Rebuilding and remedial work at Compton Close
On Wednesday, 8 July 2020, a crane from a neighbouring Swan Housing Association development site in Bow, East London, collapsed onto properties, including homes owned by Gateway Housing Association in Compton Close. Tragically, a person lost their life.
Properties 2 & 3 Compton Close were subsequently listed as structurally unsafe and issued with a dangerous structure notice. Subsequently, there was no option except for properties 2 & 3 Compton Close to be demolished.
Kingsbury Construction Co.Ltd has been appointed by Gateway Housing Association to carry out the building of properties 2 and 3 Compton Close, as well as restoring the gardens of properties 1,4,5, and 6 Compton Close.
