Dear Sceaux Gardens Resident,

As 2023 draws to a close, the Tenants & Residents Association (T&RA) wishes to convey every best wish to all who live on our estate for a happy and prosperous New Year and a well-deserved period of rest and festivities over Christmas, however your household marks this event.

When I was writing this letter, I re-read the one from last year to see how much has changed in the 12 months since. Sadly 2023 has largely been another year of frustration for residents. The rehousing of Marie Curie residents is still on-going (now in its 3[rd] year) and the recent postponement of the redevelopment project following the demolition of Racine and Florian has left us in limbo once again.

On a brighter note, we saw the return of the Seaside Trip which managed to sell out three coaches. It was a pity that the day will mostly be remembered for the poor weather. We also hosted the Summer Fayre in Mistral Community Garden once more. Thanks to the small but dedicated band of residents who support and organise these events for the enjoyment of all.

SGTRA continues to work tirelessly to improve the environment of the estate. This year we installed new litter bins, erected dog owner signage, overhauled The Elephant Park and put up the mural on the Lakanal garages. All these things go towards making our estate a more pleasant place to live.

Once the contractors leave and the last resident vacates Marie Curie, Voltaire and Colbert will largely be cut off from the rest of the estate. Maintaining social cohesion and a sense of community during this time will be paramount for the T&RA.

Early in the New Year we will begin formulating a plan for the short-term use of the now vacant building sites. If you want to have a say in this then please come to our next meeting which will be on Tuesday 16 January.

As always residents are encouraged to get involved with any of our community projects. Details of these are on the reverse of this letter, or please contact us via the T&RA Facebook page.

Attendance at our meetings has dipped recently and we need as many of you as possible to connect with us and to volunteer to help out. The association is open to all so please do come along on the third Tuesday of each month.

In addition to South London Gallery and Theatre Peckham we welcomed a new neighbour this year in the form of the Step Out Mentoring team, based at Lakanal undercroft. We are sorry that Rachael Harlow will soon be leaving her post at SLG. Rachael has worked with us for 12 years and has been a great friend and supporter of the T&RA, she will be missed.

We look forward to welcoming you to a meeting or event in the coming year and wish you and your household all the best for 2024.

Kind Regards,

Mike Edge, Chair, Sceaux Gardens T&RA Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SceauxGardensTRA
