SUMMARY:December Steering Group Meeting & Christmas drinks
DESCRIPTION:Last steering group of 2018 \nThis meeting is focused on the plans and updates for the next phase of development \n  \nKings Crescent Steering Group Meeting to be held on  \nMonday 17 December 2018 starting at 7.00pm in Vince Murrain Community Centre \n  \nAGENDA \n  \n\nIntroductions and Apologies\n\n\nNotes of previous meeting held 28 November 2018 and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n\n\nFeedback from design exhibition 10th December\n\n\nAny urgent business\n\n\nRSG meetings 2019\, date of next meeting \n\n  \nMINUTES \n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n \nApologies were received from: Alice Hutchinson\, Karsten Hartmann\, Emma Crouch \n \n \n\n\n2.0 \nNotes of previous meeting and matters arising\n \n\n\n2.1\nMinutes were agreed as correct. \n \n \n\n\n2.2\nMatters arising: \nDP raised the issue of cleaning and caretaking. He contended that the Weston Court podium hadn’t been swept thoroughly for months and was concerned about LBH’s ability to keep the estate clean when it has 25% more homes.  He reported that 34 lights are not working in Weston and Datchworth Courts. CS offered to pass this onto Annette Reid\, Estate Manager. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCS\n\n\n3.0\nFeedback from design exhibition 10th December\n \n\n\n3.1\nRG reported that there were 120 attendees. 60 were from the new blocks\, 15 off the estate and the rest from the old blocks. This was an opportunity for LBH and the design team to set out what feedback was taken on board and what hasn’t changed. \n  \nRefuse and recycling \nSite-wide proposals for refuse\, recycling and parking were a major part of the presentations. RG reiterated that proposals to close refuse chutes was a borough-wide policy to overcome a management problem and to increase recycling rates.  Provision will be made to support residents who cannot get to bins. \nDP raised concerns about the impact of closing the chutes and the likelihood that food waste would be spilt in lifts and on walkways when residents had to carry compostable waste bags down to bins. These sometimes split easily. Rubbish bags are not a problem as these are generally much stronger. If the cleaning service is poor\, who will clean up spillage from bags? SH and PA both suggested double-bagging waste\, AM suggested composting bins that can be bought; these break down food waste at home and the compost can be used on plants or allotments. RG welcomed the ideas and possible solutions being suggested. \n  \nFeedback from designs displayed \nRG continued feedback on the exhibition. Proposals for parking and estate services were set out and the master planning strategy explained. New images were produced to try to capture the look and feel of the development\, particularly the new courtyards. The new model\, ipads and VR devices went down well. The general response was that people felt listened to.  PA reported that he didn’t find it easy to see on the display boards where changes had been made; he had to have them described. He found the VR very helpful. He still thinks the columns on the new balconies are a security risk and thinks the 3rd column on each balcony looks unnecessary. RG indicated that crime prevention officers will have an input into this design feature and the details of the columns’ material will be discussed with the manufacturer. \n  \nDensity and ASB \nPS asked for confirmation of the number of new blocks. RG – there will be 5. PS asked if the estate is big enough to cope with so many new blocks. RG replied that in fact the LBH design panel and the GLA think there’s scope for more and taller blocks. PA questioned whether tall blocks are good for families and cited an example of a tall block in Holly Street which was unpopular for families and it was converted into an over 55s block. He also expressed concern about the possibility of increased ASB with new younger people likely to be living on the estate. RG felt that the new community facilities should provide activities and projects for young people. BB questioned the perception that young people who cause ASB are primarily from off the estate. Many do live at Kings Crescent and so should be in a position to benefit from activities organised at the new community facilities. \n  \nEstate lighting \nPA raised the issue of the poor lighting now and expressed the hope that this will be taken into account for the new development. SH endorsed the view that the lighting now could be poor. RG said these concerns will be fed into the new build lighting strategy. CS noted that when Higgins were on site\, the whole estate was lit all the time for security\, so at least when the phase 3&4 contractors are on site\, this will probably contribute to improved lighting. DP reiterated his view that a reliable caretaking service would pick up these sorts of problems. CS committed to contact Annette Reid to find out when the next walkabout will take place to pick up these issues (as per item 2.2). \n  \nCleaning \nThere was also concern about the perception that the cleaners are not full time on KC but are agency staff not spending all their time on the estate. BT to check what \nthe situation is with the cleaners. \nCCTV \nPA asked if the cameras at Weston Court were now all working. BT will check and respond but she understands that they are. \n  \nProposed layout and public realm \nBB asked if there was feedback on the layout of the estate. SC liked the central play space. CP noted that the new community centre will also be a focus for community activity. SC stressed the importance of building up a sense of community with the existing and new outdoor spaces. EP reported that her daughter\, Maya had been questioning MUF at the exhibition about the purpose of the equipment on the play street. RG commented that if a child is unsure how play equipment is intended to be used\, there are lessons to be learnt. Facilities need to be clearly useful and of interest for children. \n  \nBoiler room \nPS asked about plans for the old boiler room under Theobalds Ct. RG – it could be an ancillary community space\, a meeting room or converted into another flat. \n  \nEnvironmental additions   \nIn response to a question from PA\, RG reported that existing blocks will have brown roofs and PV Panels that should reduce energy bills. BB added that LBH is developing a ‘green offer’ with possibly a borough-wide energy company. SC raised the problem that she experienced with the solar panels earlier this year. BT explained that some were not fixed properly and had to be taken down and refixed; Higgins dealt with this quickly. \n  \nOngoing lessons learnt \nLight fittings \nAM raised the issue of LED bulbs that cannot be replaced by residents when the bulbs expire because of the light fittings. Social rent tenants have to call out LBH repairs to change the bulb – no doubt at great expense. There may be a disparity between social rent tenants and owners who do not have the same light fittings. BT acknowledged this is a problem. LED lights are fitted because they are more efficient but a lot are being replaced under warranty as so many have died. SC noticed that lights were left on 24 hours a day while the flats were being finished so the life of the bulbs was a lot less by the time the flats were occupied. BB asked that this is looked at as a specification item for phases 3&4. \nCommunal doors \nSH raised the issue of the main door to Chipping Court which is always failing. BT noted this is a latent defect and has been reported 11 times to her knowledge.  LBH still working on finding a solution. \nNew stripes on play street  \nEP reported that they are very slippery. BT to check this out. \nSainsbury’s staff parking on the pavement? \nSeveral people have witnessed this. It could be one of the security guards. RG and BT to raise this with Sainsburys. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTimescales \nRG ran through indicative timetable for the next phases: \n·         Internal meetings will be held up to March 2019 to settle viability and final design details leading to planning application being made mid March. \n·         Determination of the application will be in approx. 6 months\, so around Sept 2019. \n·         Meanwhile\, the process for selecting a contractor will get underway\, starting in Spring 2019. Tender invitations will be issued in the summer\, deadline of Sept for submissions. The Cabinet Procurement Committee will need to sign off the decision to award the contract which will probably be by Nov 2019. \n·         Approx. Dec 2019 contract with developer signed. \n·         On site approx. Spring 2020 \nResidents will have a role to play in selecting the contractor; there are quality criteria that bidders will have to respond to\, e.g. how they will deal with noise and disruption. \n·         Refurbishment will be finished first\, approx. 18 months after start of site\, so approx. late 2021. \n·         The new blocks will then be built on a phased basis between approx. 2022 and 2023. \nSH asked if this phase will be longer than the first phases. RG estimated approx. 3 years; there is less new build but more refurbishment than phases 1 &2. It will be a very complex and challenging contract – lots of homes in occupation in close proximity\, a tight site and difficult logistics. BB commented that plenty of contractors possess the expertise to construct within tightly constrained sites. \n  \nPA asked about the white lines that have been painted on the estate roads. BT replied that these are probably LBH contractors checking where services run\, BT to check if PA’s observations correlate with what should be happening with the preparatory works. RG noted that there is one more trial pit to be dug a round Weston Court. \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  \nCS \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBT \n  \n  \n  \nBT \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  \nBT \n  \nRG & BT \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  \nBT\n\n\n4.0\nAny urgent business\n \n\n\n4.1\nNone\n \n\n\n5.0\nDate of next meeting\n \n\n\n5.1\nNext meeting 30/1/19 in Unit C\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\n11 Residents \nRon Greenwood (RG) \nBronwen Thomas (BT) \nSimon Ware \nCarol Squires  (CS) \nJohn Morris \nNatalie Adubofour \nCllr Brian Bell (BB) (Chair) \n \n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nCllr Clare Potter (CP) \n

SUMMARY:December Residents Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The supported residents group meets every 3 months. All residents are welcome to attend. \nCome along to meet your neighbours\, find out about events happening on Kings Crescent\, make plans for social events and to discuss any issues you are having. \n(See minutes from the September meeting to see what has been happening before) \n  \nMinutes of Supported Residents Group Meeting – 6th December 2018 (kindly minuted by Sarah Hulcoop) \nThe meeting was chaired by Simon from LBH in place of Oliur (Simon will be the new permanent resident participation support officer for Kings Cresent) \nAttendance – approx. 20 residents attended. \n  \nFeedback from previous meeting \n\nParking issues: More parking enforcement was taking place\, which should reduce the cars parked wrongly on the estate and create more space. Residents commented that they were still concerned by the lack of parking\, in particular that they can no longer purchase visitors permits for on the estate.  The situation will get worse when the building work starts up.\nExtra bike parking hoops: work will continue to fit these\nPigeons: a letter has gone out asking people not to feed pigeons.   The newbuild team have not completed their investigations into options yet.  Carol will email the team for an update.\n\nActivities on the estate \n\nWheely tots was piloted during the summer and is now being evaluated. LBH would welcome any feedback.\nZumba and pilates will be starting on Wednesday 9th January. This will be a 12-week trial so needs to be well attended! Cost of £2 per session:\n\n7-8pm Zumba\n8-9pm Pilates\n\n\n\nPost-Christmas party in January \nResidents discussed options.  A Saturday afternoon / evening in late January was suggested.  Simon will decide on a date. \nIdeas of bring-and-share food reflecting different cultures\, a quiz or bingo as an activity to help break the ice and help people to mingle\, some music for dancing.  A number of people were willing to help organise this – Emley\, David\, Andrew\, Sarah\, Emilie. \n  \nAGM / creation of a Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) \nDiscussion was had on how to move forward with setting up a TRA. \n\nSome residents were disappointed that this had been postponed at the last meeting and the AGM / election not held.\nHowever\, others felt this was to give newer residents to the group an opportunity to understand the roles and have time to consider getting involved.\nThere was general agreement that the group would be best chaired be a resident of the estate.\nCarol said training had been promised by LBH.\nResidents agreed it would be very helpful to have input from young people on the estate\nIt would also be good to encourage other residents to attend the Group meetings\, perhaps by better advertising / emphasising that the group could give people a powerful voice on the estate and to liaise with LBH and others\nSimon proposed that at the next meeting (March) some training could be offered (perhaps after the main meeting) for those interested in a committee role\, with the committee being elected at the June meeting.\n\n  \nTime and dates of meetings \nResidents discussed the best times and days for meetings\, but agreed that was no time that would suit everyone.  7pm seemed a good time to stick with.  The next meetings would be on the first Thursday of the month\, in March and June. \nSimon would fix dates and these would be advertised. \n  \n**If anyone is interested in getting involved with planning the party and/or becoming a member of the residents committee please get in touch via the feedback function at the top of the page**

SUMMARY:November Steering Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Minutes from the meeting taken by John Morris from Source Partnership: \nNotes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 28th November 2018 in the Community Centre \n  \n\n\n\nThose Present:\nCllr Brian Bell (BB) (Chair) \n18 residents from various blocks\n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\nRon Greenwood (RG) \nBronwen Thomas (BT) \nCarol Squires  (CS) \nJohn Morris \nNatalie Adubofour\n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n \nApologies were received from: Cllr Clare Potter. \n \n \n\n\n2.0 \nNotes of previous meeting and matters arising\n \n\n\n2.1\nKH requested that on page 3\, top para\, 3rd line\, the minute “40% of Wallington residents” read “40% of all residents.” His intention at the last meeting was to argue that the feedback from consultations had led him to assume that 40% of all Kings Crescent residents would oppose the creation of the 11 storey block. It was unclear whether this was an inaccurate minute or what KH had meant to say. \n \n \n\n\n2.2\nMatters arising: \nIt was noted that Sainsburys was opening tomorrow (29th).\n  \n  \n \n\n\n3.0\nUpdate on play street  \n \n\n\n3.1\nMarkings on the street and the bell bollards are now in place. Signage was delayed by at least two further weeks. \n \n \n\n\n4.0\nKings Crescent Story \n \n \n\n\n4.1\nBT gave a presentation on the outline of the KC Story as compiled by Ranait of Source. Some additional contributions would still be welcomed. \n \n \n\n\n5.0\nFeedback from Bourne Estate visit \n \n \n\n\n5.1\nDP was invited to give his feedback. He noted that the caretaking seemed to be better there and so refuse chutes were still used. His perception of the distance between blocks was that although 16m seemed generous at ground level\, at first floor and above\, it seemed a lot closer and that there was a feeling of overlooking. \nRG added that the central courtyard at Bourne was comparable in size to the one proposed at King’s Crescent which will be 36m in width. \n  \nBB asked about the community centre at Bourne. RG thought that the KC scheme proposals will provide a much better community facility space. \n  \nBB asked for an update on the management of Unit C as a temporary community space. RG reported that a potential provider has been identified who will offer a comprehensive range of activities and a fit out for temp. community use for 5 years. LBH are inviting another potential provider to talk through their proposals before making a decision and starting the process of drawing up a lease for signing. One factor has been the constraints that will need to be imposed because of the residential units above the centre. BB made the point that it will be crucial to have a space that is well used and busy. RG will ask the successful organisation to give a presentation to the RSG. \n  \nEF asked if this will be a commercial operator. RG confirmed that the organisation in question is a charity. \n  \nMJ asked if the centre would be run on similar lines as the one at Cazenove where some activities are available for £1. RG – a lot of activities will be subsidised but not necessarily free. \n  \nAC asked where this arrangement works well. BT suggested the Robin Redmond Centre at Woodberry Down and centres at Hackney Wick and Haggerston. \n  \nBT added that for further comparison for other features of the new KC development\, LBH would be trying to organise a visit to commercial workspace units situated under residential in the new year. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nFinal exhibition 10th December\n \n\n\n6.1 \n \nRG notified the meeting that the final exhibition of the proposals before submission to planning is on Monday 10th December between 2.30 and 8.30 p.m. in Unit C. This will not be as extensive an exhibition as previous events. The model will be central to the event but there will be fewer boards that will pick up on: \n·         lessons learnt and a summary of what has been taken on board from feedback and what hasn’t from previous exhibitions\, drop ins\, visits and doorknocking exercises \n·         changes made to the masterplan \n·         daylight/sunlight studies \n·         parking\, service delivery and refuse arrangements \n·         the look and feel of the 3 proposed courtyards with details of the associated buildings\, landscaping\, public realm\, planting and the games court \n·         the refurbishment proposals \n  \nKH asked if there will any opportunity for further feedback. RG replied that this will be limited as this is the last exhibition before a planning application. There will be opportunities for representations as part of the formal planning process. KH feels that the feedback forms that were submitted after the July event were not taken into account. RG’s view is that it could not be certain whether feedback forms were submitted from households or individuals so how representative this was could not be ascertained\, particularly since there are almost 550 households on the estate. \n  \nAC thought that communications had not been great. She only heard of the issues from word of mouth. Is the website up to date? BT said that the KC proposals and consultation info should link from the main LBH website. \n  \nAC hoped that feedback is not being dismissed and she would be happy to provide feedback from Kimpton Court. RG made the point that other stakeholders’ views needed to be taken into account as well\, including the GLA\, design panel etc. KH suggested that LBH will have ignored the views of a substantial number of residents. In the written reply from RG to KH\, it is implied that everyone else except the active Wallington Court residents supports the proposals. RG read an excerpt from a letter of support he had received from a Kimpton Court resident. NF asked if the writer gave evidence to back up their support for the proposals. \n  \nKH acknowledged that views were polarised. EF claimed 27 in Wallington Court opposed to the scheme. She asked how residents can be sure that feedback has been fairly represented if RG only feeds back positive reactions? RG has never read out opposed feedback\, so how can we trust the LBH viewpoint? RG responded that the negative feedback was being articulated regularly at RSG meetings\, in writing to other council staff and the local MP.  EF asked what others in the meeting felt (NB\, this was not answered by any other attendees). WD said he had not given feedback\, so does RG assume he is in favour of the plans? \n \n \n\n\n6.2\nTimetable \nBB asked about the timetable from now on. RG – indicative timescale would be: \n·         Exhibition 10/12 \n·         Finalisation of detailed design early in new year \n·         March 2019 planning application submitted \n·         Approx. Sept 2019 determination given. \nRunning concurrently to these will be: \n·         Expressions of Interest for main developer April 2019 \n·         Shortlist June \n·         Tenders returned Sept \n·         Cabinet sign off by Nov? \n·         Negotiations with the successful tenderer up to Jan 2020 when contract would be signed \n·         Start on site possibly Spring/early Summer 2020 \n·         3 year programme\, with refurbishment largely done first \n·         2022-2023 phased handovers \nResident representation on the interview panel for the contractor will be encouraged. NB a key qualitative measure will be how contractors propose to work on an occupied site. \n  \nRG added that one key consistent message was that residents just want the works to get going. \n  \nPS asked if LBH had any contractors in mind. RG replied that there needs to be a formal and open tender process but key criteria will be ability to work on a complex scheme with residents in situ. \n  \nBB encouraged those opposed to the scheme in its current form to exercise their right to write to the mayor and their MP. \n  \nAC asked why LBH will not flip the site of the tall block. RG summarised the reasons: sunlight from the S and SW will be maximised through the large central courtyard\, which he believed will be better than a run of buildings along Murrain Rd\, the design concept is to step down heights of blocks along Murrain Rd and there is a need to build the number of homes proposed to fund social rent\, the external improvements to existing blocks and provision of the community centre . \n  \nSC suggested there is a feeling of irritation amongst residents that LBH want to move on and shut down further conversation. RG believes the arguments have been rehearsed enough at consultation events. SC believes that opposing views could have been treated with more respect. SC asked if it is true that building high gives LBH the chance to maximise the value of flats at the top of the blocks. RG  stressed that LBH felt the design was right but that it was also true that higher values can be achieved by building taller blocks. An additional factor was the desire to knit together the two halves of the estate by creating a large central courtyard. \n  \nBB brought the discussion to a close by reminding the meeting that there are other channels through which to continue to make representations. \n \n \n\n\n7.0\nAny urgent business\n \n\n\n7.1\nThere was none. \n \n \n\n\n8.0\nDate of next meeting\n \n\n\n8.1\nNext meeting 17/12/18; a short meeting with Christmas snacks after. \n \n \n\n\n\n  \nThe Meeting closed at 8.10 pm

SUMMARY:Police Ward Panel Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The local police are holding a public meeting regarding community policing in Brownswood Ward.\n\nWhat is a Police Ward Panel Meeting?\n\nWard Panels are an instrumental part of local police engagement in London “As Met Police Safer Neighbourhood (SN) teams engage with communities\, through various methods such as meetings or contact sessions\, the teams will gain an insight into the local community’s crime and disorder concerns. In order to ensure that the work of each police team is focused on resolving these problems\, each police team will require a process to involve local people to decide promises for them to work on.\n\n\nThe Ward Panel will decide the promises for the area by examining the results of community feedback and research by police and partners such as Hackney Council and local housing management offices. This will include taking account of results from crime data\, public events and meetings where the community have voiced concerns. In addition to promise setting the panel is also fully involved in deciding what type of action should be taken on their concerns and have an input to the problem solving approach.

Date of next meeting \n  \nMinutes: \n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\nCllr Brian Bell (BB) (Chair) \n7 residents \nRon Greenwood (RG) \nBronwen Thomas (BT) \nCarol Squires  (CS) \nJohn Morris (JM) \nMenekse Sayitoglu (MS) \nLiza Fior (LF)\n  \n  \n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nMUF Landscape Architects \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n \nApologies were received from: Cllr Clare Potter\, Karsten Hartmann\, Emma Crouch \n \n \n\n\n2.0 \nNotes of previous meeting and matters arising\n \n\n\n2.1\nThe notes were agreed as accurate.\n \n\n\n2.2\nMatters arising: \n4.1 in previous minutes. BB reinforced the post meeting note that was made regarding the leaseholder recharge cap. He emphasised that the negotiated cap that has been in place since 2011 should apply to the whole development.  RG added that a paper has gone to senior officers before being issued to the Mayor on the financial implications of this. \n  \nA matter arising from previous Partnership meetings is to note that new CCTV is being installed in Weston Court. \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n3.0\nUpdate on phases 3 & 4 \n \n\n\n3.1\nGeneral update (RG). \ni)                    Work with LBH Highways Dept and on estate traffic\, parking etc. \n  \nFurther discussions on parking will take place in September. RG confirmed that any resident who currently has an estate parking permit will still be able to use it after the development is completed.  There are 47 parking spaces on the south side\, 25 on north. Of the 47\, 6 spaces will be for blue badge holders\, spread evenly around the estate.  In addition there will be 2 car club spaces. LBH policy also means that 20% of the spaces will provide for electric vehicles. \n  \nOther issues being worked on include: cycle stores across the estate\, how deliveries can be accommodated and how vehicles move in and out of the estate\, how refuse is collected. In particular\, further discussion with Highways is needed on reconciling need for a delivery bay outside the Green Lanes commercial units (A & B) and the plans for a cycle lane along Green Lanes. \n  \nBB felt that the electric vehicle provision was high; RG emphasised that this was policy and part of the ‘future proofing’ of the development. \n  \nPA asked why blue badge holders get so many dedicated parking spaces when they can already park anywhere (including on double yellow lines for a fixed period). RG replied that this in compliance with LBH and GLA policy and also responds to a number of residents at consultation events who complained that they cannot park close to home even with a disabled badge.  PA raised the issue of blue badges being displayed by drivers who should not have them. BB assured him that the council’s Audit Committee regularly receive details of action against blue badge fraud including prosecutions and revocations. He should report any such suspected cases. \n  \nii) Design Team update  \n  \nArchitects are working on Stage 2 designs – internal layouts and refurb details being refined. There will be a delay while the financial impact of these are being considered by LBH. Stage 3 follows – preparation of the planning application. \n  \nii)                  Programme  \n  \nNext week’s consultation on Wednesday 3RD Oct concentrates on pubic realm proposals. Then November’s consultation will focus on refurbishment proposals. Final pre-planning exhibition is now scheduled for before Christmas with planning submission Jan 2019. SH asked when\, on this schedule\, work would start. RG – possibly around Feb 2020\, though this will be dependent on a successful planning application which will allow for contractor procurement etc. to take place over summer 2019. \n \n \n\n\n3.2\nPublic realm proposals presentation from Liza Fior (MUF)  \nLF gave a presentation that demonstrated the current proposals for the public realm in phases 3 and 4. The following comments/questions were made/asked: \n·         DS thought there would be more of a sense of ownership created by the option of building walls on the Queens Drive corners. \n·         With regard to the garden plots\, LF wants to talk further to existing gardeners to fine tune the proposals. MS expressed a preference for plots in the central area; they would be safer\, over looked. BB commented that these would have to be very well managed to avoid this area becoming an eyesore. It was noted that John Lonergan in the New Build Team is responsible for the current plots. At the moment\, 2 growing seasons are guaranteed for plot holders. If plots are not used\, they will be re-allocated to someone on the waiting list. LF pointed out that the garden areas will be the last element of the development to be completed\, so there is time to determine demand. \n·         PA asked why there wasn’t more ‘defensive planting’ instead of bare walls. LF gave an example of St Marks Church in Dalston where play equipment fencing has been covered in greenery. She added that paler bricks can work well and can deter graffiti.  SH would welcome more green to offset brickwork. \n·         As part of architect’s Stage 3 work\, the question of how to address the security of the central area is being discussed. Further details of proposals can be viewed and discussed at the consultation event on Wednesday afternoon\, 3/10\, 4.00 to 8.00 in the community centre. \n·\n \n\n\n4.0\nUpdate on Northside play street and traffic calming \nBT reported that additional signage and bollards are on order\, should be in place by end of October. LBH sign makers are doing the No Entry signs. Materials still being decided for the barriers. With regard to scooters using pavements\, the police and the ASB team need people to report instances straight away and\, if possible\, with reg. numbers. BB repeated the lesson\, not to build a play street that looked like a road! \n \n \n\n\n5.0\nSocial and community initiatives \n \n\n\n5.1\nKings Crescent Story \nRanait (Source intern) has been working on this over the last few weeks. She has gathered lots of information that will be collated and ready by the time of the next RSG. A final decision can be made on how this is all presented (Book? Film? Other medium?) early 2019 in time for the planning application. \n \n  \n \n\n\n5.2\nCommunity Facilities  \nRG reported that a tender is currently out for social enterprises and community centre managers to express interest in running Unit C as a space for community activities for the KC estate and their own business. A 5 year lease is on offer in order to properly pilot an approach that could be adopted for the permanent centre.  End of October is deadline for expressions of interest.  DS asked when the facility might be available. RG replied that part of the tender is for businesses to propose a timescale for opening for activities. What will happen to this building (the current community centre)? If Unit C is up and running there could be a temporary use agreed while it is still here; could be another 1 to 1.5 years.  EP asked if residents will get a say; RG agreed that residents should certainly be involved in decisions around the use and management of the permanent centre. \n \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.3\nStudy visit to Bourne Estate \nA visit to the Bourne Estate in Clerkenwell is proposed for Sat. 3rd November. A different architect was involved but Higgins were the building contractors. Also\, we hope to visit the community space there. \n  \nThe other commercial units were discussed: \n·         BB asked for the sign saying ‘Unit B\, Clissold Quarter’ to be changed. BT to contact the lessees or LBH commercial lettings. \n·         Both Units A and D should be open and trading by early 2019. \n  \nPA asked about the current position on the proposed loading bay for Sainsbury’s. BT replied that LBH Highways now don’t want a bay so deliveries will have to unload on Green Lanes. Generally\, loading bays are discouraged. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBT\n\n\n5.4\nSocial events  \nSource’s two events in August attracted 47 different people. This proved to be a good way for residents to become more familiar with the phase 3&4 proposals in a more informal environment. \n \n  \n  \n \n\n\n6.0\nSupported Residents Group\n \n\n\n6.1\nWebsite and feedback from SRG meeting 13th Sept \nThe website designed by DS and with content written and collated by EP\, was launched at the event. It has been welcomed and recognised as well designed and a valuable source of information and\, in the future\, interaction between residents. \nJM fed back on the meeting that was planned to be an AGM; a decision on a Chair and committee was postponed as no one at the meeting was prepared to immediately take on any of the positions. \n \n \n\n\n7.0\nAny urgent business \n \n \n\n\n7.1\nPS asked about the phasing of the south side works. RG responded that the exact phasing and timings will emerge from discussions with the successful contractor. The contractor will be invited to RSG to discuss this and there will be a resident rep participating in the contractor selection. BB pointed out that it will be around a year and a half before these decisions will be made. \n \n  \nBB\n\n\n7.2\nAF reported that a lift in Weston Court was out of action – details to be taken after the meeting. \n \n \n\n\n7.3\nPA asked if a green wall could be created on the end of Weston Court. LF will take this back to the landscape design team; it’s a v. expensive option but there is a successful example in Homerton.\nLF\n\n\n8.0\nDates of next meetings \n  \n24th Oct\, 7.00 pm \n28th Nov\, 7.00 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n  \nThe Meeting closed at 8.25 pm

SUMMARY:September Residents Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\n\nAnnual General meeting\nKings Crescent Website\nResident Campaigns\nSocial Activities / Funding / Grants\n\nMinutes:\nMeeting Summary:\nThis meeting had a great turnout with over 20 residents in attendance along with Cllr Clare Potter – Brownswood Ward Councillor and Hackney Speaker\, John Morris – Source Partnership\, and Oliur Rahman – Hackney housing Resident Participation Manager. \n  \nWhat the group is\nOliur explained the purpose of the group is to raise issues/concerns/problems\, with a member of the housing team here to support us. The meeting is for us as a community with support in how to solve issues. It has been running for a year. \n  \nAGM\nThe plan was to hold an ‘Annual General Meeting’ today to elect a new chair and leadership committee. The aim of the committee is to hold smaller meetings between the main residents’ meetings to work on issues\, run campaigns\, lobby council etc. Roy is stepping down as chair to allow others to fill role. Oliur and residents agreed that Roy has done a great job and built momentum in getting the group to where it is now. There was a concern that since this meeting was many resident’s first time\, it may be a bit to soon to expect to elect a new committee. Oliur proposed that he would be willing to chair the meetings in the interim until the group is ready to form a committee and elect a chair. This was agreed to by the residents in attendance. \n(Correction: 30/11/18 – After writing these minutes I spoke to Roy and he said that he was not intending to step down from the committee. He was happy to remain as chair if needed\, but was open to another resident taking the helm if there was someone willing to take it on. Either way he would like to remain on the committee. EP) \nEstate Initiatives\nOliur introduced the idea of projects for the estate on behalf of the council. \n\nWheely Tots: Hackney have tried Wheely Tots at events in the past. David Pitcher attended the meeting to introduce Wheely Tots and the plan to host children’s bike events on Kings Crescent. Wheely Tots will be running cycling sessions for 2 to 4-year olds on Wednesday mornings from next week\, 9.30-11.30am. This will be a 6-week trial to see how popular it is. They will bring lots of balance bikes for children to try. The sessions are free but donations welcome. Look out for leaflets or see their website http://wheelytots.com/about/ The team can also run sessions for older children and families providing advice on bike mechanics and cycling for all age children and adults. Can look to do after school and/or weekend sessions at a later date if there is a desire for it. To get in touch with Wheely Tots with questions or suggestions email info@wheelytots.com\nZumba and yoga should be starting in October. We will be notified. Again\, this will be a trial basis for 6 weeks to see how popular it is. It will be council funded and held in the community centre.\n\n  \nIssues to raise\n\nNeed more space for secure\, indoor bike provision. Oliur said there could be an option for close lids bike shelters but would be a service charge. Roy had experience with ones on street: anyone can use\, about £30 per year\, get a key to use it. Secure to padlock it inside. Is bolted to the floor. Could speak to regeneration colleagues to see how it fits in.\nNo parking available on the estate now\, this is an issue for the older residents who rely on carers or family bringing shopping etc. Hackney wide initiative trying to reduce cars in the borough. Cllr Potter mentioned there has been abuse of visitor parking\, change of policy to try to try to manage it. All new builds are now car free\, but it is having a knock-on effect on the existing residents. Parking will get worse during next build phase. Can still get visitor vouchers for side streets/Queens Drive. Cllr Potter mentioned that Hackney are trying to manage the situation fairly\, but she will take those concerns back to Hackney.\n\n  \nFeedback from last meeting (Oliur):\n\nConcerns about changes and increases to service charges. Final bill coming in October\, for some this will be the first service charge bill. Council will hold some surgeries to discuss this with individuals. The original estimates were based on 2014/15 actuals when road and estate cleaning was separate but now together\, big change.\nCleaning – asked new build teams to see how can be reduced. One option team suggests is to have allocated cleaners. Currently new blocks have 4 full time posts equivalent cleaners but suggestion to reduce to 3 posts. Reactive cleaning won’t take place straight away – just on the scheduled days that week. Unless it’s a health and safety issue\, then still within 24hrs. Letter will come out about this. Pay attention from 1st oct to see if happy with the change. Not sure how often the scheduled cleaning is.\nPigeon issue on the estate. Has been a few issues on what can be done\, lots of discussion on this. Consultation and different options will go out to all the estate. Look out for that. It did stop for a while\, but now lots of people have moved in and some people feed them!!! Suggested to put warning in the next newsletter. Apparently\, it is on the lease that residents are not supposed to feed them.\nTraffic calming issues – will be more coming in October\, painting to the play street. Need more humps\, bollards etc. Lots of motorbikes still going through the play area. Bells barriers planned. Children event did some plans. Change the colour will change the perception. Will be more markings and yellow lines taken off.\n\n  \nFunding/grants\nAll estates have a community development fund they can use. This summer residents used some of this to fund trip to Broadstairs. This was advertised at the community event. Was some miscommunication about how it was paid for. Council paid for it\, not from service charge. Patricia commented that they had a wonderful time! A few of the older residents who have been living on the estate for 50 years mentioned they used to go to seaside a lot! \nThere is still some money left in the pot (£800-£1000 available) Suggestion to do something in winter. Oliur is compiling email list to inform residents. Ideas…Christmas party\, trip to see a pantomime\, party to combat winter blues at end Jan when it’s miserable\, winter BBQ with\, gazebos\, mulled wine etc. Bring something to contribute to a party makes it nicer. \n  \nSocial Events\nNext coffee afternoon 2-4pm 27 Sept \nHope to have more regular events again\, the older residents commented that it would be good to do more like they used to have in the previous hall. \n  \nCommittee\nIdeally need 4-5 people to get things moving in between the main meetings (can use hall for free for meetings if needed). Lots of new faces today so all decided it is best not to rush into forming an official committee now. Oliur is happy to keep chairing for now. He can have separate conversations with anyone interested in getting involved. \nJohn asked if anyone would be interested in forming an interim group to get things going. Only Emley and David put up their hands to offer to be involved\, but others later said they could help too. \n  \nNew Website\nDavid S and Emley P have built a new website to help keep residents informed and encourage community\, see: kingscrescent.org \nOliur mentioned there is also another website potential on the Hackney site. \n  \nAny other issues\nYounger residents would like a youth group. David from Wheely Tots mentioned there is lots of finding available for this if it is something to do with bikes! He is happy to help with this. Ideas- can separate the age groups\, education based\, 12+ study prep or hangout with other young residents. Oliur suggested contacting him about ideas and what kids want. \n  \nRound of applause at the end for Roy in expression of everyone’s gratitude for his work for the resident’s group so far \n  \nIf you want something on the agenda for the next meeting\, want to get involved\, or have ideas fr anything contact Oliur: oliur.rahman2@hackney.gov.uk

SUMMARY:July steering group meeting
DESCRIPTION:Notes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 24th July 2018 in the Community Centre \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\n12 residents \nCllr Brian Bell (BB) (Chair) \nRon Greenwood (RG) \nBronwen Thomas (BT) \nCarol Squires  (CS) \nJohn Morris \nMenekse Sayitoglu\n  \n  \n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n \nApologies were received from: Cllr Clare Potter. \n \n \n\n\n2.0 \nNotes of previous meeting and matters arising\n \n\n\n2.1\nThe notes were agreed as accurate.\n \n\n\n2.2\nMatters arising: \n3.1 in previous minutes. BT reported that Higgins now off site but will return in September to start end of first year defects checks. Marketing suite (Unit B) handing back next week. \n  \n3.3 in previous minutes: commercial lettings. RG reported that Unit D (opp Costcutters) progressing; looking hopeful for letting as a barbers. Sainsburys targeting 1/11/18 opening in Unit A. Unit B lease being finalised with Hourglass (indy coffee shop). Senior management team in LBH looking this week to make a decision on commercial letting vs community use for Unit C. \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n3.0\nUpdate on Northside play street and traffic calming \n \n\n\n3.1\nBT reported that speed humps will be created in the next 2 weeks.  New boulders/bollards are being procured and should be fitted in the next 3 months; target date\, end of October. New signage should also be in place by the Autumn. EC asked how many No Entry signs there will be; 4 in total one on each side of the road at each end of Murrain Rd. BT added that this should also make it easier to challenge drivers who drive onto the street. BB urged officers to progress this as quickly as possible.\n \n\n\n4.0\nUpdate on phases 3 & 4\n \n\n\n4.1\nInitial feedback from design exhibition 23 July \n  \nRG reported that 84 people signed in; 48 from existing blocks\, 31 from the new blocks and 5 from off the estate. On a small sample of the feedback forms\, initial comments were varied between positive and negative on the new massing and height proposals\, similarly mixed on the central square and there was a general welcome to the way the design has developed and that feedback from previous consultation has been taken on board. \n  \nKH indicated that there were still concerns. A resident did their own daylight study and suggested moving the 11 storey block further south to increase the amount of sunlight cast on Murrain Rd and the front elevations of the blocks facing it. This wasn’t exhibited in the new proposals. Further opposition to the current scheme is being organised. \n  \nEC asked why the illustrated options were restricted to just the outline planning scheme and the current version; no other options seem to have been considered. She also noted that it is difficult to interpret the drawings; could the proposals be presented as a video? RG stated that every resident was given the opportunity to have an accompanied tour of the exhibition and therefore for the daylight/sunlight exhibition board to be explained. \n  \nRG stated that many others have fed into these design proposals\, including the planning team\, a Design Review Panel and Client Design Panel. \n  \nJG welcomed the proposals for the refurbishment of the existing blocks but asked about likely leaseholder contributions. RG replied that costs are still being evaluated and a final decision on the extent of cost recovery will be made by the Mayor and Cabinet with a possible decision being made in approx. 9 months time. EP stated that everyone has been led to believe that there will be a cap of £10\,000 on leaseholder contributions that will benefit the southside owners. PA endorsed the assumption that the cap promise applies to the whole scheme\, not just phases 1 & 2. BB stated that a different financial assessment will be made for phases 3 & 4\, so the cap will not necessarily apply (NB – post meeting note: BB confirmed by e mail that in fact he does believe the negotiated cap applies to the whole development). \n \nThe \n\n\n4.2\nFeedback from young people’s consultation \n  \nMUF organised this event early July to talk to young people about design ideas for the public realm. Mostly attended by pre-teens. It was noted there was a serious lack of feedback from teenagers and young people. Feedback from younger kids and parents generally positive. MUF’s analysis of the consultation is awaited. \n \n \n\n\n5.0\nSocial and community initiatives \n \n\n\n5.1\nKings Crescent Story \n  \nBT is working with Source intern to talk to people over the summer. Interest is gradually increasing\, e.g. someone had photos of the demolitions of the tower blocks.\n  \n \n\n\n5.2\nCommunity Facilities  \nSource are currently drafting a report for RG to demonstrate possible usage of Unit C as a community facility. This will support the case internally in LBH for the space being used for community activities and it will also inform discussions progressing with a possible tenant. \n \n  \n  \nSource\n\n\n5.3\nStudy visits \nBT looking at another visit to look at high density new build as well as new community facilities. Bourne Estate in Clerkenwell a possible venue for a visit after the summer holiday period. \n \nSource/LBH\n\n\n5.4\nSocial events  \nSource summer social next Thursday\, 2nd August\, 5.00 to 8.30. This will give residents a further opportunity to look at and discuss the presentation boards. \n \n  \n  \nSource\n\n\n6.0\nSupported Residents Group\n \n\n\n6.1\nWebsite \nDS is designing a website with two areas; one for interaction/chat\, the other for information. DS has asked for assistance with the text for the second section. Target to be ready by the SRG AGM in September. \n \n \n\n\n6.2\nFuture meetings \nAGM 13/9/18. Following the election of officers\, there will be more frequent committee meetings. The next open meeting after the AGM will be in December. \n \n \n\n\n7.0\nAny urgent business \n \n \n\n\n7.1\nPS reported that the lift in Theobalds Court has been out of order now for 6 weeks. BB promised to chase the repair. \n \n  \nBB\n\n\n7.2\nRG asked if residents would want another exhibition for the landscape and refurb proposals in September\, followed by the final exhibition for the new build proposals in October. This was the preference. \n \n \n\n\n7.3\nFollowing questions about the feedback from Monday’s exhibition\, RG agreed to have the analysis collated by 10th August for circulation. \n \n \n\n\n8.0\nDates of next meetings \n  \n26th Sept\, 7.00 pm\, \n24th Oct\, 7.00 pm \n28th Nov\, 7.00 pm \n \n \n\n\n\n  \nThe Meeting closed at 7.55 pm
