What’s happening on Carpenters Estate?

Since August 2020 we’ve been working with residents to put together a new plan for Carpenters Estate after many years of uncertainty. Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz is committed to ensuring that residents are at the heart of shaping this new plan. Ultimately the decision on the future of the estate will be in residents’ hands via a ballot in September 2021.

A message from the mayor:

It was wonderful to see that the sun was shining for the June events. The Dovetail is now open as a regular space where residents can come to talk about the project, ask questions and take part in a whole host of amazing activities. In line with Government guidelines, we will be limiting the number of people entering The Dovetail at any one time. You will need to wear a face mask (unless you are exempt) so we can keep each other safe. I know that many of you now want more detail about what the new homes could be like. Between the Residents Charter, policy requirements and the quality Newham Council and Populo are trying to achieve, I hope there will be lots of exciting commitments that we can make over the coming weeks and months.

Please do come and visit the team in The Dovetail across the week to see the latest design information.

I really appreciate how important the Housing Offer is to your decision as we approach the ballot in Autumn this year. I look forward to talking to you about this in person very soon.

Best wishes,

Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz

A message from your ward Councillors:

Dear Residents,

Now that the Dovetail has officially opened and more of us are vaccinated, we will be restarting our ward surgeries from Saturday 10th July at 10:30. We will be resuming our surgeries in person with caution, because even though fewer people are falling seriously ill from coronavirus, cases of Covid-19 are rising and, as you all know, the date of all restrictions ending has been pushed back by four weeks. Remember to self-isolate if you display any symptoms of the virus, and continue to socially distance, wear masks, and wash your hands regularly. Through lockdown, we’ve continued to handle your casework and try to get as many problems resolved as possible through email. That will continue, and you are still welcome to email us if you have an issue or concern to raise with us as your local councillors. Having said that, it will be lovely to safely see some of you in person on each second Saturday morning of the month after we resume our surgeries on the tenth. We’re keen to hear your thoughts on the proposals for Carpenters Estate and imagine you’ve all got lots of questions as we approach the ballot this Autumn.

Come and see us from July 10th every second Saturday morning of the month, 10:30-11:30.

Warmest wishes,

Councillor Joshua Garfield Councillor Nareser Osei Councillor Terry Paul
