Hi Reach

Site A Demolition Newsletter - Winter 2024

Talking to local residents about the Demolition process

With the serious demolition work about to start, Keltbray, Mount Anvil and our engagement team have been busy ensuring local people
are aware of what to expect. So far we’ve spoken to residents at:

  • Coffee Mornings at Local Schools: Christ Church Bentick, King Solomon Academy and Gateway Academy
  • Residents who attend the Penfold Centre’s Bingo afternoon
  • The annual Antiques Market
  • Church Street Community Market
  • Drop-in sessions for Businesses and Market Trader

We spoke about how and when demolition works will happen, traffic management plans and what our team is doing to monitor and minimise impact on our residents. In the next week expect to see the arrival of the high reach machine that will begin the demolition
of Ingrebourne House. This will be a momentous moment in the regeneration project!
