Flooring again - avoid the hard stuff
In the latest newsletter the BEO remind us again of the lease condition that flats must use carpet flooring. No hard stuff.
It looks like this latest message might have been triggered by a resident trying to claim for water damage to wooden flooring.
___
Installing Wooden Floors is a Breach of Lease
Installing a wooden or hard floor in your flat puts you in breach of your lease and you could be asked to remove it and carpet in accordance with the lease that you signed. However, we do not expect the bathroom/WC/food preparation area to be carpeted.
The Breach of Lease Protocol can be found on the website, in the Resident Information Pack in the Communal Living Tab.
Please be reminded, as wooden or any form of hard floor are not permitted as per your Lease, should your floor covering get damaged due to water penetration for example, you will not be able to claim for it on the Buildings Insurance.
Please see the Buildings Insurance FAQ on the Barbican Estate website for further information. Should you wish to have your floor covering insured, you will need to arrange this via your own contents insurance.
Please check the FAQ's listed on the Building Insurance page on the website for further details.

Beech Street scheme - meeting 25th Feb
A fellow resident sent the following about the next meeting of the streets and walkways committee at which the new zero emissions scheme for Beech St will be discussed.
The scheme currently includes the complete closure of junctions off Beech Street which will cut off access routes to some Barbican car parks. A number of residents are seeking an exemption so they can get their cars in and out as they do today.
If you feel the scheme will affect you this is probably your last chance to influence the decision makers.
___
A reminder - it's streets and walkways at 10.30 tomorrow morning. It would be wonderful if we get a good turn-out of residents. Here are the details again:
Time: 10.30am
Date: Tuesday 25 February
Venue: 2nd floor committee rooms, West Wing, Guildhall - entrance in
Aldermanbury, at the Gresham Street end.

Beech Street Tunnel - Zero Emission Scheme
The City sent out a letter dated the 5th Feb (see below) and held a meeting on the 12th Feb to announce their plan to make Beech St a 'Zero emission street'.
Barbican residents with cars will find that the routes from their homes will be changed. This affects users of the Ben Jonson / Breton house car parks in particular as they will only be able to access the car park from the north along Golden Lane. Golden Lane will be blocked at the southern end for all vehicles, even 100% electric ones ... so no way to drive home via Beech St.
