WDH were out and about on Verner over Christmas knocking on doors. They talked to residents about Verners re-fit. Residents were informed that there was a delay again and work would now not start in March and has been put of for at least 6 months.
Residents were also informed that there were problems finding the money to pay for a new gas pipe. Residents were asked if no gas could be fitted then would they consider a new coal fire or economy 7 heating being fitted. As many struggle with the cost of this now many said no.
Looks like Verner could stay as it is….. or not as new types of residents arrive who are just happy for a roof over their heads.
I would be interested to know where you got the information
I have spoken with a verner st resident today who tells me that when WDH visited, at no point were they given any indication when work would start (March was not mentioned) or that there was any delay. They were told that if enough residents wanted gas, they would put it forward in a meeting. They were NOT told that WDH were having problems finding the money. To be perfectly honest I would have been very surprised if they had, they don't usually give information out like that. If fact the residents are being kept in the dark as usual.
