Dear Golden Lane Estate Residents

This is a friendly reminder about the ongoing series of surgery sessions with myself and members of the Housing Senior Management Team (SMT). We’ve enjoyed meeting those of you who’ve joined our sessions so far, it has been really valuable gaining a better understanding of the issues and concerns you have about the estate and your home.

The surgeries take place every two weeks in the Golden Lane Estate Office, Great Arthur House.

SMT members attend on a rota basis and are available at these sessions to discuss specific projects relevant to the estate.

Surgeries will be held on the following dates:

Wednesday 28 January @ 4.30-6.30pm

Wednesday 11 February @ 5-7pm

Wednesday 25 February @ 5-7pm

Wednesday 11 March @ 5-7pm

Wednesday 25 March @ 5-7pm

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we believe these surgeries will continue to provide an excellent opportunity for open dialogue between residents and the SMT. We encourage you to bring any topics or concerns you would like to discuss, and thank you for your continued participation.

Best wishesPeta Caine

Residents and workers in the Barbican – come and join the first City of London Police Cluster Panel of 2026.

What is it? Panels are an opportunity for residents and workers to sit down with Police and Local Government Officials to explore how we can work together, as a community, to create a safe place for us all to work and live.

Why attend? It is a great way to meet your local policing team, hear about current and emerging trends in your area and how the Police are addressing them. You will be able to have your say on issues that are important to you and help set local policing priorities to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in your area.

The City of London Police is offering phone marking that allows devices to be uniquely marked, helping police quickly identify and return stolen phones to victims when recovered. If a phone is found, the markings make it easier for officers to track ownership and ensure that property is returned promptly.

Pop along to this event to get your phone marked for free.

GLE leaseholder meeting
2026-03-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Sir Ralph Perring Centre, Golden Lane Estate
Sir Ralph Perring Centre

The GLERA committee has organised a meeting for all leaseholders interested in being part of the GLE Leaseholder Group.

Small groups of leaseholders have been working together to establish what we jointly need to do to get in a position to negotiate with the Corporation once they confirm their position and we are provided with the cost that they are expecting us to contribute.

The aim of the meeting is to outline and discuss what we believe our actions should be and to ask leaseholders from each block to help by finding information and researching the legal context so that we can respond to the Corporations charging methodology when it is published.

If you can’t attend in person and would like a Teams link then please email Sue on chair.glera@gmail.com

Access to Sir Ralph Perring CentreAt the moment there is limited access across the estate – you can’t approach SRPC from along the sides of the swimming pool or from under Hatfield. For tomorrow’s meeting use the allotments gates nearest to Basterfield House and approach from Golden Lane.

St Giles Church, Barbican

If you submitted an objection to the scheme proposed for 1 Silk Street you may have by now received notification that revisions to the scheme have now been submitted. You may also have received highly misleading communications from the developer, Lipton Rogers, investors La Salle, or their publicity consultants, Kanda, or read stories in the press, implying that significant concessions have been made in the light of objections. Barbican Quarter Action’s Silk Street campaign considers that the amendments submitted are marginal and the scheme remains a huge missed opportunity by the City of London.

A large number of additional documents have been added to the original application however we will attempt to guide you through the relevant items at our next meeting to be held on Wednesday 11 March, 7pm, St Giles Cripplegate
