Thames Water: Feedback on Open Day

Another open day was held for the residents of Tollgate Gardens last month and we've just been sent the feedback on what residents told the team who are working on this project.

Around 25 residents took part in the day, early in July, and provided feedback on what - if anything - they would change about the estate if they had the chance.

Here are a few conclusions from the questionnaire:

• Almost all residents that took part thought that their flats were too small;
• Most residents think that the estate needs modernising;
• Many have problems with security on the estate and do not feel safe, and;
• Residents were understandably concerned about potential changes to the estate and the impact it might have, on a temporary basis, to their lives.

As local Councillors, we have pressed the team at CityWest who are running this project to get involved with local residents as much as they can and to seek as much feedback as possible. Open Days like this are a great way to find out more about what local residents are thinking - so thanks to all who attended. As has been promised before - the proposed development of Tollgate will only happen if residents want it to, so it is important to hear first hand what all residents think now.

If you are a resident of Tollgate, do make sure you get involved at the next opportunity to provide your feedback.
