On Thursday the 26th of May George Cross (RP Director), Mo Bowyer (RP Resident), Stephen Angell (Boat Owner) and Sean Chappell (Senior Construction Manager, St George) held the final liaison meetings – the aim of which is 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:

• There are now 2 residential units left to sell.
• The trees that have died (due to poor drainage) are going to be replaced.
• The development is moving towards a completion date of end of July 2016. The next commercial unit to open will be a Fullers owned Cider & Pizza restaurant, which will face onto the square.
• For information – the square created by the removal of the marketing suite is within the demise of the St George development and is not owned by Hounslow Council.
• The building abutting Regatta Point is the last phase of the development to complete and will be finished at the end of July. At that point the public walkway to the river will have re-opened (during daylight hours) and the hoarding that restricts visibility when exiting Regatta Point car park will have gone.
• Discussions with the Council regarding works contracts are being finalised to re-lay pavements, move bus stops inwards, reduce pavement width by one metre and lower services in order to provide a cycle lane outside St G’s. When the works are being carried out alternative pathways for pedestrians will be available on the front of the development.  This work has been delayed by contractual negotiations and is expected to start towards the end of July and take 12 weeks.
• As St G’s vacate the development RP’s primary contact going forward will be Premier Estates who operate the site on StG’s behalf. First point of contact should be via the concierge.
• George Cross expressed his thanks to Sean Chappell and StG’s for the positive and professional way in which they have collaborated with Regatta Point during the development.

No further meetings are planned.
