On Friday the 13th of December Stephanie Henderson-Brown (Director RPFL), 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:

• Groundwork on Block E, next to RP, will start on the 3^rd of February and last up to 22 weeks and will require the temporary closure of the footpath at times.  Pile driving will cause vibrations, which are disturbing, but should not cause damage.
• Co-ordination between StG and RPFL will be arranged via our surveyors in order to facilitate any work that is to be carried out on the Eastern wall of Regatta Point.
• StG have proposed installing gates at either end of the public pathway along the Eastern wall that would be locked at night.  MW has discussed the proposal with Hounslow Council planning officer who broadly supports the idea (as do RPFL). StG to submit formal request.
• Work on the boat club pontoon has been delayed due to the river conditions.
• The Fullers pub will be now opening in May/June.
• The organic butcher will be re-locating from Strand on the Green to a retail unit.
• The plants that StG are paying for will be installed in the RP roadside planters on 19.12.13.
• St G’s B3 development will be on sale in April and C1& C2 August. The duplex penthouse nearest to the river has been sold for just under £5 million pounds.
• Meeting are to move to a quarterly basis.
• Next meeting 08:30 on Friday 14th March 2014.
