We work closely with the council, Gascoigne Primary School & St Josephs as well as other stakeholders to keep disruption to a minimum and delivering the works during the summer holidays seemed the most obvious way to do this. We were delighted that we could also work with the school to deliver some educational engagement days and site visits to educate around 245 children on the work we’re doing and why decarbonisation is so important for Barking.
The Gascoigne Estate regeneration is being delivered by Wates over two phases, with the first delivering 200 homes and the second delivering a further 386. Works will see the demolition of the existing estate which will be replaced with five apartment blocks and townhouses. All homes on the estate will receive low-carbon heat via the district heating network.
