Work all finished at Burmas House

It cost £500,000, took six months and 57 residents had to move out of their homes in Burma House, Mansbridge, Southampton.  And Mel Mines, Tenant Liason Officer, wants to publicly thank residents for their help and co-operation.

“It must have been really difficult with all the dust and mess,” she said.  “But people were great.”  She worked out an individual care plan for everyone at Radian’s biggest block of flats.  She offered a packing service and sorted out landlines and broadband.   The only help Mel couldn’t offer was redirecting mail.

Resident Joe O’Shea told he is delighted with the result.  “It’s so much quieter for us all,” he commented.

Work included renewing electrics, water tanks, corridor fire doors and improving the heating system.
