Copies of Locata are available upon request for those resident that have been upgraded to Band B.

Green Man Lane – Decanting Update

New Surgery Timetable
From 1st March a new surgery timetable will be in place, which has been advertised on the estate through posters and fliers and will be in the next newsletter.

There will be 3 surgeries per Locata session specifically for people in Phase 2 who want to place bids on Locata. These will be on Fridays (2-4), Mondays (2-4) and Wednesdays from April (10-12). I attach a Guide to Bidding on Locata, which has the surgery times on the final page.

NB. A further session will be held on Wednesday’s from 10-12 from April, even when Locata isn't open.

In addition to this there will be two A2D run surgeries between 10 and 12 on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week.

Phase 2 Tenants and Wigmore Returnees
The task of getting transfer forms completed for everyone has nearly been completed (over 90%). Once a completed transfer form is received the following happens:

1. They are sent to Ealing Homes (or A2D if a Wigmore returnee moved to an A2D property) for processing

2. The tenant will receive a letter telling them their LIN no, bedroom size and banding.

3. Allocations will be asked to upgrade their banding to B and they will then receive a letter from Sian Llewellyn telling them that they have been upgraded, what they need to do next (depending on their onward housing preference) and a guide to bidding on Locata. (I have attached this as it may be useful for you to refer to if you get any queries)

For Those That Want/Have to Leave the Estate

Tenants will need to start bidding on Locata. We are holding surgeries as outlined above to assist with this. If people do not place bids Sian will get in touch with them and may bid on their behalf.

For Those Who Want to Move to the New Homes on the Estate

Tenants do not need to do anything at the moment, although they can place bids if they choose. Sian will be contacting everyone who expressed an interest in staying over the next 6 months to discuss in more detail the layouts and properties available in the new flats to ascertain their preferences or identify those who’s needs we cannot meet.
