MaggOTS and Fire Alarms Plague Surrey Housing Project
2 Sep
Summary
- Residents report maggot infestations in communal areas.
- Fire safety certificates for the project were found invalid.
- Residents demand a definitive timeline for fire safety upgrades.
Residents at Runnymede Borough Council's Addlestone One development have raised serious concerns regarding pest infestations and fire safety issues. Reports indicate maggot infestations in communal areas, compounded by fire alarms frequently displaying fault messages and the earlier revelation that fire safety certificates were invalid. These ongoing problems have left residents in a state of uncertainty.
Complaints have been filed urging the council to address the persistent issues, including pest control measures and fire alarm malfunctions. Residents are seeking a clear timeline for when essential fire safety work will commence. The lack of definitive action and clarity is reportedly making it difficult for residents to buy and sell their homes within the project, which fully opened in 2018.
