Waltham Forest Development Projects

We recently donated lots of different building materials to Waltham Forest College from our office in Walthamstow.

This ranged from brand new fire doors, to concrete, to paint, to ironmongery, coat hooks, hinges, handles etc.

We hope the college finds these items useful!

This month, ENGIE was delighted to link up with Forest Recycling Project a social enterprise, whose focus is to address environmental problems and create lasting change.

FRP, recycle, wood, fabric, paint and paper. ENGIE, is also are committed to minimise waste from development sites, and are working alongside FRP, to recycle any left over reclaim used scaffolding boards, as well as other wood, materials.

Volunteers attend carpentry workshops to help make planters in greening projects and tables and shelving in peoples’ homes and businesses. Used floorboards are made into biodiversity boxes, providing much needed space for animals to nest.

If you would like to find out how you can help, please visit frpuk.org/reclaiming-materials/reclaiming-wood/

Our sites will be closed for the Easter period from 17.00pm on Thursday 18/04/19 and will re-open at 8.00am on Tuesday 23/4/19

Happy Easter to all!

Gardening in Lloyd Park, Walthamstow

This November, we returned to Lloyd Park with nine members of our team to help out the local community with gardening.

Lloyd Park Is one of the Boroughs most renowned and best loved landmarks, housing the William Morris Gallery. Over two wintery mornings, our team got stuck into weeding and clearing the park, contributing to maintaining it for the community to enjoy.

Our Operations Manager, Paul Goodrich said "As a team, we are keen to do what we can to support the local community. Our volunteers were glad to be able to support such an important landmark, and at the same time, benefit from the team working, outside of our normal working environment. We look forward to supporting similar projects in the future"

ENGIE successfully completed construction of the site and handed it over to Waltham Forest Council on 4^th October 2018.

We hosted an opening ceremony on 16^th October 2018 with 30 people in attendance from Waltham Forest, SixtyBricks, NPS & ENGIE. The afternoon was a great success with speeches from the Mayoress and Cllr Louise Mitchell, we then proceeded to the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Residents had even started moving in that day, so seeing and hearing everyone’s positive reaction to the site was truly fantastic.

Residents at Warburton Terrace

I am writing to inform you that we are planning to work on Saturdays from Saturday 2^nd June 2018 through to Saturday 30^th June 2018. Our working hours will be from 8am-13:00pm. We are having to work on Saturdays, so we can progress with the frames and external envelopes of the buildings.

I would like to thank you for your patience and apologise in advance for any inconvenience that our work may cause.

Residents at Wood Street,

I would like to apologise for the road disruptions that you have recently experienced at Lucerne Grove. We are now starting to strike the scaffolding and complete the remaining external works. The road will be disrupted due to having to load vehicles from the hours of 8- 5pm weekdays and 8-1pm on Saturdays. We will of course keep the duration of the disruptions as short as possible and all drivers will be asked to move out of the way for resident’s vehicles if possible and safe to do so.

I would like to thank you for your patience and apologise in advance for any inconvenience that our work may cause.

We will be connecting the new foul drainage from the new flats to an existing foul sewer outside the site boundary. The existing foul sewer drain is located in the garden of 19 Retingham Way and we are in separate communications with the resident/owner of this property. So that all residents are aware, the footpath towards the school and park will have limited access. It will be shut between 9:00am -3:00pm for us to carry out the drainage works, which will start on Friday 20^th April and take approximately two weeks to complete. The attached drawing shows a dotted red line across the footpath to the existing foul sewer drain; shown as “Existing MH”.

Engie would like to take this opportunity to apologise to any residents of Retingham Way that may be affected by this interruption and would like to reassure all residents that we will aim to keep any disturbances to a minimum.

The demolition works for the 1 House at Millfield Avenue will start on the Monday 23^rd April. All the cars parked outside the garages on Millfield Avenue and Williams Avenue will need to be removed from Friday 20^th April so that we can start the works on Monday.

If you have any queries relating to the current works or if you experience any problems please contact your Resident Liaison officer, Brooke Rutherford, on 07768 025 129
