After long delays Nottinghill Housing Trust has engaged a contractor to start work on Autobar House.  The contractor is Bugler Developments Limited and our primary contact is Mark Varley – their contracts manager.

Last week a trench was dug on the site as part of an archaeological survey.  Nothing of any note was found on the site so the development can now proceed.

Bugler staff have introduced themselves to Neil, our caretaker, by way of establishing day to day contact.  Stephanie Henderson-Brown has kindly volunteered to be the lead director representing the concerns of the freehold company and all residents.  Steph’s activities do not replace any formal interactions between the developers and residents with regard to demolition notices and party wall notices.

We have been told that over the next few weeks the existing building will be gutted on the inside before demolition proper starts.  Demolition is due to start before Christmas and is expected to take approximately 8 weeks to complete, with ground works and piling following.
