Roofworks Meet the Team event 

Thank you to all Walkways residents who came along to last week’s Meet the Team engagement event for the upcoming roofworks to Barandon, Hurstway and Testerton Walks.

Residents were able to speak to LWNT and Amber Construction Services Ltd to ask questions and hear of the respite options available to them. 

The team for Whitesales demonstrated how the new AOVs that will be installed to improve ventilation and safety worked, and the team from Langley were in attendance to showcase the new roof material. 

If you were unable to make it down to the event, pop into Baseline studios and one of the team will be happy to show you the samples.
