Local residents and councillors Alan, Jill and Hamish have been invited to a meeting with the Metropolitan Housing Trust who operate the 44-flat development at the junction of Shorts Road and Carshalton Road (Carter House, Denny House, and Jennings House).
The residents’ meeting will be held on Wednesday 19th June at 7pm in the Windsor Castle pub’s function room. Metropolitan Housing Trust have been or will be leafleting the area recently/shortly inviting residents to attend. The Council recently installed the additional double yellow lines in Shorts Road on the east side by the school walls, responding to residents’ requests for action.
However there are still some issues surrounding the allocation of parking spaces and other issues within the development of the 44 new flats which clearly need resolution.

Dear Matthew
These meeting notes are on the subsequent posting.
Thanks for chasing us.
Cheers
Hamish
Is there any chance we can arrange another meeting as there are alot of residents in Carter House that feel certain issues are not being addressed.
We are STILL awaiting a date from Metropolitan Housing for a meeting date/time/venue and will notify residents via our web site.
Best wishes
Alan, Jill and Hamish
Hi, I am a carter house resident that did not attend the meeting as I was on holiday. Since this meeting and the problems addressed none have been resolved; they have worsened. There is a lot of anti social behaviour happening in the car park as well as private property being damaged police have been out on various occasions. Karla from metropolitain has said no ball games aloud in car park this happens on a daily basis from Jennings/denny house residents purposely kicking at the cars as well as swearing and shouting by the nursery garden. How are these rules being inforced? Also the gate to the car park is being vandalised and is unsecure. I feel we need another meeting to address this anti social behave as we do not want to end up like an estate. From seeing the inside of these council blocks and being told by police how drugs are rife I feel this needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP as I feel frightened in my own home being a young single girl. I know that all the other 14 flats feel the same.
Dear Zoey
We sympathise fully with your concerns and thank you for bringing them to our attention. The councillors have asked for another meeting with Metroplitian Housing who run the new flats, and we will post any future meeting date (and time, venue etc.) on our web site which we try to update every day with local news.
All the best
Alan, Jill and Hamish
