Update on the Britannia project

Construction work at Shoreditch Parkside, part of the Council’s Britannia project, is currently paused after the Council’s construction contractor Ardmore Construction Group went into administration.

We have been monitoring Ardmore’s financial position and working on contingency plans to get the new homes on the Britannia project completed as soon as possible in the event of any insolvency.

We appreciate that this is a difficult time for all stakeholders in the project, and are committed to completing the development as soon as possible, including the 51 social rent homes.

We are making contact with residents who are due to move into the social rented homes in the development, and those who had expressed interest in the homes for private sale, to explain the delay.

Ardmore’s security staff continue to be present on site 24 hours a day, and a mobile security unit is also patrolling the site.
