Harrow’s residents can look forward to new homes, new communities, new business opportunities and new jobs, following a decision by Harrow Council’s Cabinet last night to work with Wates Residential on a long-term regeneration vision for the borough.

Wates has been successfully chosen as a preferred building contractor by A2Dominion in its £900m development framework across London and Southern England.

A new road safety video is being shown in Barking schools as part of a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of crossing the road near heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and the importance of not playing near building sites.

Proposals for 1,380 new homes at Waterloo and Queen Street in the heart of Romford have been approved by Havering Council’s Strategic Planning Committee to bring the creation of an exciting new community one step closer for local people.

Wates has appointed Nick Williams as Production Director.

The Leader of Wandsworth Council, Cllr Ravi Govindia and the senior team at Wates including Tim Wates and David Allen – donned their hard hats to celebrate the start of work on 41 new homes on Kersfield Road, East Putney.

The new pocket park is a result of a grass roots project involving Gascoigne Residents’ Forum, Be First, engagement specialist Urban Symbiotics, landscape architects Fabrik, and construction firm Wates.

Havering’s first community hub, in Harold Hill, will be opening for residents on 8 June. This is thanks to a team of volunteers from Wates who have turned the site around at the old Housing Office in Chippenham Road.

71 new homes are nearing completion at Sphere Walk, Shuttleworth Road, and to celebrate progress Tim Wates and David Allen were joined by Wandsworth Councillors Govindia and Caddy to see the building topping out.

Wates has launched a set of ‘Top Trumps’ style playing cards to help explain the wide variety of roles available in construction and to encourage more young people into the industry.

Wates has appointed Andrew Savege as its new Head of Partnerships.

Havering Council’s Deputy Leader has paid a visit to the Napier and New Plymouth House development to check progress – six months after construction began.
