Barbican at Fifty, Blueprint for the next Fifty 

Adam Hogg and Sandy Wilson have prepared a document with suggestions about matters Barbican residents may wish to consider for the Estate in changing times, with reference to the next fifty years:

Although the City of London says it is committed to the enhancement and protection of the Barbican Estate, under current arrangements there is provision only for maintenance, through the service charge, and not improvement. The Barbican was designed to environmental standards of the fifties and sixties and needs a thorough review to ensure its continued appeal to residents in the 21st century and its proper maintenance as a heritage site.

Sandy Wilson joined our House Group meeting last month to talk about the vision behind the paper and is keen to gather together ideas from residents about improvements they would like to see, so that an estate wide list of priorities can be drawn up. These can be as general or particular as you wish.

If you have any suggestions please comment on this post (the comment form is at the bottom of this page) or email the house group at ben.jonson.hg@gmail.com.
The closing date for submitting ideas is 30th October 2019. Many thanks, Helen Hulson Chair BJHG
