What WALL are you paying for?

We have been trying to find out what wall leaseholders in Congers, Finch and Farrer have been asked to pay for in this year's bills. Apparently a wall was rebuilt in June 2008, but its exact location remains a mystery. The repair breakdown lists: REBUILD WALL BY NATURE PARK FRONT OF CONGERS.

The TRA thinks there is only one place where a wall needed rebuilding, and it was something the Repairs Officer had been chasing for some time. That particular wall was situated near the ballcourt and between Farrer House and Congers, and next to the bikesheds by Sue Godfrey Garden. It had been knocked down and remained as a pile of rubble for a couple of years.

It was pointed out in the impromtu "Programmed Estate Walkabout" that took place in July last year, and duly recorded in that report. As a result, the debris of bricks was removed. A later version of the report recorded that the wall had been 'made good'.

This is where that broken wall ended up – round the side of the bike sheds, about twenty feet away...

 

The total charge for rebuilding the mystery wall was £1184.54, and it is three months since we asked what wall is being charged for. Still no answer.
