Exciting events nearby

The post below announces some road closures.
This post celebrates the events that will cause them.

• The London Nocturne celebrates its 10th year with a new race course around Cheapside and Guildhall area on 4 June. As in previous years a cycling expo area, food stalls and live music will fuel the festival atmosphere and races will take place between 4pm and 11pm.
  
  
• Vitality 10K race will take place on Monday 30 May. The Vitality London 10,000 course is ideal for spectators. Runners run along the Strand twice, at 1km and then again at 8km, making this a great place to watch the action. The course passes many of London’s famous sights including Admiralty Arch, Nelson’s Column, St Paul’s Cathedral, Mansion House, the Bank of England, the Old Bailey, Somerset House, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

Road Closures

News from the City's traffic management team


Moorgate will be closed to southbound traffic between 8pm on Saturday 28 May until 29 May 2016. So we can expect tailbacks in the Beech Street tunnel. It'll mainly be on Sunday so probably not so bad.  


On Monday 30 May The Vitality 10K race will reusult in closures in The City and Westminster. Nothing in our immediate area unless you count Cheapside. There's a map here




On  Saturday 4 June the London Nocturne will result in road closures for most of the day some of which might inconvenience residents. There's details here.

External Decorations

Several residents of Shakespeare Tower, including Helen Goddard and Ted Reilly from the committee met representatives of the external decoration team (K&M McLoughlin)  on 19 May together with Sheila Delaney and Steven Murray of the estate office.
By now you will have received the survey monkey with the colour and finish options.
The painting work will start on June 13 and last for 12 weeks.
During this time you will be informed on a day to day basis when the decorators will be on your balcony. At some point you will need to be present to enable the painters to paint the edges that require doors or windows to be open. The doors or windows will need to be open for 8 hours for drying. The decorators are not able to use key permission.
The decoration team will keep us all informed through newsletters, which will include contact phone numbers and email addresses.
As soon as these are available they'll be posted on the useful numbers section of the blog
