Bricknell Estate roofng programme

John Fareham and John Abbott report that Phase 2 of the Council’s roofing programme for 2016-17 will involve properties in Appleton Road, Bishop Alcock Road, Bowes Walk, Bricknell Avenue, Brompton Close, Cloughton Grove, Cropton Road, Dent Road, Grammar School Road, Hartoft Road, Hawes Walk, Hayburn Avenue, Helperby Walk, Hotham Road North, Hutton Close, Lythe Avenue and Marske Walk. A list of proposed start and finish dates is given overleaf, and the corporate centre will have notified all the specific properties affected, but the work should begin on the first houses concerned in mid-August and it is meant to be all finished by the end of October. Given the difficulties experienced with previous works undertaken on the estate, we stand ready to assist local residents with any related matters they may wish to raise with us. We do however hope that the undertaking of this work will reassure those local residents affected that both we and the corporate centre are committed to the long term future of this estate; some of the houses affected are Hull Council properties in Cottingham which should go some way towards reassuring them that they are not the “forgotten estate”.
