Half A Million for the New Major Works...
Camden Council
is proposing these new major works because
according to Mr Gareth Chew email on the
01st November 2012
"the boilers and plant room equipment in
the boiler house have reached the end of their
useful life. This is supported by the high
levels of breakdowns, extent of repairs and the
options Appraisal that was undertaken earlier this
year. Last financial year (2011/12), maintenance
costs were £43,000 (£150 per dwelling). This
figure is expected to rise significantly unless a
major refurbishment of the heating scheme is
completed." .

... when
everything is "fine" for another 10 years*:
|
|
| |
A. The
boiler house plant is in fairly good
condition and has had the refractory brickwork
replaced recently in all three boilers. It is
estimated that the boilers/burners have
another ten years life expectancy.
|
|
B.
The control panel controls and wiring has
approximately ten years life expectancy.
C. The
calorifiers will be new.
|
|
D.
The pumps are in good condition and
should also last another ten years. |

Cavity Wall Insulation Works
|
 |
|
Residents
Deserve Much More |
Camden
Council has informed us that they have secured
funding to complete their cavity wall insulation
programme. They will be externally surveying your
home to confirm if it has cavity or solid walls
and will insulate any tillable cavity walls.
Statutory leaseholder consultation will not be
necessary as the works will be done at very low, and
in some cases, no cost to Camden.
The
insulation will be installed using two types of
access: ladders for low rise buildings and rope
access (i.e. abseilors) for high rise buildings.
The
works are undertaken from the outside of the
property by drilling holes at regular points through
which the insulation can be injected. There will be
some noise and dust whilst the drilling works are
undertaken but we will ensure the contractors, Zero
Carbon will keep this to a minimum.

Hot Water Compensation (Jan - April 2012)
Camden Council has finally agreed to
compensate Leaseholders £100 for the 3-4 months loss
of hot water.
Patrick O'Neil stated on his email:
“We have undertaken an analysis of
the heating /hot water failures at the block.
Many of the failures were partial and would not be
caught by our compensation policy.
However in the light
of the representations made by Cllr Robinson and the
levels of inconvenience caused we have agreed to
award £100 to each residency.”
However
they are many objections on this subject since some
residents have already received higher compensations
on May 2012 for exactly the same problem.
