Tollgate Update

A short update on the work underway at Tollgate to improve the Estate for all residents:

Since the architect (JM Architects) was appointed several months ago, they have been working with a steering group made up of residents to develop plans for the Estate. Monthly meetings are being held of the steering group to discuss progress and to ensure that residents can see what is happening and how the plans are being developed.

Over the last few weeks, the Council has also undertaken a survey of all residents to obtain their thoughts on the Estate and their housing needs. This information will be fed back into the plans being developed.

The current timeline is that proposals for improving the Estate will come forward in the Autumn, allowing for residents and JM to spend a good amount of time working them up.

Prior to that, in May, residents will have the opportunity to sign up to a 'resident's charter' which provides them with a number of cast iron guarantees during the regeneration process.

We'll let you know more shortly.
