of working at this scale and type of project. LBH asked for examples of their track record and ability to work closely with residents\, Council members and officers. Evaluation should be completed by the end of this week. The tender period will run for at least 14 weeks to approx. 14th December (there are more than 1\,000 drawings and a huge amount of information for bidding contractors to consider). They will want to visit KC\, probably in mid November\, Covid restrictions allowing. \n \n \n\n\n  \n3.2\n  \nTender evaluation and site visits \nThere are some key areas in the qualitative section of the bids that a small evaluation panel from the RSG can look at once tenders are in. These include: site logistics\, how disruption will be minimised\, how parking can be arranged and how the contractor proposes to consult with and involve residents. 4 or 5 residents would be ideal\, with a mix of tenures and areas of the estate represented. Source will identify training needs and prepare members. The evaluation exercise with residents is currently scheduled for January 2021. \n  \nEP said she would be happy to be involved but asked whether there would be an opportunity for wider groups. BB hoped that by getting back to 6 weekly RSG meetings there would be the opportunity to get regular feedback. \n  \nCP emphasised that engagement with residents is crucial; residents know how disruptive this is going to be so the right approach from the contractor is key. It would be good to get someone from Weston Court involved as the works to the podium and the creation of the commercial units below will be very disruptive\, like the garage conversions in phase 1. \n  \nCS suggested that Source would ask other residents what would concern them so the evaluation panel can look out for whether bidding contractors deal with these\, e.g. approach to working in people’s homes which was an issue in phase 1. \n  \nJWM\, who had just joined the meeting\, agreed to be part of the evaluation panel\, depending on timing of meetings so that she can fit it around her work. \n  \nIt was suggested that PA from Weston Court was asked to be part of the group. KH said he’d be able to be involved as a resident from the northside blocks as long as meetings were out of work hours. \n  \n(Post-meeting note\, JG\, who had to leave part of the meeting to attend to childcare issues also indicated her willingness to be on the panel if meetings etc. fitted in with work and family commitments).   \n  \nTherefore\, the resident evaluation panel would consist of EP\, JWM\, KH\, PA and JG. \n  \nEP asked if relevant sections of the tender documents would be sent round in advance. RG would make sure there is plenty of time for the panel to read submissions and consider their views before convening to discuss and moderate scores. Hopefully\, this would only take one meeting. \n  \nSite visits\, if possible\, will be organised through Source. This could include to the tendering contractors’ other schemes on site as well as comparable schemes from a design aspect in Hackney. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n  \n3.3\n  \nMaterials workshop \nRG noted that it has been a long time since the last design workshop (Dec 2018) so it is proposed to hold a display/workshop to show proposed materials and landscaping proposals again. But\, due to Covid restrictions\, this would be co-ordinated and controlled by Source at the Community Centre. Samples and drawings would be kept at the CC for a few weeks from 26th October and Source would arrange individuals or small groups to be able to visit and have questions answered. Any queries that need to be dealt with by the design team would be forwarded to them. EP endorsed this as some aspects of the design had changed since the last public event and up to now\, residents have had little chance to take time to look at (and feel) some of the materials that will be used. \n  \nCP asked if it will be possible to make appointments. CS – Source will produce a flier and control visits to 4 at a time. If the weather is good\, the displays could be set up outside the CC and more people\, potentially\, could attend. JWM offered the use of a gazebo if needed. \n \n \n\n\n4.0\nUnit C\n \n\n\n  \n4.1\n  \nRG gave an overview of the works proposed: construction of a partition to divide the space\, related ventilation\, new flooring\, storage and signage.  Funding is a mixture of GLA funds\, crowdfunding and from LBH.  There have been several productive discussions between LBH\, the TRA and Hackney Showroom. HS are committed to working in partnership with residents and arrangements for this will be encapsulated in the lease. \n  \nThe process and the contract documentation will be overseen by LBH outsourced Contract Managers. 3 contractors have expressed an interest in tendering. Tenders will be evaluated 80% on price\, 20% quality. Tender period will run from 5th October for 4 weeks. Evaluation early November\, with a possible period to negotiate price then 2 weeks site mobilisation. Building Control will need to sign this off\, so early December earliest possible start on site. 4 weeks building period followed by another Building Control sign off may mean completion February or early March. GLA need  timescales and once tenders are back\, LBH should be clearer on this. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.0\nTRA update\n \n\n\n  \n5.1\n  \nEP gave report back. A newsletter went out over the summer. Meetings now alternate between ETRA meetings that deal with estate and housing  management issues and open TRA meetings that discuss community and social activities. The next ETRA meeting is on 7th October. A Neighbourhood Watch scheme has started on the estate and a representative from the LBH co-ordination team will attend next week’s meeting. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nLeaseholder recharge proposals\, S20 process \n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nRG reported that all respondents to the S20 notice will have now received an individual reply. The Leasehold team propose running some online surgeries in mid November. Before that\, a refreshed FAQ sheet will be circulated\, dealing with queries that Source picked up in June and July. A ‘broad brush’ estimate of the full cost of the works will also be sent out in advance of the stages 2 and 3 S20 notices. These will be calculated to give individual leaseholders an idea of what the total cost might be but these will be very indicative figures. \n  \nEP asked how much room there might be to challenge the arrangements. RG emphasised that the approach to recharges is a policy decision contained in a Cabinet report from February and as such\, this is not up for discussion. EP made the point that there was no consultation on the proposal to taper the potential pay back over 5 years; no resident knew what was going to be put forward so there was no chance to respond when it may have been possible to contest the policy approach. RG indicated that there had been lots of discussion internally up to Director level and the rationale for the approach was clearly set out in the Cabinet report. \n  \nEP added that in terms of the refurbishment proposals\, if leaseholders had known earlier what the possible cost was going to be\, they could have commented on the elements of the works. RG noted that unfortunately there are some decisions that cannot be decided by residents. \n  \nCP stressed that her and Cllr Bell lobbied hard for the £10k cap to put in place for phase 3&4 but appreciated that it’s not a blanket cap. The intention is to be as fair as possible within financial constraints. \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n7.0\nPhase 1 & 2 update \n \n\n\n  \n7.1\n  \nRG reported on the remaining issues still being dealt with by Bronwen: \ni)      the paving work is complete and arrangements are in place to monitor these areas to ensure they are kept clean. Sealant was incorrectly applied in wet weather which caused the failure. \nii)     CCTV in bike stores has been agreed and is being priced. \niii)   an independent consultant has been engaged to investigate the cause of the AOV problem. Thanks to KH for his ongoing communication on this issue. KH asked why this has only happened in Wallington Court. RG replied that finding this out is why an independent consultant has been commissioned. EP thought there had been similar problems in Radwell Court. \niv)   main front doors now strengthened and LBH contractors are now maintaining them. BB asked to whom complaints should be directed if there are further issues with the doors. RG – as this will be a repair from now on\, it should be Annette Reid. EP asked if doors keep failing\, would cost of repairs be a service charge issue? RG – potentially\, yes. Up to now Higgins have been doing repairs as a latent defect. \n \n \n\n\n8.0\nUpdate from ITLA\n \n\n\n  \n8.1\n  \nCS reported that Source’s work has mostly been phone support and work on the S20 issues. Publicity will go out soon to let residents know that we will be available\, by appointment on Mondays and Thursdays in the CC office. \n  \nBB added that him and CP are hoping to start Councillor surgeries again in the Community Centre\, starting on Friday with a joint surgery and\, initially once a month to start with.\n  \n \n\n\n9.0\nAny urgent business\n \n\n\n  \n9.1\n  \nNone \n \n \n\n\n10.0\nDates of next meetings \n \n\n\n  \n10.1\n  \n9th November at 7.00 via Google Meet (with the draft leaseholder FAQs on the agenda) \n  \n14th December  at 7.00 via Google Meet (with update on the tendering process on the agenda) \n \n \n\n\n\n  \nThe meeting ended at 8.00.

SUMMARY:Residents Meeting September
DESCRIPTION:This Tenants & Residents Association (TRA) meeting will be celebrating the community which already exists on Kings Crescent and looking for ways to develop this further. \nIt’s a chance for residents to discuss what events and activities we want to have here\, meet your neighbours etc.  \nLet us know if you have any ideas! KingsCrescentN4@gmail.com \n  \nMeeting Minutes\n(Please note these are a draft to be approved at the next meeting on 02 December 2020) \nIn attendance:                                                        From: \n\n\n\nNina Lyndon\nHackney Showroom\n\n\nCarol Squires\nSource Partnership\n\n\nSiovhan Crombie\nResident Participation\n\n\n\n10 residents attended and apologies recieved from 6 others \n  \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item \nMinutes\nAction\nOwner\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\n \n \n\n\n2\nResidents Group (TRA) Committee Updates\n \n \n\n\n \n·        General updates from Emley: Most activities have been cancelled because of the pandemic but we still have access to the funding for them so once things open-up a bit more then we’ll have a few things ready. This includes a fun party organised by HS\, the homework club \n·        Finances update from Alice: See table below. \n·        Gardening/allotments update from Tom: \nHe has set up a facebook group for the allotment holders and has managed to get a bit more “power” when talking to Hackney (for example he has managed to get the responsibility of filling water butts to residents). He hopes\, with the gardening group\, to 1. get more responsibilities regarding the management of the allotments\, 2. to bring people together and 3. to have a louder voice when speaking with the council and get issues resolved faster.  Getting more responsibilities would hopefully include the management of the plots that are not in used and the waiting list. \nNina mentions that there are many opportunities for activities to be organised by HS around gardening/food and there are lots of funding opportunities available.\n \n \n\n\n3\nHackney Showroom Update\n \n \n\n\n \nNina from Hackney Showroom will give an update regarding \n·        Events and activities happening in their space (Unit C) \nFutureheads was very successful; 42 children over two weeks attended and really bonded. \nKings Feast is still on the shelf\, but we need to decide a date (funded from community budget last financial year but postponed due to Covid). \nDisco Loco\, dancing with parents and toddlers; HS is hoping for this to happen every week\, one morning. \nHS has been awarded a grant to run three different projects. One is actor training for 18-25-year olds. One is a youth theatre club for 14-18-year olds. And the final one is for a more generic drop-in youth club\, which will include some art activities\, targeted age to be confirmed. \n·        Progress on building work to transform the space: \nThe team (HS\, TRA + Hackney) is hoping to go to tender this week. Works should take 3-4 weeks and should happen in October. Works include creating two studio spaces with acoustic separation between them and a small office for HS.\n \n \n\n\n4\nCommunity Survey results\n \n \n\n\n \nSource Partnership (ITLA) have been running a survey to get feedback from residents about the types of activities and events they would like to see happening on Kings Crescent.  Update from Carol: \n66 responses \n48 residents have children <5 years old \nFurther 15 have children >5 years old \nActivities that people would like to see run (and are not already): language classes\, general fitness\, martial arts\, youth clubs\, boys club. \n40% of residents are willing up to pay up to £5 for these activities \nIssues raised by residents: lack of community cohesion\, lack of activities for children\, ASB. \n36% of residents think that the TRA should always give support with issues with the council. \n33% of residents think that the TRA should never give support with issues with the council. \nCarol mentions that they would like to restart the Coffee Morning with the older population\, but that Hackney is slow with re-opening the community centre. Nina offers to hold those mornings in Unit C.\n \n \n\n\n5\nOpen Conversation\n \n \n\n\n \nThe homework club could start in November with small groups. There is funding available for once a week for a year but maybe it could run twice a week for six months. There are insurance forms to be filled to cover the fact that the TRA will oversee children during the homework club (without parents present). \nMaire proposes to use the car park money for soil for the planters (around £50)\, Emley seconds. Sarah H. will apply for funding from Hackney to get that money reimbursed.\n \n  \n  \n  \nSH\n\n\n6\nDates of next meetings & close \nNext ETRA: 7 October \nNext residents meeting: early December\n \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nSummary of KCTRA Income & Outgoings\n\n\nKey Income\n\n\nitem\nAmount (£)\nRing-fenced?\nmonth/year\n\n\nSpacehive (Excl GLA)\n5\,711\nYES\nJun-20\n\n\nHomework Club Grant\n4\,837\nYES\nJun-20\n\n\nCar Park Money\n500\nNO\nAug-20\n\n\nHackney (RP team) Contribution to Unit C outfit\n1\,000\nYES\nAug-20\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\nKey Outgoings\n\n\nitem\nAmount (£)\nSpecific Funding received?\nmonth/year\n\n\nReimbursement of board games (flood)\n58\nYES\nJul-20\n\n\nPrinting estate wide flyers (Aug 20)\n120\nYES – to be submitted\nTBC\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nCurrent bank balance (£):\n12\,173\n\n \n\n\nas at:\n1st Sept 2020\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: smaller sums are excluded for clarity.

SUMMARY:ETRA meeting July
DESCRIPTION:Kings Crescent ETRA July Meeting Minutes \n08 July 2020 7.00-8.30pm \n On Zoom only due to Covid-19 restrictions \n  \nChair of meeting: Emley Pine (Chair of TRA Committee) \nAttended by 23 residents \n  \n\n\n\nIn attendance:\nBianca Rembrandt (BR)\nCommunity Safety and Principal Enforcement Officer (Hackney)\n\n\n\nAnnette Reid\nHousing Officer (Hackney)\n\n\n\nBronwen Thomas (BT)\nProject Officer Regeneration (Hackney)\n\n\n\nJohn Morris\nConsultant at Source Partnership\n\n\n\nClare Potter\nCouncillor Brownswood ward\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\n  \nAction \n \nOwner\n\n\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\n\n\n\n\n \nApproval of minutes from last ETRA meeting (March 2019) \nSarah H proposes to approve the minutes \nAlice seconds\n\n\n\n\n2\nCommunity Safety – Led by Bianca Rembrandt\n\n\n\n\n \nPoint to cover: \n·        Update on actions taken in recent months \n·        Outline of community safety action plan for whole estate \n·        Address current estate concerns \n·        CCTV update \n·        Introduce Neighbourhood Watch \nDiscussion: \n·        There has been a closure order at Bramfield Court due to drug dealing issues since 2017\, linked to a particular individual. The order is good for 3 months since May 2020 and means that their flat and communal areas in and around the block are “closed”. The resident of the particular flat involved should have also been removed but with the pandemic it could not be done. BR wants to extend the order for a further 3 months once it’s over. \n·        BR has a wider plan for the estate which will take place in the next weeks/months. This plan is to tackle issues of drug dealing\, prostitution\, tailgating to gain access to the buildings on the estate\, loitering\, rough sleeping etc. She also wants to launch a neighbourhood watch. She is working on the new CCTV project and solving the issue that the fire key holes allow anyone to gain access to the blocks. She also has legal resources to tackle anti-social behaviour towards individuals at fault. She wants to keep the reputation of the estate that it is not somewhere people can come and create trouble. This will include the set-up of a Neighbourhood watch area and further details will be sent to residents on this and how to get involved. \n·        There are two DWOs (dedicated ward offices) patrolling the estate. Their patrol is led by reports so residents should continue to report if they want higher patrolling.\nGet a timeframe for the solution to the problem of fire key misuse. \n  \nSend an update letter to all residents about the entire plan for Anti-Social Behaviour and Crime on the Estate.\nBR\n\n\n3\nUpdate on Older Blocks – Led by Annette Reid\n\n\n\n\n \n·        Update on previous concerns re cleaning/repairs \n·        This has been solved and the concerned residents have been updated. \n·        Update on flood affected flats and when residents due to return \n·        All residents affected on the estate are now back into their home. \n·        ASB in Bramfield\, Theobalds\, Datchworth \n·        Update from BR has covered this.\n\n\n\n\n4\nUpdate on Newer Blocks – Led by Bronwen Thomas\n\n\n\n\n \n·        Update on progress with ongoing snagging issues \nBroken doors: \no   Door handles will be changed\, Higgins is still being held responsible for some of those issues. Hackney’s maintenance contractor is looking at finding a long-term solution. \no   There was also a brief discussion on the issue of automatic door closures and the ongoing issue that is for estate members. In particular\, it was highlighted that the combination of poor door security with the ASB\, potential crime on the estate and mail being solen are related issues which combine to lead to some residents feeling unsafe. \nFire access key misuse: \no   The system will be changed; it has been agreed with the fire brigade. \nSmoke vent alarms: \no   Hackney’s maintenance contractor is currently looking at this (rather than Higgins resetting the faulty lights). Hackney is also trying to work out if they were built faulty or not. \nSlippery courtyard: \no   Higgins has agreed to clean the courtyards and to reapply the sealant. Higgins will also do individual ground floor properties; these properties will be contacted by Higgins directly. \nHeating costs increase – competitive price? \no   No updates but action taken by Hackney \nGraffiti in lifts: \no   The maintenance of the lifts is now with Hackney rather than Higgins and the team should be able to do something about this. \nPossible CCTV for bike stores: \no   The project has been on hold because of lock down restrictions but Hackney is still investigating the cost for this. \no   Clare Potter mentions that there have been lots of large scale bike thefts in Brownswood so it may be an organised group. BR takes note of this. \no   A resident mentions that the outdoor bike stores at Sandon Court are designed in a way where several locks need to be used to lock the frame and wheels. \no   Questions are raised as to whether garda keys can open the cupboard where the electricity board is? \nPigeons: \no   Hackney will not go ahead with their suggested plan to apply repellent gel as it is too expensive for an estate-wide solution and there was insufficient support from residents. \nASB – drugs and prostitution: \no   Update already covered by BR \nMail theft: \no   Bianca suggests that residents have their post delivered to a collection point when not in to receive the package. \nLifts keep breaking: \no   No update at this point \nKimpton Court address did not register on emergency services system in June 2020 \nDogs fouling in courtyards: \no   There are no legal actions that Hackney can take against residents about owning a dog\, unless it is a “dangerous dogs.” Residents can exercise their dogs on green shared places but not where there are children’s playing amenities. If anyone is aware of a dog owner not picking after their dog they can contact Hackney who will follow this up with the relevant resident. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nGet a letter to be sent to residents explaining how the heating rate is competitive \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWorking with emergency services to solve this\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBT (with Donna) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBT\, Hackney\n\n\n5\nTimeline for phases 3&4 and Section 20 notice – Led by John Morris\n\n\n\n\n \n·        Projected timeline for refurbishment of Southside blocks and building of new blocks: \n·        Sign-off of the contract should happen in March 2021 after the tender process and the negotiation \n·        The refurbishment works should start in October 2021 and complete around Oct 2022 \n·        Entire project including new builds should be complete by Summer 2024 (but timelines can slip) \n·        Section 20 notice (only relevant to leaseholders in Southside blocks). Overview of concerns raised and plan for Hackney to address concerns. \n·        Anyone who has raised concerns should get an individual response soon. Source will continue to support this group to liaise with Leasehold team. \n \n\n\n\n\n6\nAny other business? \nCan residents have emails from Hackney rather letters?\n  \nCheck with Hackney\n  \nBT\n\n\n7\nDates of next meetings & close \n2 September – Community focus meeting (not estate issue meeting) and AGM \nDate TBC in October – ETRA \nA call was made for anyone interesting in joining the TRA committee next year to get in contact with the TRA.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis meeting took place on Zoom as we were unable to meet in person due to Covid-19.

Not all additional items were able to be covered in the meeting but points were kindly collated by Alice (TRA treasurer) who was hosting the Zoom meeting. \nThe following points have been sent to the relevant people at Hackney to address \nThe points raised on chat on new build areas were: \n\nOn heating/Insite – this was briefly covered above but there were some additional details on chat\, specifically around: it is understood that at the last meeting Donna was going to arrange for a letter to be sent from Hackney explaining the reason for the increase in charges\, what Hackney do to ensure good value for money and if we are covered by Ofgem.  A specific question was raised as to whether Insite charges are above the Ofgem cap. Also\, given the limited customer service provided by Insite\, if a resident thinks an error has been made in the charging\, who is the right person/organisation to take that up with?\n\n  \nThere were some other smaller comments but mainly just additions to items we discussed directly at the meeting but for completeness: \n\nthanks for courtyard being sorted\nlift issues in Sandon\nany other sources of advice on pigeon proofing?\nimplications when the bike store thefts occur – and wider security concerns\nrequests for service charges and noise in the courtyard to be discussed at future meetings\ndiscussion on post issues\n\nV2 25.07.2020 (final version to be approved at next ETRA meeting in October) \n  \nPrevious information: \nThis meeting took place as scheduled.

SUMMARY:TRA meeting March
DESCRIPTION:Kings Crescent TRA Meeting Minutes \nHeld on 10 March 2020 in Hackney Showroom Space ‘Unit C’ \nChair of meeting:  Emley Pine \nIn attendance: \n12 Residents \nAnnette Reid (AR) – LB Hackney Housing Officer KC\nJohn Morris (JM) – Source Partnership (ITLA)\nClare Potter – Councillor Brownswood ward\nBronwen Thomas – LB Hackney Regeneration Team (Phases 1&2)\nSiovhan Crombie – LB Hackney Resident Participation Team\nDonna Bryce – New Build and Resident’s safety \n  \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nLead\nAction\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions \nLast meeting actions update \nJill propose to accept the minutes\, Andrew seconds \n  \n \nEmley\n \n\n\n2\nEstate Issues & Questions (ETRA)\n \n \n\n\n \nOpportunity to ask Hackney about estate issues \nIn attendance: \n·        Bronwen Thomas from Hackney Regeneration Team to discuss ongoing unresolved issues with phase 1&2 e.g. slippery courtyards \n·        Donna Bryce New Build Team \n·        Annette Reid Housing Officer for Kings Crescent \nSiovhan Crombie – Resident Participation Support Officer \nIssues discussed: \n·        All doors have been looked at by Higgins\, the top mechanisms (door closers) have all been replaced. There are still issues in Redbourne\, Kimpton & Wallington Court. It is unclear what will be covered by Higgins and what will go through service charges or a different pot of money from the new build team (which is not recharged to residents through service charges). \n·        Hackney is working on getting a quote to have CCTV installed in the bike stores. At this point this is just a study. It hasn’t been decided whether or not it will happen. \n·        Graffiti in the lifts\, Hackney is looking at changing the material so that it cannot be scratched. Andrew ask that Redborne is added on to the list of lifts to be upgraded. \n·        Hackney has a new contractor to maintain the HIU. \n·        The smoke vent lights coming on: now that the maintenance contract with Higgins is over\, Hackney will look into a long-term solution rather than having Higgins just resetting the system every time it trips. \n·        All of Kings Crescent buildings now have a document (available on request) that conforms with mortgage provider’s requirement regarding the cladding fire hazard. \n·        Regarding the key holes that everybody can open (those keys are easily available): The police suggests that a plastic box is fitted over them but the fire brigade recommends not to. A meeting is organised between Hackney\, the police and the fire brigade to find the best solution. \n· \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHackney is still in the opinion that Higgins should pay for a long-term solution regarding the paving that is growing mould. They are fighting to say that it is a defect. Hackney will look into trying the have the private terraces dealt with by Higgins as well as the shared area. \n· \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPigeon solution. Hackney is waiting for the reply from residents to decide if they will go ahead with the gel. The cost would be £130 per household if it is done estate wide. If it doesn’t go ahead\, Hackney will be able to go advice on what product to get. DA stated that there is a product that can be purchased by individuals affected which only costs £20-30. EP asked that this option be given to residents now as the current survey feels very all or nothing. \n·        Community safety team is looking into the issues of prostitution\, drugs etc. Phase 2 has been approved and will be launched (phase 1 already happened). \n·        ASB can be reported to the ASB team (from Hackney)\, the community safety team (from Hackney) and the Brownswood safe neighbourhood team (police). There is also an app that can be used to help rough-sleepers if that is the concern being reported: streetlink. All ASB should be reported so there is a record of the magnitude of the issue. The police will not intervene instantly but when they have resources to spare\, they need the intelligence to be able to target the problematic areas. \n· \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Capital Camera Replacement Programme mentioned during the last meeting will start in May. CCTV will be added where needed for example in the corner if Bramfield Court. \n·        Heating rate increase. Hackney will not recover the cost that has been lost up to now. Residents want to know how does Hackney make sure the gas they buy to run the central heating plant is at a competitive price. \n·        On the 22 March there will be a communal walkabout for people to point out what they would like to see refreshed. Meet at 10am Vince Murrain Hall. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHackney (DA)\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRe-issue the letter with the deadline and the information about the product \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFind the information and share it with residents regarding how they are making sure the gas they buy is at a competitive rate.uct.\n\n\n3\nAmendments to TRA constitution & new policies\n \n \n\n\n \n  \n·        Amend details that are causing issues setting up a bank account \n·        Sarah proposes that the updates to the constitution and the finance policy are approved and Jill seconds. No one objects. \n·        New TRA Health & Safety policy introduced \nNew TRA Equality & diversity policy introduced \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions are raised regarding point 5. of the GA sections: how can we make sure that we have a trained first aider at each event. Emley and Emilie already are\, it is proposed that more people get the training. \n·        Alice proposes that we accept the H&S and Equality & Diversity Policies Jill seconds. No one objects. \n·        Andrew proposes that we put up a statement inviting different people form different backgrounds to join the committee. \n \n  \nAlice \nEmley\n  \n  \n  \n  \nTRA officers (1 or 2) to do their first aid training\n\n\n4\nTRA committee Update\n \n \n\n\n \nBank account & finances update \nThe process with NatWest is going well and should be completed before it would have been done with Santander. \n \nAlice\n \n\n\n \nUnit C plans \nThe wall should be built in June and funded by Ron’s team (Hackney Regeneration).

Police have been conducting regular patrols and some residents stated that there has been a slight improvement.\nA resident from Therefield court (Kings Crescent estate) stated that ASB was still bad around the location. There has been reports of people hanging around the bin shed area taking drugs and by prostitutes. Police attended and caught two people who were hanging around the location. There are also concerns about prostitutes who are seen at 9:30am. These problems are apparent outside Therefield and Kelshall court.\nBianca Rembrandt updated residents about herself liaising with Annette Reid and cleaners who operate on the estate. The plan is to carry out further interventions\, have stronger interactions and send out community protection warnings. There has been work around gathering as much information in a hope that the courts will work in our favour. Enforcement officers who operate in the area get challenged\, we target problem addresses and hope offenders do not return.\nCllr Potter stated that most problem are early in the morning.\nPS Durrant stated that we will look at calls and pay more attention to affected areas. We will also ask Op Vice to monitor the location to deal with prostitution. Op Vice is run by members of the safer neighbourhood’s team and more operations will be planned in the future.\nPC Hussain stated that we conduct weapons sweep and recently we got an arrest at Bramfield court. This helps us to recognise suspects operating in the area. Officers also hope to conduct more patrols in the area.\n\n  \n  \n  \nBlackstock road  \n  \n\nPC Hussain updates residents on a tri borough operation on Blackstock road. There has been an increased effort to combine officers from neighbouring boroughs in order to deal with ASB issues at location. We will also request task force to come along more regularly to help with issues on Blackstock road.\nPS Durrant stated that we will request other officers from specialised units such as the task force to come from Mon-Thu. We will also ask street duties to also come along and show more visible presence.\nCllr Potter highlighted the issue with people not reporting matters enough to the police. Cllr Potter welcomes the news of Brownswood SNT bringing more officers to deal with ASB issues. Cllr Potter also stated that there is a walk around with Islington officers planned soon.\nPC Hussain stated that we identified a doorway area next to the Sainsbury’s which will be continuously looked at and targeted.\nOne of the residents stated that on a positive note they have witnessed more visibility of officers at Blackstock road recently.\nPS Durrant stated that officers from Islington are also helping patrol the area. The last operation carried out at the location helped gather a lot more intelligence with CCTV images.

We have also requested Robbery squad to patrol the area in the evening time. The Met have also paid for a drone to cover the park area which would be a very useful tool to have.\n\n  \nOther Issues \n  \n\nPC Hussain stated that the police met with Clarion housing in order to suggest installing more CCTV around Barkway court. PC Hussain also stated that we have knocked on doors at Wilberforce road and Finsbury park road in order to encourage people to report crime as much as they can.\nA resident wished to highlight an issue with very noisy drug dealing and ASB activity which takes place at Brownswood road\, Wilberforce road and Mountgrove road.\nPS Durrant states that we are aware of issues on Wilberforce road\, Finsbury park road. We are working towards implementing a PSPO (Public spaces protection order) in order to deal with ASB issues. PS Durrant requests residents to continue in report to the police.\nA resident wished to highlight an issue with very noisy bikes on Finsbury park road. This is normally between 1:30 – 6:30pm.\nA resident from St johns court stated that he will be sending a letter to the estate manager (Jonathan West) and request more CCTV\, re enforcement of the entry doors and better fencing.\nCllr Potter offers all residents if anyone wished to volunteer themselves to chair the Brownswood ward panel meeting.\nPC Hussain stated that we plan to hold police public contact sessions on Blackstock road.

SUMMARY:Christmas social and TRA meeting
DESCRIPTION:Minutes of the (E)TRA meeting: \nThe meeting was attended by 12 residents and the following representatives: \nAnnette Reid (AR) – LB Hackney Housing Officer KC \nJohn Morris (JM) – Source Partnership (ITLA) \nSam Curtis Lindsay (SCL) – Hackney Showroom \nClare Potter – Councillor Brownswood ward \nBernard Thomas – LB Hackney Environment Management \nBilly Dunne – LB Hackney Environment Management \nBianca Rembrandt – LB Hackney Community Safety & Enforcement \nCharlotte Moriba – LB Hackney Resident Participation Team \nDeborah Noel (DS) – LB Hackney ASB Team \n  \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nLead\nAction\n\n\n1\nWelcome and Introductions\nEmley\n \n\n\n2\nEstate Issues & Questions\n \n \n\n\n \nSenior representatives from various Hackney departments available to discuss issues/questions regarding Kings Crescent: \n·        Housing Officer for Kings Crescent (Annette Reid): \nAnnette received written answers from the New Build to the TRAs questions as they could not attend. The answers provided were not satisfactory\, Annette is suggesting that those issues are raised at the steering group. \nClaire Potter also volunteers to deal with some of these issues. \nEmley explains that as a resident it’s difficult to get resolution and answers from Hackney as everybody says those particular issues are not dealt with by their department. \nAnnette suggests to also email neighbourhood@hackney.gov.uk where she can channel the issues to the right person. Alternatively the info@hackney.gov.uk is also an email address where any questions can be raised and the email will be passed on to the right department. \nDeborah suggest we (TRA) make an action plan where we keep track of the pending actions from Hackney and the dates issues were raised. This way there is track of how long issues take to get resolved and it easier for Hackney representatives to grasp the urgency of some of these pending actions. \nAnnette holds weekly (ish) meetings in the Vince Murrain Centre most Thursdays between 2-4pm. \nThe police will serve a 24hour notice to the travellers tonight and will be evicted within 2 weeks. At no point should residents approach these people\, they are not friendly travellers (some are but not them). There is a travellers’ officer who is happy to be contacted by any resident:  02083565154 angie.emmerson@hackney.gov.uk \n·        New Build Team: could not make it. \n·        Anti-social behaviour team (Bianca and Deborah) \n·        Deborah confirms that if a resident raises an issue\, the responding officer should update that resident regularly. Residents are raising the fact that Hackney doesn’t come back to people and that CCTV doesn’t work on the estate. Deborah also explains that crimes have to be dealt with by the police unless the criminal is a resident of the estate\, ASB team cannot do anything otherwise. \nBianca explains that if a resident is not happy with Hackney’s service\, they can raise the issue with a community trigger (against one person over several actions or against many people over one action). \nBianca has been patrolling the estate and she got suspicious people’s details who she has managed to link to people known from Hackney. Things are being done. \nAlice raises the issue of the CCTV and the fact that we can’t get a straight answer as whether or not is works. Deborah suggests residents ask for a job number when calling to raise this type of issue. \nAnnette took 14 actions regarding CCTV at the last meeting here are the update on these. In the new builds the cameras are working. On the old side: There are 5 cameras working at ?? Court. There were 15 cameras not working across the estate\, they have been removed. There is a capital camera replacement project for 2019-2020\, some of the cameras removed will be replaced during this project. \n·        Waste Operations \nBilly: the algae solution was to buff the top and clean\, now it needs to be sprayed regularly to keep on top of it but it shouldn’t come back. \nJill is asking how often the old blocks are being cleaned. Billy says every day\, Jill confirms this has not been the case recently. There is a problem of urine in the lift. \nPigeons: Charmaine has only got 97 responses out of over 500\, of them 27 said they were affected by the pigeons. In March there will be a pilot project costing £70\,000; a special gel will be used which looks like fire and scares pigeons. It should be around £130 per property.\nAnnette Reid & colleagues\nBilly\, Annette to send a list of contact at Hackney \n  \nEmley to email Claire Potter the list of issues regarding the new builds and discuss at Steering Group. \n  \nNewBuild to send update on CCTV and security \n  \nDS to send the Community Trigger information \n  \nAnnette will invite the New Build Team to the next TRA meeting \nAnnette will find out if the pigeon gel is a one payment for a few years or if this is a yearly cost \n  \nTRA to create an action plan\n\n\n3\nUnit C Update\n \n \n\n\n \n·        Introduction to Hackney Showroom \nHackney Showroom are the new tenant of Unit C. \nSam explains that Hackney Showroom has been around Hackney for a long time and they produce shows and organise event for Hackney community (activities for kids\, adult learning etc.). \n  \n·        Update on progress so far and funding opportunities \nHS and the TRA have a plan of sharing the space but are trying to find funding for creating a division to create two places. Hackney Showroom wants to have a clear plan of the future before signing up for a 5year lease with Hackney. \nEmley and HS have put a few applications for funding for joint events and activities.\nEmley/Sam\nEmley to update the TRA on tomorrow’s meeting on Unit C funding for the division/sharing\n\n\n4\nTRA Update\n \n \n\n\n \nEvents & Family fun mornings going well.\nEmley\n \n\n\n \nBank account & finances \nOne person yet to provide details to open the bank account and then 5 working days to do so should be open in January 2020. \nAlice gives an explanation of the Finance Policy she wrote. Emley suggests that section 3 is different for the funding coming from Hackney. She proposes this is excluded from the level one as the £3000 could disappear fast if many people request £500 each. \nSH propose that the policy is approved\, including the proposed changes. Jill seconds. Alice will update the policy and send around for final approval of the wording.\nAlice\nAlice to update the policy with suggestion regarding the funding coming from Hackney\n\n\n \nPlanning permission granted for phase 3&4 \nBalconies to existing block should be first when the work starts but this could take some time (many months). \nJill is happy to take questions if residents have some for the next steering group.\nSarah H\n \n\n\n \nVision for Kings Crescent Community \nTo discuss more at next meeting/events\nEmley\n \n\n\n5\nUpcoming Community Events:\n \n \n\n\n \nFebruary party \nHS offered to organise an event if there is budget for it\, with artists!
