Sunk With
local residents still up in arms, work has started
on re-developing the old Eltham baths.
Demolition of the iconic 1930s building, controversially disused since the Eltham Centre opened in December 2008, started last month.
The re-development by London and Quadrant Housing will see build 78 self- contained flats on the site.
The huge six storey development will comprise a mixture of private and social housing. More than 20 of the units are being especially designed for people over 50, a growth demand category for housing.
Unlike other developments around
SEnine
Eltham, the council as not dictated strict terms on car parking. Car parking on the site will be trebled, with a space allocated to each unit and accommodated in a basement area on the site, accessed from an already unsafe Sherard Road.
Resident Lisa Poyner told SEnine, 'Yet again Greenwich Council has put money before residents. Work has started on Eltham pools site despite objections from some residents
who live here. Our opinions were disregarded on the parking problems we already face on Eltham Hill in part due to the offices on Eltham Hill and the Mecca Bingo Hall. Our position on the safety aspect of children was not addressed. Some residents are thinking of selling up and moving.
Are the developers, London & Quadrant prepared to buy our homes? Is Greenwich Council prepared to give residents who already live here permit parking? The answer to both is a loud NO, so we are forced to put up with something we don't want and our lives are to be disrupted by noise and lack of reasonable parking near our own homes.
Work is expected to take around 18 months with the first units ready for occupation towards the end of 2012.
