St. Margarets Way

Hello, and thank you for getting in touch. Firstly, I’d like to apologise for the delay in our response—especially in light of the safety concerns you’ve raised. I’m sorry to hear that your previous attempts to get answers through the contact details we provided were unsuccessful.

Please be assured that I’ve been investigating this internally to ensure you receive a clear response. Your concerns have now been formally raised, and we are actively looking into the matter and considering the appropriate next steps.

Thank you again for your patience—we’ll keep you updated.

Hello. Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately we do not have any privately rented flats available at St Margarets Way.

Thank you for your enquiry. Please accept our apology for the delay in responding to you whilst we gathered the information we needed. 

Helix, the contractor, are responsible for maintaining the landscaping during the first 12 months. We are aware that the recent dry weather has caused problems for some of the landscaping and we have been assured by Helix that they will have operatives at St Margarets Way to ensure everything is being watered regularly. If any planting has died, Helix will replace it before the end of the 12 month defects period at the most appropriate time, to ensure it is able to establish and thrive.

If there are trip hazards, please let us know the details so we can get these fixed.  

Our Housing Development team are consulting with colleagues across the Council to ensure that the location of the new play equipment is the most suitable for the age group that it is designed for.  Once we have all the approvals in place, we will let you know.  

With development completing just over six weeks ago and some homes still awaiting their new tenants,  we have no set plans as yet, however will let everyone know if we decide to hold an event for the local community so everyone can get involved. 

Thanks for getting in touch. Sorry for the delay in replying — I’ve been checking with the relevant teams so I could give you an accurate update.

We are currently reviewing the speed limit on the road, but for now, it remains at 30mph, which is standard for estate roads.

If any traffic calming measures (like speed bumps or signs) are needed after the handover, the Estates team would usually handle that — but only if there's clear evidence that it’s necessary.

If you'd like to contact them directly, here are their details:

Phone: 01442 228000 (ask for the Estates team)

Thank you for getting in touch. The Housing Development team are currently discussing alternative locations for the play space and are consulting with a range of people, including Community Safety and the local PCSO, to help determine the best option.  No decision has been made yet, but once we have one, we’ll make sure to update local residents through a newsletter.

Hi. Thanks for your enquiry. Unfortunately, the new homes at St Margarets Way are for social rent only and would not be eligible for the first homes scheme. 

Thank you so much for your enquiry. The flats only have blinds in the bedrooms which will be gifted to the new tenants. 

Thank you for getting in touch. Yes, all of the flats have balconies.

Dacorum Borough Council has just taken handover of the 46 new homes which are now complete. Our Lettings Team are in the process of showing prospective tenants around them, in line with our Housing Allocations Policy and sign up processes. New tenants will start to move in from this weekend and over the next few weeks. 

Thank you so much for engaging with us. To answer your question, Dacorum Borough Council has just taken handover of the 46 new homes. Our Lettings Team are in the process of showing prospective tenants around these, in line with our Housing Allocations Policy and processes. 

To answer your question about storage, there are cupboards within each property in line with Housing Design standards and the houses all benefit from a shed within their rear gardens. There is no additional storage outside of the property demise.

Thank you for getting in touch with us. Please accept our apologies for taking longer to reply to you than usual. To answer your question, we do not provide white goods or appliances in any of these units.
