Brook House Redevelopment Plans
On Monday 6 September we held a meeting with residents of Brook House.
We discussed the concerns some residents have raised about aspects of their homes. Issues include the size of flats, noise insulation and thermal efficiency. Not everyone felt like this. Some people clearly love their current homes. But long term we do not feel that the Brook House flats will meet the standards we aspire to for WPH homes
Improvement or refurbishment would not be economically possible for us. We are a small HA with limited income. So the only solution appears to be to demolish the existing properties and provide new homes in their place. We are not yet sure whether a viable scheme can be developed but we want to let residents know that we are considering this as early as possible.
Brook House residents will be closely involved in the whole process, including the design of the new homes we may build on the site.
The next step will be to meet with residents individually to discuss their particular circumstances and a representative of Source whom we have appointed as independent advocates to support residents through the process will be contacting residents to arrange this. Brook House residents can contact Source, on Freephone 0800 616328.
