Malcolmson House – update

Following our enquiries about the installation of double-glazing to windows in Block A, Malcolmson House, Peabody have told us they are bringing forward the programme by three years: 

“In relation to the windows of Malcolmson House (Block A), this was recently reviewed by our investments team last month. The installation of the double glazing to Block A was originally scheduled for 2026-27, however, we have decided to move this forward sooner and this is now scheduled to take place next year (2023-24).”

We are delighted by this news and very pleased that our representations to Peabody on behalf of residents has been successful.
