Estate <strong>improvement</strong>s<br />

Estate security / permeability<br />

2 - Medium<br />

£34,000<br />

To purchase and install badly needed notice boards<br />

for the estate, lighted bollards to forge path through<br />

landscaped area at Corker Walk and the<br />

creation/installation of estate based maps for visitors<br />

and emergency services to use when entering the<br />

estate.<br />

One of the main criticisms of the Andover for our<br />

Emergency Services is the lack of road<br />

signs/estate maps to guide them to specific<br />

locations. This investment would eradicate this<br />

problem.<br />

Additional lighted bollards along the path way at<br />

Corker Walk would help define this walkway as a<br />

natural path leading from the estate to Seven<br />

Sisters Road. It also aids to help light up this area<br />

which currently has no lights and is used heavily at<br />

night by pedestrian traffic. This scheme is also<br />

heavily supported by the TRA.<br />

Andover Estate - road resurfacing<br />

Category: Transport and streetscape<br />

Sub-category: Highway maintenance<br />

Priority: 2 - Medium<br />

Approx cost: £60,000<br />

Funds secured: £0<br />

To resurface entire stretch of Old Andover Road.<br />

One of the main arteries through the estate and<br />

onto Hornsey Road end of the estate is via Old<br />

Andover Road. The blocks within this area are<br />

soon to have Decent Homes works commencing<br />

there and would only be complemented by the<br />

resurfacing of what amounts to a very poor road.<br />

The current state of the Old Andover Road exerts a<br />

sense of neglect and timely deterioration, coupled<br />

with the effects of years of continued construction<br />

use. We are therefore asking for and additional<br />

£60k for the resurfacing of this complete road way.<br />
