Key Dates

On Thursday 25th April we will be holding a Resident Engagement Event in Eastwick Row to meet with and talk to you and your neighbours.

This event will be held from 2pm-6pm and will give you the opportunity to meet members of our Housing team, including Housing Officers, our repairs contractors and a number of others.

On the day, we will be setting up in the new car park to the rear of the blocks. Refreshments will be provided from Sunnyside, including sweet and savoury snacks for adults (gluten free and vegan options available) and snack bags including a drink for your children. 

Apex 360 will also be in attendance providing soft play options for the children.

Cardo, our repairs contractor will be providing two skips for the use of residents on the day, so please do make use of this and dispose of any unwanted items free of charge.

Your local PCSO will be in attendance alongside our community safety team, offering you opportunity to discuss any anti social behaviour concerns you have regarding your local community.

The survey will close at 5pm today.

Thank you for your involvement to all who completed the survey and shared your views and opinions.

We will be updating this page with further information in the following weeks.

Dear Resident

Update on new housing development at Eastwick Row:

I am writing to give you with an update on the new housing development at Eastwick Row, Hemel Hempstead. 

As you are aware, the previous contractor went into administration in March 2023 and since then we have been working towards re-procuring the contract to finish the development. During this period, the site has been secured and managed to prevent unauthorised entry and anti-social behaviour. We recognise that looking at an unfinished construction site is not ideal and we have been working hard to get the construction work restarted.

Following the council’s Cabinet approval on 30^th January 2024, I am pleased to confirm that the successful contractor for the completion of the development is Bugler Developments Ltd. who are a locally based contractor from Rickmansworth. They are already delivering a number of new housing development contracts for Dacorum Borough Council in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas and we have confidence that they will try and keep disruption to the local community to a minimum.

Dacorum Borough Council is at the forefront of providing superior quality affordable homes in the area for those in the greatest need and is committed to providing new housing to meet this demand. We will be providing another update in due course once we know the new timeline for the completion of the new development. Once Bugler Developments have started the work on site, they will issue regular newsletters to keep you all informed.

Finally, we apologise for any inconvenience this situation is causing you and other local residents but we are working hard to complete this development programme as soon as possible. 

Yours faithfully

Ian Johnson

Housing Development Senior Project Manager
