The text above is an extract from Ian Collier’s update on the HHGE external works project in the HHGE Newsletter which was distributed on 02 July 2020. On 8th July 2020 almost exactly a year after the work started I carried out a rain survey of the 5 ” fully completed” blocks at Ayr Court. There was evidence of at least 6 leaks which had not been attended to and required immediate attention. Photos of three of these leaks are shown below;
