NEW SIGNAGE IS A REAL DOGS DINNER

6 KEY NEW SIGNS STILL PRINTED COMPLETELY WRONG.

Even though I personally warned the Keepmoat site offices about the incorrect printing on the original signage which appears beside flat 1 of each floor, and even went to the measures of warning them about it ON THIS BLOGSITE on 9th September 2015, they have still gone and got it wrong AGAIN!

The inaccurate signage on the 4th floor.

This is the original incorrect signage

This is the new signage, with exactly the same errors.

What is the error?

The signs (in this case the 4th floor sign) should read; “402-417” as they are all in the same direction! Once again they have made the mistake of leaving out those flats ending with the numbers 08, 09, 10, and 11. This applies to 6 levels. (Ground floor plus floors 1 to 5.) That’s up to 24 flats in all.

After all of the warnings they were given, repeating this error can only classify as incompetence.

On asking what had happened, I was informed that Keepmoat were told to replace like for like.

Does nobody in either Tower Hamlets Homes or Keepmoat have any common sense at all?

 

 

BALCONY RAILINGS PAINTED

THE BALCONY RAILINGS AND HANDRAIL ARE PAINTED.

While the scaffolding is being struck on the other side of the building, the railings and the handrail on our balconies have just been painted.

This marks the point where they have finished the balconies, although they have still left the balcony floor tiling looking ridiculess.

Whilst this is going on, the painting of the corridor walls is going ahead, even though the wrong signage has still been left in place.

In the midst of all this, the corridor floors are being prepared to meet the carpet, which will be interesting to see, as the colour of the walls is this puke-making shade of blue.

More fun to come soon.

WRONG SIGNAGE REMAINS IN PLACE – AGAIN

WRONG SIGNAGE KEPT ON CORRIDORS READY FOR PAINTING.

The inaccurate signage on the 4th floor.

For many years now there has been wrong signs in place on corridor walls which have been confusing delivery drivers and visitors to the ground to fourth floors of the block.

The signs in question (as seen in the photo above) clearly indicate the directions to flats with numbers ending in numbers 2 to 7 and 12 to 17. But what about the flats ending in the numbers 8 to 11? They are in the same direction! These signs should read those flats with numbers ending 02 to 17 with the one direction arrow.

Why is this? Many years ago the block was seperated into two different but attached buildings, but when the two parts of the buildings were connected up and made into one building with the current layout, the original signage was never changed on the corridors, hence the missing flats on these signs which direct people from the main entrance end of the building (the Granby Street entrance), which is the main address of the whole block, and hence the access point for visitors who do not know the buildings’ layout.

How long ago was the building restructured? This would be a very good question. I have lived here for over 25 years, and it was long before that, so the signs should have been changed literally decades ago.

I felt sure that as they are now redecorating the corridors, someone would have had the sense to check that all of the signage was accurate, but clearly I was expecting too much to think that common sense would prevail on this Decent Homes project. I should have known better by now.
