Dear Residents,
Friday 6th
We may be late with today’s pour due to a break in last night all of the surveying equipment was stolen, this has coursed a delay in the pour times due to waiting for the replacements so the decking could be levelled. We will do our best to be completed on time.
I would like to ask did anyone see anything on Thursday night / Friday morning?

On Friday the 30th of January Mo Bowyer (RP resident), 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:
COORDINATION OF ST.G WORK AND HELIFIX WORK TO RP EAST WALL
SC said they would be ready for us to do this work the third week in March – contractor and weather dependent. Would like it to be completed in 1 week but 2nd week is OK.
SITING OF GATES INTO ST.G DEVELOPMENT
There will be a total of 4 gates, with 3 of them locked from dawn to dusk – set time would be agreed at a later date. There will be a locked gate at both the North and South ends of the pathway plus a 3rd, adjacent to which will be a 4th gate for residents operated by a fob.
HOARDING OBSTRUCTING VIEW WHEN LEAVING RP CAR PARK
SC appreciated the problem but said it was necessary as a safety measure as items could possibly fall from scaffolding during construction and is designed to contain any such debris. He hoped to have these hoardings removed by the end of August or earlier if possible. Small entrance to remain open but main entrance is being widened for main deliveries – bricks, etc.
GENERAL PROGRESS
SC said they will be working from the Elipse upwards and the work on the construction abutting RP will be the last. All frames should be in place by end of March. The crane will remain until the end of July.
When work begins next to RP in September time – scaffolding will be encased in white sheeting to minimise dust fall out, etc. Landscaping will follow.
All windows will be installed before the brickwork and there will obviously be increased noise from drilling/building activity.
The footpath wall should be finished in 6/8 weeks.
First handover of landscaped area in front of Provenance House should be at the end of this week, i.e. 6th February.
In discussion with 3 potential lettings for the retail/office spaces.
The completion of the site has been moved from Dec 2015 to spring/summer 2016.
Next meeting Friday 6th March.
