The following data is compiled from the Repair Breakdowns for all nine blocks on Crossfields, and makes reference to the Programmed Estate Report by Quality Officer Leif Law that took place last summer. This can be downloaded from the Appendix pages.
What is also apparent is that items in Repairs Breakdowns, apart from being unintelligible, are quite often not presented in date order, making it harder to see a pattern of repeat orders in problem areas. This may be deliberate. It certainly does not aid transparency.
This is a long list, but look for your block in each section.
...................................................................................................................................
The repairs listed here are covered by the Programmed Estate Report where it was agreed that they were not done properly and should not be paid for.
Cremer:
3697845 Repair paving in front of block £180.86 06/10/08
All the paving was requested to be repaired free of cost since previous repairs have never been done properly. (See 4.11 of Leif Law's report)
Castell:
3612292 Please clear drain to front of No.1 £125.44 07/03/08
3611826 Tnt rpts external drain at front of the block is blocked £40.40 06/03/08
Problems with these drains are due to a) pooling of water during heavy rain, due to poor laying of tarmac, and more importantly b) gulleys that were put in to filter leaves etc and lead to these drains have been blocked for years and have never been cleared. They were cleared in the summer as a result of the Walkabout. (See 4.2 of Lief Law report). Blockages in 2008 should not be paid for.
Castell:
3645819 Repair all cracks on grnd floor walkway facia from flats 1-9 £84.00 28/5/08
3728570 Pls rem cracked wall on grd floor £15.87 15/01/09
These repairs were done inadequately since wall was in dire need of repair by June 2009 (see 4.3 of Leif Law report) and should not be paid for.
Farrer:
3653779 Rear/side of block replace missing section of fencing £375.00 17/06/08
Could this be the same bit of fence referred to in 2.4 of Leif Law report, ie not done. Awaiting confirmation from Leasehold Services.
...................................................................................................................................
Wall by Nature Park front of Congers House (Finch, Congers, Farrer):
Finch 3653801 Rebuild wall by nature park front of Congers £282.14 17/06/08
Farrer 3653801 Rebuild wall by nature park front of Congers £451.20 17/06/08
Congers 3653801 Rebuild wall by nature park front of Congers Hse £451.20 17/06/08
TOTAL £1185.00
Which wall? If wall in front of Congers, why does Farrer have to pay more than Finch or even at all?
Possibly this is the broken wall next to the Memorial Garden by Farrer House. The one that was never rebuilt (see 3.2 in Lief Law report). We await confirmation from Leasehold Services' investigation.
...................................................................................................................................
Chute Shut Offs & Bin Chamber Doors (all done on 03/07/08):
Chute Shut offs are where the chute fans out into two funnels above the bins – either can be shut off to direct rubbish to either bin. The caretakers have said it makes no difference whether they work or not.
Cremer:
3661791 Blk1-14 Unable to close chute shut off £160.00 03/07/08
Finch:
3661784 Blk chute shut off will not close £320.00 03/07/08

3661799 Blk 41-60 Unable to close chute shut off £160.00 03/07/08
Congers:

Castell:
3661788 Blk 1-22 Ease and adjust also chute shut off not closing £320.00 03/07/08
TOTAL (NB Browne, Frankham, Farrer excluded) £2080.00
This was a job lot all done on same day. Were Browne, Frankham and Farrer excluded because they didn't manage to fit them in or because they didn't need fixing?
How long had each been defective if at all? Each chute cost £160, NB in some cases the bolts were fixed as well or instead. The next month there were further repairs...Wilshaw got a double dose:
Wilshaw:
3577383 Pls fix lock on bin door that is broken as rptd by c/tkr £37.03 12/08/08
Which bin door? Previously done above (see 3661801)
3677027 Block 20-40. Pls ease and adjust bolt lock to bin chamber £117.60 11/08/08
This is a repeat of previous repair (above) 3661801 (£160.00) and should not be paid for
3702967 Lock to bin chamber faulty pls rem £27.98 21/10/08
Which bin door? Previously done above?
Why are locks being repaired on NEW DOORS (that we didn’t need) for which we only just paid for last year?
