Report
The States are asked to approve drawings showing the final stage of the refurbishment of Le Geyt Flats (Phases V and VI). Work is scheduled to start on site in February 2001, with completion in August 2002.
These final phases of the project comprise the total refurbishment of 18 two-bedroomed flats and 12 three-bedroomed flats, and the creation of new stores, together with on-site parking and additional landscaping and play facilities. In addition, one block of 12 flats will be demolished and a new basketball/five-a-side court created, which will be used by the adjacent St. Mark's School as well as estate residents.
The refurbishment scheme follows the pattern set by the previous phases, and will include new roofs, external cladding, new windows, kitchens, bathrooms and other internal fixtures and fittings. A gas-fired central heating system will be installed. The upper flats will all have balconies and the ground floor flats small private gardens.
This phase will also see the extinguishment of Le Geyt Road, which runs through the heart of the estate. This area will be given over to pedestrian, cyclist and non-vehicular (apart from emergency vehicles and refuse collections) interests. A St. Saviour 's Parish Assembly has agreed to the extinguishment of the road, which will be purchased by the Housing Committee for a nominal sum in due course.
This proposition has no implications for manpower resources, as Le Geyt Flats will continue to be managed as part of the Committee's housing stock. The Committee would expect to see a reduction in property maintenance costs in the early years of the life of this building, but there is likely to be an increase in costs in landscape maintenance costs, given the significant enhancements made on the estate. These extra costings have been included in the Committee's agreed cash limits.
