On Friday the 18th of October George Cross (Director RPFL), Mo Bowyer (RP resident), Malcolm Wood (St. George’s Land Director) and Sean Chappell (St. George’s Snr. Construction Manager) held one of their regular liaison meetings – the aim of which is for Regatta Point to raise any issues with the development next door and for St George’s to keep us abreast with progress.

The following are highlights of the meeting:

• Late nigh working to polish concrete will not be carried out any more following a raft of complaints about noise.
• Groundwork on Block E, next to RP, will start in January.  Pile driving will cause vibrations.
• RP Directors are still waiting on the surveyors report as to the state of the Eastern wall.
• StG have proposed installing gates at either end of the public pathway along the Eastern wall that would be locked at night.  RP Directors would support this in principle.  StG to develop the idea more with the council.
• A lot of discussion around dust. StG believe it will reduce going forward as no demolition left and very little excavation.
• Work has started on the Thames pontoon and is expected to last 6 weeks.
• Pub anticipated to open in April 2014 – woop!
• Organic butcher has shown interest in moving into retail unit.
• Directors  yet to decide on which plants to place in front planters that StG are paying for.
• Next meeting Friday 13th December.
