Harriott, Apsley and Pattison Houses

Newsletter September 2025

Dear Residents,

You’ll have noticed that there’s been a lot of activity around your estate since the early summer. The pram sheds have now all be vacated and the council’s development partner Vistry have installed site hoarding around the pram sheds and the former adult care centre, making the area safe for the demolition of these buildings. The estate Residents Panel met with the project team, staff from Vistry as well as the council’s Neighbourhood Housing Officer for your estate on 10th September to share updates and hear any live issues facing residents

Come and hear the latest news on the scheme

The council and Vistry would like to invite all residents of the estate to an engagement event, to give you the chance to hear from the team about all areas of the project and ask any questions you may have. Attendees will include:

• Representatives from Vistry will be on hand to discuss construction matters,

• the Council’s appointed valuer Tim Surry (from JLL) will be available for leaseholders to progress their buyback conversations,

• colleagues from the council’s Housing Options team will be there for Tenants to address any concerns or discuss any changes in circumstance.

It would be great to see you at either the Saturday 11th or Tuesday 14th at Stepney City Farm.

Event date:

Saturday 11th Oct at 10am – 1pm

and

Tuesday 14th Oct at 4 – 7pm

Venue: Stepney City Farm, Stepney Way September 2025

Construction Update

Since the last newsletter, you will have noticed less on-site activity, while Vistry completed site surveys for pre-commencement planning conditions. Vistry has also been working to get dates from the statutory authorities to disconnect services to the adult care building. Once the services have been disconnected and planning conditions approved, demolition can start. A newsletter will be shared with residents ahead of demolition starting to confirm timescales.

There have been a few issues of concern raised by residents with the project team to do with rubbish collections and concernsregarding anti-social behaviour. Residents of the estate were very quick to contact the council so that we could act on this with expediency. We very much appreciate residents getting in touch with us so we can address issues quickly and appropriately to lessen the impact of the works.
