Restricted Access - Friday 26th November - 8am - 6pm
There
will be a crane operating in the car park on
Friday 26th November between 8am and 6pm. As a result it will not be
possible to access the building by the main front steps. During
this time please follow the signs for alternative access routes and
take extra care. These works are taking place in order to
decommission equipment on the roof. We apologise for any disruption
that this may cause.
Surveyors on site
Over the
next couple of weeks there will continue to be building surveyors on
site. They will be mainly focusing on the communal areas but if they
do need access any room we will get in touch with you directly.
There should not be any more noisy work taking place. We apologise
for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during these
investigations!

collection days from Monday 29th April. Collection days will move to
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, times will remain unchanged. Laundry
given to Alpha in the morning will receive the current 6 hour

the new collection days. There will also be no service provided

Online grocery deliveries
Both Sainsbury's and Tesco have
advised us that they will no longer allow the reception staff
to sign for grocery deliveries on your behalf. As such if you
order groceries you must be in the building to sign for them when
they arrive. If you are not available when you food arrives it will
be returned.
