Duval Court Tenants' Association

Life has settled down just a little since our report last year now the building work opposite has been completed and the hotel has opened. As might be expected, however, there are on-going problems associated with having a 24 hour, 7 days a week neighbour - out of hours deliveries and congestion, glass recycling noise, lack of staff facilities on the premises - to name but a few. On the plus side, the proprietors, in meeting with the local residents, at least seem willing to listen to the issues that continue to disturb us and we thank the CGCA for their continuing advice and support on these matters. And Mays Court, at least, has had a remarkable transformation for the better!

The small and dwindling number on the DCTA that represent the tenants of 28 flats, strives hard to work with the Peabody Trust to try to ensure that security, cleanliness, daily maintenance and tenants' personal grievances are swiftly, efficiently and effectively dealt with. Not everyone has the same priorities, however, so the DCTA wants to encourage as much participation as possible to ensure that everyone who cares for their personal environment has a voice. Particular thanks should be paid to the small band who put in the extra effort to keep things running smoothly, including maintaining the lovely patio area, which we hope will be granted some funding this year from the "Britain in Bloom" Trust.
