Notice:

Dear Resident(s),

RE: Fire safety

I am writing to you to with regard to the important issue of fire safety.

There are a number of steps that you can take to reduce the chances of a fire from occurring and to ensure that, in the event of a fire, you and other residents are safe.

To help prevent fires from occurring:

•           Do not leave candles unattended and dispose of cigarettes carefully.

•           Do not leave cooking pans unattended.

•           Do not store e-scooters or e-bikes in your home.

•           Do not overload plug sockets.

When a fire does occur in the building the following are very important in keeping you and other residents safe:

• Be aware that the fire action procedure in your block is to stay put. i.e. in the event of a fire in the building, unless you are affected by fire or smoke you should remain in your home.
• Ensure you have a working smoke alarm in your home. We will install smoke alarms at no charge regardless of whether you are a Council tenant, leaseholder or private tenant. Therefore, please contact Annie Gleeson MSc, your appointed Estate Manager on 0207 924 5213 or via email at [email protected] if you do not have a working smoke alarm.
• Ensure your front door is the appropriate thickness (44mm), fits closely into the frame, and has a working door closer. If you are a Council tenant, we will undertake any necessary repair or improvements to your front door. Please contact Annie Gleeson MSc, appointed Estate Manager for Goulden House, if you consider your door requires an inspection and repair.

In order to keep the means of escape clear you must also adhere to the following advice:

• Rubbish should be disposed of down the rubbish chutes. Rubbish should not be left in the rubbish chute chamber or in the communal area.
• No items should be stored in the communal areas. This includes the lift lobby and stairwells. If you leave items in these areas, they may be cleared and disposed of without warning.

If you have any questions, or wish to discuss any of the above issues, please do not hesitate to contact your Estate Manager on 0207 924 5213 or via email to the Estate Office at [email protected]

The following finds are from JP Pest Control/Pestgone’s inspection of the Communal Areas on Friday 30^th January 2026 (Pestgone have amalgamated with JP Pest Control).

“I’ve attended the site for a monthly contract visit, I’ve checked.

24 bait locations around the site, there was 3 bait stations located on the 4th floor with no bait take. I’ve checked bait stations in all bin stores throughout the site, all bait stations in communal areas and the ground level areas where boxes are located. There has been 50% bait take from the bait stations and I’ve replenished boxes with jade block x2 ( bromadiolone).

The site hygiene is up to a very high standard with waste management in very good order.”

Collections:

Christmas tree recycling collections will start from Monday 5 January 2026 and will run throughout the month.

Your tree will be collected on the same day as your rubbish and recycling, but by a different vehicle so this may not be at the same time as other collections.

Trees should be left out after 6.30pm on the day before the collection is due, and by 6.30am on the collection day.

Where to leave your tree:

Please leave your tree on the corner of Bullen Street and Shuttleworth Road by the large tree for collection.
