Thanks to a vigilant BE Leaseholder who checked what we discussed at our inaugural meeting about the TRA hall not passing the relevant fire safety regulations there is a change of venue as it seems the TRA hall is still not fit for use:
Venue: Yorkshire Grey Pub, 2 Theobalds Rd, Holborn, London WC1X 8PN 6pm, Tuesday 2nd July 2019 RSVP if you are joining and have not advised already. As you can see below, we cannot audio record the meeting and the venue may make listening in by phone difficult so sorry if you cannot make it. We will make notes the best we can in addition to Camden's own. We look forward to a productive meeting as the council seem to be taking this very seriously. Dear BE Leaseholders' Group, Thanks for your email and I was just writing to you about this. I was made aware of the concern today. I have been in touch with colleagues in Tenant Participation and Regeneration this afternoon as I didn't want to change the venue unless that was necessary. We have now booked a private room at the Yorkshire Grey pub from 6 until 8pm. It is on the corner of Theobalds and Grays Inn Roads so just a little further away than originally planned. Apologies for the last moment change but thankfully we can still meet tomorrow. Do you have an agenda for our meeting you can share with me? We wanted to go through the validation survey process and give you an update on the overall programme. You had mentioned potentially appointing your own surveyor and we can discuss that in more detail if this is something you want to pursue. We can also provide information on billing and how / when additional costs would be communicated. We will minute the meeting and distribute these for everyone to agree however I need to ask that the meeting isn't recorded. Please contact me if you have any queries. Yours sincerely Caroline |
