Share After more than 2 years of delays, we have serious concerns about the way this project is being managed and the lack of active supervision by Southern Housing.

MF asked 16 days agoThank you for your question. The extent of remedial works has been far in excess of those initially anticipated, and the nature of the works has meant that the work has had to be carried out sequentially. The contractor has allocated sufficient resources to the project to enable it to complete as quickly as possible. The physical work on site has now largely completed with the exception of the ductwork insulation and some snagging works. Due to a delay in material delivery, Elements have been temporarily redeployed. They will return to site on Thursday to begin insulating the bin store ductwork, with completion expected by 19/09. Following this, their team will proceed with the remaining snagging works.

Share We pass by the property daily and consistently see very few contractors on site, raising serious concerns about the progress of Elements. What was originally presented as a 20-week programme has now stretched to almost a year, which is extremely difficult to understand.

Faria asked 17 days agoThank you for your question. The affordable rented block doesn’t require registration with the BSR and can therefore be occupied as soon as we take PC and handover.

Mh asked 14 days agoYes, the bin store ductwork insulation is required to be done before we can submit the building to the BSR for registration. We have the programme of work and will share this in tomorrow's update but we expect the bin store work to be completed by 19 September.
