Hawkins Road improvements

City Homes are about to start consultation on works to improve the Hawkins Road area, including Wilson, Atkins and Larkin.

If you live in the Hawks area then please use the consulation to let City Homes know your view on the proposed works.

The results of consultations are very important: proposed changes to recycling in Nuns Way were changed recently following a big response to consultation and the work of your local LibDem City Councillors.

The improvements are part of the Cambridge Standard Improvement Programme of the City Council which aims to raise the standard of the City's Council House stock. Whilst we're on the topic I must mention (again!) the superb inspection result. I have been told that the report is the best given to a council who retain their stock!

More on Edgecombe aerials

The problem with the Edgecombe aerials is quite severe. If you are without TV reception please get in touch with your housing officer as alternative arrangements can be made whilst the problem is investigated further. Any problems call or email us!

In related news the Housing Management Board agreed to the process which will be followed for digital switch over at our meeting last week. The old system will be replaced by a digital system in flats of 3 storeys or more. Do get in touch if you want more information.

Edgecombe Aerials Out

I received a phone call today informing me that the communal TV aerial for the Edgecombe flats is currently not working, and has been out for some time.

The issue is connected to damaged cabling, and I am trying to find out what the delay is and when it will be fixed.

Watch this space.

In vaguely related news one item on the Housing Management Board agenda for the week after next is the digitial switchover. After that meeting we should have more information on that.
