LW to remind Tom (Roberts of HHB).  The rest of the minutes were agreed.\n  \nLW\n\n\n3.0\nProject update – Lee Walsh\n \n\n\n3.1 \n  \n3.2 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nLW gave an update on Mulalley’s activities since the last meeting and proposed timings for future events. Presentation slides are attached with these minutes. [Slides HERE] \n  \nQuestions/comments \n  \nEP noted that the hoarding for DZ6S seemed to be going up. RG confirmed struts are in place. LW to further investigate this. \n  \nKM raised the concerns that may be expressed at the loss of the play street for 3 months. LW clarified that there will not be a loss of space but that there needs to be temporary access from Green Lanes provided for emergency vehicles as a result of the sewer diversion works.  CP noted concerns and asked that the changes to the play street happen asap to minimise disruption during the Spring and Summer seasons. \n  \nEP addressed the general issue of children’s play and complaints from some residents about noise. In the longer term\, can residents be assured that LBH\, when marketing new flats\, will make it clear that they are situated on an estate with many families? \n  \nRG – new MUGA plans will start to be developed in the Spring. LBH are aware of how intensively the courtyards are used. There will be a management strategy in place for public realm as part of the planning application. \n  \nPC asked how the decommissioning of parking spaces will be managed. RG – some spaces have already been taken out of use. The process will be phased and LBH think there will be enough spaces for existing users. Regen. Team are working closely with the Parking team. RG and JS will hold surgeries to deal with queries and concerns with the proposed parking restrictions\, supplemented by Source drop ins (first Wednesday of every month). \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLW \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n4.0\nFeedback from 2/12/25 exhibition – Joe Stancer\n \n\n\n4.1 \n  \n  \n  \n4.2 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nJS presented the outcomes of December’s consultations. The comments from the exhibition held on 2/12 were generally positive about the development and the survey on brick colours resulted in an overwhelming vote in favour of the lighter colour (57 in favour of the lighter brick\, 7 in favour of the current\, darker red colour). There was also an invitation to RSG to suggest ways to canvass views on the proposed Weston Court\, Green Lanes façade artwork. See attached slides. \n  \nEP asked about wider publicity for artwork ideas. Could the Youth Club be involved? KM suggested a history of the estate as a theme; she had been impressed by a mural at Regents Park Estate\, LB Camden that featured people who used to live there. CP noted the work that went into the history project and the photography project 10 years ago. \n  \nPC thought the model at the exhibition was very helpful to help residents understand the phase 3&4 plans. \n  \nCS asked how the outcomes from the exhibition are to be communicated\, noting that residents have expressed frustration in the past at being consulted but then not finding out the outcomes of that consultation. \n  \nIt was agreed that feedback should be produced before news of the outcome of the planning application. In order to do this more quickly\, LW offered Mulalley to produce the publicity from material written by LBH.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLBH/Mulalley\n\n\n5.0\nSocial Value\n \n\n\n5.1\nCS observed that residents were unsure about how they can influence social value contributions. \n  \nLW – Christina Byrne\, Social Value Manager at Mulalley has been in touch with KM re some funding for allotments and will be making further contact soon to scope out what Mulalley can offer. CS – can she come to the March RSG? LW to check her availability over the next 2 months to get KC social value engagement moving. \n  \nLW reminded the meeting that Mulalley have one fund to spread across the 3 projects it is working on in Hackney at the moment\, although KC is the largest. There will be significantly more money available once formally in contract and on site. Mulalley currently fund the local food bank. The meeting called for Mulalley to publicise more what it is funding; LW to co-ordinate this information for the RSG. As before\, LW suggested that residents draw up a ‘shopping list’ of needs for Mulalley to use to target its funding. EP made the point that similar exercises have taken place in the past and she would feel reluctant to ask everyone again to elicit the same information. \n  \nGetting residents involved in these kinds of exercises has proved difficult. KM suggested setting up a stall outside Hackney Showroom to gather views. LW warned of managing expectations. \n \n  \n  \n  \nLW \n  \n  \n  \nLW \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n6.0\nITLA update\, RSG terms of reference – Source\n \n\n\n6.1\nCS expressed It was noted that there were more apologies from residents than attended. Our summary paper (attached) indicates that general motivations for being an RSG member and attending meetings was to receive updated information and to be kept informed. Source can offer induction training/workships for residents interested in becoming RSG members. It was agreed that Source will target publicity/invitations to unrepresented blocks (e.g. social housing blocks at the west end of Murrain Road). \n  \nResidents at this meeting all agreed that they found the meetings very useful\, otherwise they would not know what’s going on. JM suggested that now that Mulalley updates with clear presentations are a key part of the agenda\, residents might find attending meetings more informative. \n  \nIt was agreed that an open event in the summer to mark the completion of the planning process would be organised to attract and inform residents. \n  \nCS reminded the meeting that Source will continue its drop ins every first Wednesday of each month. Timings to be reviewed\, to 4.30 to 6.30 or 5.00 to 7.00\, subject to the availability of HS space. \n \n  \n  \n  \nSource  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSource\, LBH\, Mulalley\n\n\n7.0 \nAOB\n \n\n\n7.1\ni) PD reported that the run off from jet-washed wheels of construction vehicles could be causing drain blockages. LW to raise this with the relevant team\, look at fitting silt filters to drains and carry out a drain survey. Mulalley have permission from Thames Water to deal with drain blockages now. \n  \nii) PD also raised the issue of the slope around the new DZ6S hoardings that could become very muddy and difficult to navigate when access to the bus stop on Green Lanes is restricted by the hoarding. LW to check this on site. \n  \niii) MS reported that most questions she receives are around start on site dates. LW could not provide a definite date as the time the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) may take to provide approval is unknown. But the aspiration is still to start on site towards the end of 2026/start of 2027. \n  \nKM asked how long it may take to mobilise for a start on site once  BSR approval is received. LW – not long but contracts with sub contractors and final procurements will need to completed after approvals\, which could take approx. 2 months. \n  \niv) EP asked why the lights on hoardings had to be so bright and why some are pink\, some white. LW will check with relevant team; some may still be waiting for shrouds to be fitted. Also to check colours! \n  \nv) EP also noted that leaseholders’ estate lighting bills have increased by approx. £400 p.a. Are Mulalley using estate lighting that is paid for by owners? LW confirmed not. \n \n  \nLW \n  \n  \n  \nLW \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLW\n\n\n8.0\nDate of next meeting \nTuesday 17/3/26 at 7pm\n \n\n\n\n  \n
